I am sure this number is much bigger than that. Each year, 100+ Indian soldiers die by shooting themselves and others "brave" soldiers die of cardiac arrest when they are challenged by a threat.

Well the last and final question is, were you able to defeat Indian army? Were you able to take Kashmir from India?
It's a fact, if you think you can defeat India by just killing soldiers, always remember that for every single soldier you killed will leave a void which will be contested by 1000 more....
Keep trying... forever
