[If I may]
(a) you guys are not understanding Narendra Modi.....Modi is a genious......Modi clearly knows that elections (in India) can not be won by wars (contrary to what you think - no politician can win an election in India purely on war reasons)........Modi knows that economy is the key (which is why he won in Y2014 + not being corrupt reasons).......I believe that Modi does not want the escalation to go out of hand on feb-26 / feb-27 (I believe he is careful there).......Modi's intention is to calm down the border without escalating. There is no point in fighting, when we are happy with what we have. Indians are perfectly Ok with status quo.
(b) I mentioned in my previous posts, why normal Indians (like me) are happy....even if SU-30 is lost, part of me is ok with it.....as this will give reasons to ministry of defence to take very hard decisions.....but I know Modi will not spend unnecessary money in defence, and neglect infrastructure / economy.
(c) However, particularly after Mumbai attacks, Indians are really really really looking for a "tough" leader(vis-a-vis continuous terror attacks) and Modi filled that role.
(d) Modi tried to make peace with Nawaz Sharif, but did not work out....(I think) Modi does not trust Imran Khan (personally, I became a fan of Imran Khan after reading his books - particularly the first 2 books. But I do not think he is a good politician).
my 2 cents.....I am not infallible.....
I am reading PDF + BR for very long (stopped BR for the past 6 months or so).....I know F-16; SU-30 etc etc.....but don't know in such detail....in the past week, I read responses in PDF (I learnt a lot from
@anathema responses +
@MirageBlue;
@Jaskier responses in other forums); watched videos, and my knowledge improved.......Also, I am reading all english Pak newspapers for the past 10 years....and know much about Pak than regular Indian folks.....but definitely, my intention is not to troll.....
