India does not care about losses. They have huge territory, industry and manpower. They have a lot of money. China shot down a fighter jet, Indians could buy 10 new fighters from Russia or the United States. China kills three soldiers, and Indians can give birth to 300,000 children a year.
However, for the time being, Modi will not order an attack first. He is patient and careful. He will not take risks. War with China may help Modi become the greatest leader in Indian history, but if it fails, it is the end of his political career.
