Your jet being brought down in front of the entire world is important. The fact that your state lost a ton of credibility in these events - because most people believe it lied about the initial airstrikes and then downing an F-16 - is important. It showed your hijra leader and your public that you can't treat Pakistan like Israel treats Palestine. Same can't be said about Masood Azhar, because no one outside India is claiming he is a state actor.
In the same token, Pakistan is now seen as harboring a terrorist, hand in glove with China while crying hoarse about being a victim of terror. Proofs provided by India were not enough previously for China, but suddenly that changed?
So if credibility is at stake, Pakistan has lost much as well.
But that’s the point I’m trying to make.
Apart from the jingoistic high one gets from either of these pieces of news, practical changes are few to report.
Masood Azhar is not going to be handed to India and will continue to work behind close doors, and India isn’t going to stop its aggression towards Pak, nor give Kashmir freedom because you brought down one Indian jet! India is not defeated, it’s army still stands much larger than yours, as does it’s credibility and value in the world.
Both are inconsequential in the larger scheme of things. What they’re good for is the like of you and other PDF members to get a minor endorphin rush which perhaps other parts of your life may not be catering to. Lol
No issue at all, Mate. I have thanked you twice. We are deliberating. I have seen your point of view and you have mine. And of course, we can continue with this or some other issue, on this forum. Cheers.
Appreciate the decency of your post.
I actually think we are saying the same thing, just expressing it differently.
