300 people dead, more people died in 9/11, is that a terrorist victory?
Sino Indian was a full fledged war, close to 10,000 casualties including both sides.
But let's not talk about that 1962 Indian army hasn't started to modernize yet, while we were hot off a lengthy civil war, and our troops are battle hardened.
Chola? It's not a conclusive proof of anything, too limited in scale, and it happened in 1967, our weakest years.
IF you follow baseball, you will know sample size is the most important.
Let's look at present.
India's infantry is severely under equipped, both in transportation, artillery support, weapons, daily supplies, and communication also much more.
Also India cannot achieve air superiority, though at this point we may not be able to do it either. At present, India has access to a lot of Western equipments, so there may even be an Indian advantage, though not much. But look for us in 2020, that's when our indigenous industry really go into full force. Then we get into techs Europe doesn't have, Americans don't want to share, Russians don't have in numbers.
Would anybody argue against these? The difference in air is negligible at this point, the difference on the ground is not. I won't go into sea at this point, we both kinda suck, wait a decade before we go into it.
