Bingo. The LOC has rarely ever been quite. There is always firing, pushing, prodding, testing, small scale skirmishes happening all the time. But recently we saw the dawn of the 'sirjikal' era. That is what was routine on LOC was sold as 'Sirjikial' and Indian media went into overdrive on a marketing exercise. Expect the same and a Bolly movie.Both India and Western commentators have pretty much accepted there’s very little India can do outside of military actions at a level that could possibly escalate into a major military conflict, if not outright war.
That said, Modi and the BJP have cornered themselves with their own rabid hatemongerimg and blame game against Pakistan, and need to show something to the public. Therefore, what’s likely to happen is that some of the same small scale military actions that both countries have been engaging in for years will occur again, but India is going to hype it up, like it did with the alleged surgical strikes, exaggerate the casualty figures, maybe even claim some PA ‘Generals’ were killed, and let the nut-job Indian media do the rest in terms of brainwashing Indians into thinking something spectacular was done.
Modi can then swagger "we did this" and 1.4 billion Indians will walk few inches taller ....
