Following India’s successful Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK, the global response has sparked intense emotions back home. Notably, the support expressed by Turkey and Azerbaijan for Pakistan has led to significant backlash, especially on social media.
Azerbaijan, a popular tourist destination for Indians in recent years, has faced strong criticism. Hashtags such as #BoycottBaku and #BanTurkey have flooded social media, with users urging fellow Indians to reconsider traveling to these countries. Instead, many have recommended exploring Armenia and Greece, which are considered rivals to Turkey and Azerbaijan.
In response, Indian tour operators and hospitality businesses have begun taking action. A prominent villa rental company in Goa declared that it would no longer accept bookings from Turkish citizens, expressing solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces and the nation’s stance against terrorism.
The sentiments of Indian netizens are clear: countries that support actions against India could face both public backlash and economic consequences. While it remains to be seen whether these online campaigns will affect broader travel and trade, the growing trend is already making waves across social platforms.
