You are assuming that the 26th strikes was part of a war which it was not. It was more of a message saying - you mess with us, "hum ghar mein gusske marenge". If we wanted war, we wouldn't be silly to attack one site, come back and announce it. We would have used all the 3 forces in multiple areas.Public and common man has no time to dig info from internet like we do. They believe what they saw on TV. The point I am making is, suddenly the goal was shifted from bring back masood Azhar to bring back Bharat ka beta Abhinandan.
I can also say that the government insisted and was serious to bring him back because he was the son of air marshal. So this rtd air marshal used his contacts to get him back.
Was he the first ever POW caught by Pakistan that we stopped our ops to fetch him. I am not able to digest this. We never did so when Nachiketa was caught. Why? Because his father was not an air marshal?
No one gives a fudge about equal-equal tactical play. Whether they were able to drop the payload or not. Point is those bastards got our pilot and we stopped. This is the reality. Otherwise India would have unleashed havoc on them for what they did in Pulwama. And this act of returning POW in open media gave the Paki government say that they are for peace and India is the aggressor.
Who else in India pressurized the Indian govt to bring back abhinandan, who started shouting? They are all in Pakistani pay role.
Again, Abhi's release and the seriousness that you define, could be how Modi reacts and acts. Instead of focusing on Abhinandan's rescue, why haven't you questioned when many more warriors of ours were killed but many other governments remained to stay quiet.
There is no evidence that India would have continued the attack even if Abhi was not captured. We have a country to protect and war would have tipped the scales to a nuclear flash point - which dilutes the strategy we are after.
Lastly, you are right about our public and the common man. However, anything and everything Modi says at this time will be pinned against him as an election gimmick. I think he is a true nationalist and decided to do what is the best for the country and soak in the bigger picture.
I will conclude by saying its better to fail in war than not go to war for the fear of failing.
