Timelines still dont align. Bangaldesh war happened in 1971 where those duffers had the hardware but not the brains to use it. So us whacking them doesnt prove anything new since we were always better and smarter strategically
Please read actual accounts of the war and you’ll find the truth, india did lose some battles here and there, but won many more, and they had the full hearted backing of NATO and the USA and the entire Islamic World.
You don’t win battles if you don’t have the brains to use it. India broke USAs largest proxy state, no matter how much coping will not change this fact. Also, india defeated ISI backed Khalistanis and slaughtered Soviet-Afghan war veterans in 6:1 ratios in Kashmir in 1993-1994.
PA/PAF resisting the Soviets in the 80s had everything - hardware, intel, EW support and possibly CIA controllers handholding them every step of the way at least on the Afghan front. Both Siachen and Kargil again prove that they are still duffers and cant do sh!t unless someone is there to baby sit them.
Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. They also held their own against Israel.
Not capture Tibet, but pull a Doklam. At the first sign of salami slicing send in your infantry forces to Tibet and confront them. Raise the cost at the very beginning instead of lauda lassun panch-sheel! In the 1950s, CCP/PLA were heavily involved in the Korean war and would have been super wary of a second front even with favorable odds. For arguments sake, if a conflict did happen, who do you think McArthur and Co. would have backed?
Lol so you want a country whose just got independence, underwent the most brutal famine, has been fighting nonstop wars in Kashmir or in Hyderabad, to open up another front instead of focus on its economic development?
Instead we waited till the problem grew exponentially and were left to contend with the battle hardened PLA veterans from the Korean war in 1962. Chacha 420's NAM initiative meant both super powers were pissed off with us at the outset and no one came to our aid. After much NAM diarrhea he did write to JFK begging for help! If only better sense had a prevailed which brings me back to my earlier point where history has not been kind to Bharat.
You should read about who persuaded india not to use their airforce. You also totally leave out tactical errors which led to disasters, especially in Namka Chu. For eg, not occupying the Thag La ridge which dominates that area. The fact is that no matter what the weapons or superpower backing you have, a poorly planned forward policy would repeat its results.
