You need to understand how the psyche works which is reflective in the Indian media which has largely been discredited by the World as a 'Factory for Disinformation'. Look at how the EU busted India's fake news. I am yet to find a credible Indian News Source.
But the psyche i am talking about, you need to understand that. The psyche is obsessed with dominating its foes which includes Pakistan and China. The Indians want to be respected and feared like the Israelis are or the way the Soviet Army was feared by its foes. This is why Narenda Modi was elected with such a thumping majority because he promised that he will put Pakistan and China in its place.
When the Indian intelligentsia and Modi realized that they cannot teach Pakistan/China a lesson, they pumped out fake information to sooth the ego of the average India. Think logically for a second, the Indians claimed they killed 40 PLA soldiers but nobody in India paused to think, if we killed 40 PLA soldiers how did the PLA manage to neutralize and wipe out the entire leadership of the Brigade (2 LT Col and 3 Majors). That's 5 freaking Officers the Chinese managed to kill or capture. Against Pakistan, it was very obvious that India lost the aerial duel but the fake information went to overdrive and claimed that an F16 was shot down. There was absolutely no evidence and the Indians were showing the pictures of the MIG21 engine as the evidence of the F16 that was shot down. A bollywood story was issued that before going down WC Abhi fired a missile which hit the F16. Nobody in India paused to reflect, if WC Abhi shot down the F16 how come all of his A2A missiles were recovered by Pakistan.
Thus, you need to stop and understand the psyche of the people you're dealing with. The Indian media follows a strategy of 'Multiply by 2', whatever casualties the Indians take, the media multiplies it by 2 and publishes it for the foe. The fake media is reflecting of the national psyche.
