Epic fail seems to be your favourite term, did you grow up listening to it.Epic Fail.
This video is from October.
As for Operation Parakram, it was a gigantic sucess it forced Pakistan to vastly reduce militant infiltration into Kashmir:

Forget what others asses or assume, listen to your own kind first.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/oct/17/india.kashmirIndia announced last night that it would withdraw thousands of soldiers from its border with Pakistan, making its most significant step towards reducing tension with its nuclear rival for nearly a year.
But in recent months senior Indian officers have admitted that their men are fed-up and need a break from the trenches.
The decision to withdraw comes after the elections in Kashmir which unseated the unpopular National Conference last week.
Casualties[edit]
The standoff inflicted heavy casualties. The total Indian casualties were 789–1,874 killed. Many accidents during the mobilisation were due to the poor quality of mines and fuses[2][3] Around 100 of these fatalities were from mine laying operations. Artillery duels with Pakistan, vehicle accidents, and other incidents make up the rest.[2]
Cost of standoff[edit]
The Indian cost for the buildup was ₹216 billion (US$3.2 billion) while Pakistan's was $1.4 billion.[27]
