Ok forget everything, think purely logically, say you were tasked to capture a outpost and you know that there are 12 to 20 at the max stationed there, how many men would you use to surround the outpost and what would be your tactics?
The known facts are at least 17 BSF men died that day, because that's the number of dead we handed over and also 2 BDR men died with 1 more latter as a result of his injuries. The minimum number needed to surround the outpost is 200 not counting any support troops etc.
We also know the BSF failed to capture the outpost, from eyewitnesses it's been confirmed the time of the incident and the events, its was a flawed operation, without proper planning. Why would anyone attack at dawn, through muddy paddy fields, in open ground, it begs belief more didn't perish. Anyone trying to run through a paddy field can tell you how difficult it is.
Look I don't care what others claim, I can only say what each side has accepted, now you have to ask the indian government why they aren't making available an official account of events.
