Listen, We are talking about India Vs China. Not India vs Pakistan. The times have changed and you are as delusional as your countrymen. Your whole life you have tried to gauge yourself with Pakistan and that will be your undoing.
You are a Sikh but the Indian government doesn't believe Sikhism as its own religion. So for them, you are all Hindus. You remember 71 but remember the rape of Punjab and the golden temple. Where tanks were driven into your places of worship.
India was a flourishing British colony and the Chinese were opium-addicts. Within 60+ years they have transformed themselves into something that China could never achieve. All the advantages of a superpower were given to India in its inception but now look at you. You guys can't even make toilets for your public.
China's rise and its ability to manufacture is far greater than that of Indias. War is not a joke and this is not Pakistan you are fighting. A limited war with China will be disastrous for a banana republic like India.
You are happy about unconfirmed 40 Chinese dead but it was the Chinese that handed over 10 Indian soldiers. My point is about the objective being achieved. What did India achieve? it only legitimized chinas claims because Modi is stupid. WWII was the British and after that, you have fought Pakistan. Even those wars were not at the scale of what type of destruction the Chinese will bring. Last time you fought china, You were totally defeated.
