As someone who has always loved exploring the world, I’ve built my bucket list around beauty, history, and adventure. But some moments redefine how we see the world - and who we choose to engage with.
Operation Sindhoor wasn’t just a military move. It was a message. A message that India will not tolerate terror, provocation, or betrayal. And as I watched the global reactions unfold, I knew it was time to clean up my list.
I no longer wish to visit countries that stood against India when it mattered.
A country that has repeatedly allowed terror to grow on its soil and strike at India has no place on my map. Their reaction to Operation Sindhoor - defending terrorists and threatening retaliation - only confirms what we’ve always known. Never going.
When India took a bold stand against terrorism, Azerbaijan stood with Pakistan instead of justice. That’s all I needed to see. No historic sites or landscapes are worth supporting those who side with terror.
Turkey has made its loyalties clear time and again. When India acted in self-defense, Turkey chose to support Pakistan.Armed those who attacked India, providing them with weapons and drones to strike our land. I’ve scratched it off my list permanently.
From Ladakh to diplomatic cover for Pakistan, China has never truly stood with India. During this operation too, it dodged the real issue. I won’t spend a single rupee in a country that ignores our sacrifices.
My travel choices reflect who I am. I won’t fund economies that turn their backs on India or support those who threaten its peace. The world is vast, and there are plenty of countries that still respect what India stands for.
These four? I’m done with them.
