When does the international/Western media ever praise the Indian army? It's only when it is absolutely obvious that India won decisively, that they are forced to admit it. ie in 1971. Actually even in Goa in 1961, the narrative in the Western media was India aggressor or India simply overwhelmed a dispirited, non-resisting Portuguese force.No one believes in international fake news. Same news is saying USA riots are peaceful. Lol.
The ultimate barrier is Territory holding. Let's see where that ends up.
