The Roman military had to sail to Scotland in limited numbers from Italy. This could take weeks if not longer. They did not have a supply route or a population 7x bigger than Scotland backing them up that bordered Scotland. The only advantage they had was weapons technology. Every other advantage was with the Scots and Picts. So the comparison of that with Pakistan and India is completely ludicrous.
The Roman Army was located right on the border to Scotland after the conquest of Britain.
Soldiers in the Roman Army were not supplied from Italy.
The distance between Italy and Scotland is not that different from the distance
between Eastern India and Pakistan.
They mostly bought produce from local merchants, so distance from Italy was largely irrelevant.
Please continue to stick Your head in the sand and modify conditions amounting way beyond ludicrous.
