Actually, we lost about 500 men. Thousands might be the Pakistani textbook claim, but that's what it is.
And let see, Pakistan invades Indian territory, India retaliates, gets back Indian territory aaaaannnnnddd.......that's somehow Indian loss
Of course I haven't even gone into other factors like your PM getting ousted by a military coup after the war, or your PM's trip to America for support, etc
Kargil war was the most televised war in Indian history, plus we've had almost 20 years to see who exactly won and who lost.....like I said, it wasn't our country which suffered a military coup after the war
