Not really, social upheaval in Pakistan has no consequence on the actual military might of Pakistan. Economic issues that you are facing affect the common people. Neither of the two crisis affect the Military administration one bit, Military is still getting it's J10's and Missile boats, and warships. The fighting strength of Pakistan Is not affected one bit. At the end of the day real power is sum of the firepower you have. All this media circus has not dented that one bit.
I can't, I don't speak for Indians that is too big, too diverse, and too opinionated group, I can only speak for myself. In my opinion, most of the people of the median age in India I know are quite isolated from international affairs and are informed through whatever click bait'ish commentary that happens in the mediasphere, which is unfortunate. The ones who are knowledgeable are not vocal enough to make any impact on the public narrative. Fortunately, foreign affairs is handled by a professional lot and that is where almost all of India across a wide political spectrum resonates as one voice.
Given the forum is a psuedo-pti mouthpiece, here is my take to draw the flak. IK is neither a statesman nor a politician of any caliber to have made any positive changes to pakistan's polity, the time he had in power he did not work in any substantial way to make any institutional reforms to strengthen Pakistani Politics. But then neither are the sharif and rest of the clowns. And that is no coincidence, that is by the design of your GHQ, of promoting mediocre political leadership that ensures they can keep their stranglehold on Pakistan. If you keep stifling political will, natural leadership will not be inculcated, and that is what is festering around in Pakistan post-Zia.
The current round of entertainment surrounding IK's ouster and then all this "inqillab" is par for the course, If any leadership crosses the GHQ, he will be cut to size, this is not new, this is not the exception, this is the norm in Pakistan for anyone to see. Bhutto, Nawaz, Benazir,nawaz, Zardari, IK all have been meted the same treatment, and I am surprised that this even makes headways in Pakistan. This should be known by now.
folks like
@SQ8 would get mighty upset when I would quote precedence of PA's conduct vis-a-vis Foriegn affairs with India and why India needs to negotiate with military. Iirc at one point, stating that India is not giving Pakistani Political leadership a fair shot (Read IK), except with the outside perspective we have always known who has been in power all along, while you guys are too close to see the full perspective. (i.e if anyone recall the "Same Page" BS peddled here)
After all this zaman park, and subsequent elections and IK's return to power, make no mistakes, YOUR MILITARY will still reign supreme.
