Operation Pawan was indeed a military operation launched by the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka to support the Sri Lankan government's efforts to combat the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) insurgency. However, Operation Pawan began on October 11, 1987, not October 10. It was a significant military intervention in the Sri Lankan civil conflict, and it continued for several years.
The IPKF's mission was to restore peace and order in the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka, which were heavily affected by the conflict between the Sri Lankan government forces and the LTTE. The operation aimed to disarm the LTTE and create conditions for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Operation Pawan faced many challenges, including complex political dynamics and fierce fighting in the region. The operation officially concluded in 1990, although India continued to have a presence in Sri Lanka until it withdrew its forces in 1991.
The operation had a significant impact on the Sri Lankan civil war and the broader geopolitical context in the region, and its consequences are still discussed and analyzed today.
