India's goal was to prevent Pakistan from internationalizing the Kashmir issue and it was a 100% success.
Pakistan wanted UN to discuss Kashmir or at least a Major power to intervene in Kashmir or change their stance.
That didn't happen either.
Even OIC General assembly did not pass a resolution on Kashmir, only a OIC contact group which has a mere 4 members since 1994 passed the same resolution they have been passing in the past 20 years.
Pakistan failed to increase the number of OC contact group members too.
Not just that Pakistan got humiliated after claiming in press releases that Kashmir was discussed in meetings with foreign leaders.
But soon press releases by those nations made Zero mention of Kashmir whatsoever.
Typical Indian self denial and self delusional response. If it fails just change the original objective. They do it in their indegenous military programs all the time. First they come up with requirements which are greatest and the best in the world. The program invariably fails but instead of being introspective they still thump their chest in false bravado by simply calling the failure a "Technology Demonstrator".
They wanted to isolate us on the false pretext of sponsoring terorrism and they failed miserably plain and simple. Pakistanis are not stupid, resolutions are useless, we have had them since 1948. Raising the issue in international forums is more about letting the Kashmiris know that we are supporting them so that they continue their struggle and be a pain in your a$$. As far as awareness about Kashmir is concerned, Pakistan doesn't have to do anything, I am sure dispatches from foreign embassies in Delhi are picking it all up and letting their governments know like for example 100 innocent Kashmiri killed, thousand more injured, maimed and blinded. Kids parading the streets of Kashmir carrying Pakistani flags, a whole new generation of Kashmiri youth who have nothing but hatred for India. That is success by any standard.
As for Pakistan a few developments since India started to Isolate it:
Nearly $60 billion CPEC kicks off which is the biggest single transfer of resources, technology and Industry in a short span since the Marshall Plan. Some of the projects are already nearing completion.
Ex Pakistani Army Chief of Staff asked to lead a 34 nation alliance of Islamic countries to fight terrorism. So much for being the sponsor of terrorism
Russian, China and even Iran agree to Pakistani view on the role of Afghan Taliban. Even the US wants to talk to them.
Internal insurgency both TTP and Baluch defeated. Some mopping up and consolidation still needed. There will continue to be occasional terrorist attacks but the existential threat is long gone.
Resurgence of Karachi after decades of crime, gangsterism and terrorism. 90% decline in crime. Indian sponsored Jabba the Hut aka Altaf Hussain nothing more than a drunk, blabbering piece of fat.
Economy hitting 6% growth rate despite all the challenges
Now lets see what happened in India
The surgical strikes happened. Countries have very effective intelligence gathering capabilities and they know much more then the spins goverments throws out for their general population. All major countries know the reality of the surgical strikes and I bet a lot chuckling is going on about the sheer stupidity of Indian claims.
Demonetization happened. The rural economy is collapsing and supply chain has broken down. There might be a food crisis. Daily wage workers are literally dying because they cannot be paid. This move will have little or no impact on corruption. People will simply move to foreign currency and gold which will have an impact on the Indian Rupee.
BRIC countries refused to support India on resolution against Pakistan during a meeting India hosted
Indian was denied entry into NSG
India failed to designate Masood Azhar at the UNSC
Russia showed India the middle finger
Although I don't take it seriously, Trump alluded to acting as an intermediary between Pakistan and India on Kashmir. This is an anathema for India
and so on and so forth
