‘Drone pakoras' take off on social media as retired soldier lightens mood amid India-Pakistan standoff
As drone attacks swept into public discourse amid the India-Pakistan military hostilities, a lighter take on the situation on social media Sunday featured 'drone pakoras'. Retired Lieutenant General (Retd) K J S Dhillon shared a picture of this unique snack on his X account, sparking waves of engagement. It showed three pakoras shaped like drones, completely unlike the traditional fried snack. He captioned it: 'Drone Pakoras… new snack in the Air Defence Regiment. Jai Hind.' Drone Pakoras A new snack in Air Defence Regiments Jai Hind 🇮🇳 PC : www — KJS DHILLON🇮🇳 (@TinyDhillon) May 11, 2025 His imaginative post quickly went viral across platforms. It has garnered more than 12,00 likes and been reposted more than 1,700 times. Former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Gurinder Dhillon chimed in with a witty remark: 'All Punjabi brothers are advised to start eating 'Drone Pakoras', a Turkish-Chinese dish, to fully support the Indian Air Defence Regiment. We are proud of our Air Defence Forces.' Amid ongoing attempts by some to patent the name Operation Sindoor, India's military attack on terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok), another user, Raj Shukla, humorously suggested: 'The Indian Air Defence Regiment must immediately patent the 'Drone Pakora' before some clever businessman grabs the idea!' Meanwhile, India's north-western front was relatively calmer Saturday night after three days of cross-border shelling and drone attacks in the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan. This was after a ceasefire to put an end to days of military action between India and Pakistan. Most districts in Punjab lifted the blackout orders that were implemented shortly after shelling resumed in neighbouring Jammu and Kashmir. Although a red alert was issued in Amritsar early Sunday morning, it was eventually lifted. While sounds of explosions were reported in Pathankot and Amritsar, officials said these were due to undetonated explosives being disposed of by the Indian Army, reassuring the public that there was no cause for concern. —-
