Claim
After the Pahalgam attack, India struck inside Pakistan's own territory so hard that Pakistan was put in its place.

Rationale
The verifiable core of the claim is true: after the 22 April 2025 Pahalgam attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025, striking nine sites inside Pakistani territory, including four in Pakistan's Punjab province (Muridke, Bahawalpur) — the first strikes on Pakistan's heartland since 1971 — confirmed by both governments and international media. The assertion that Pakistan was 'put in its place' (aukaat aa gayi) is rhetorical opinion, not a checkable fact; the ensuing exchange was contested, with Pakistani retaliation, reported loss of Indian aircraft, and a ceasefire on 10 May. Confidence is slightly reduced because the boastful framing overstates a one-sided outcome, but the factual assertion of striking inside Pakistan's territory is accurate.
