Cross-border terrorism is rife in the state of J&K. But a look back we can recollect that in 1970-71 the Indian army disguised as Mukti Bahni entered East Pakistan. This was the first case of cross-border terrorism. I recollect reading that many officers of Indian special forces were killed months before the real war started in East Pakistan. The fact is the Mukti Bahni could not even kill a chicken and Pakistan is angry that we broke up the Pak state into two. They will not accept and so now they are out for revenge and may well succeed.I invite readers to comment and look at the problem in totality.

Winning a war in the west is not easy. The Pak and Indian army are from same racial stock and in 3 wars the Indian Army could not breach PAK defences. At best they could go just 7 km into Pak. India lost an entire brigade in 65 trying to capture Lahore. In 71 the battle in west was a stale mate. In KARGIL. Indian army could not take entire hill and PK vacated only under US pressure. To think IA wIn is easier said than done and considering stAte of affairs what if Pak wins? Modi has no comprehension of how to tackle Pal and keep military morale high.

Aren't there learned and wise brains in the armed forces advising him?

It will surprise you that the strong will officers are filtered out in higher ranks and the men who reach the top are yes men. So?????
There won't be any world war and I can say China may support Pak but will not physically fight India for the sake of Pak. They have a trade worth 86 billion dollars with India. A fight will be there but an India Pak fight only and the result is a toss-up. What if Pak wins, which is also likely. Being smug about victory is the most foolish thing. It could lead to a similar fight in Kashmir valley like in East Pakistan.
I think India has become better under Modi, in terms of getting more protective & attacking equipments, also there is more expression by the Army, however the possibility of a war looks more likely now as both the parties have become aggressive. India's morale should be in good spirits following the recent success in Surgical strikes & other successful operations.
