Your statement is a hotchpotch of different thoughts that have little bearing to what I said, but I will try to answer the best I can, hopefully, so we can move towards a conclusion. I do like your inquisitive approach rather than empty answers, so thank you for that.
Means to an end? Everything you do in life is a means to an end, you drink water and eat food so have enough nutrients to function and stay alive, and you breathe air so that your body gets oxygen to be able to operate. Means to an end means nothing.
All wars are measured by a large number of perimeters and not all perimeters apply to every single scenario. But I am willing to answer your questions provided mine are included and accepted in the discussion. Surely the world does not operate by your benchmarks alone.
I recognize your acknowledgement of Pakistan army Jawans as Bravehearts, and heartily accept the same goes for Indian Army Jawans, both our Jawans love their countries so they deserve our respect and fair analysis of the past, only then we can move towards a peaceful future.
Your last paragraph is seriously lacking in commonsense, I think it would be wise to at least make an effort to understand what the other person has said before attempting a reply. I never claimed we won the wars, when did I make that claim? I clearly said India was not able to defeat Pakistan in any of the wars.
Before I give a detailed reply to your questions, whilst adding a more realistic analysis of relevant facts, I would like you to declare what is your claim? Because you have not made a claim, but I infer from your statements that you think you won all of the wars. I find that extremely hilarious.
Pravin Sawhney is an ex-Indian Army officer and was a correspondence for Jane’s international defense review for 6 years. He has no soft spot for Pakistan especially its Army. Like all Indians, he is also negatively obsessed with the Pakistan army, with some of his claims regarding the Pakistan army being of suspect nature.
What we are concerned with here is his analysis of Indian armed forces, I have yet to meet an Indian who does not blow trumpets regarding their armed forces and he is also one of them in his other writings, but I have to respect him for being truthful here, his motive being so that his army and his people can learn from reality rather than keep ignoring the facts.
At 14:40 he clearly states with heavy emphasis that in all the years since 1947 Pakistan has never lost a war with India in the western sector, and makes a joke of Indian claims to have repeatedly beaten them.
