There is a difference between Indian army and likes of Chinese army and Pakistan àrmy.
And that difference can be seen between any democracy and an autocratic dictatorship or a quassi dictatorship.
The difference is a democracy will always honour soldiers who laid down their lives for the country, they will be remembered and monuments will be built for them, like hospital which has been named after 20 Indian Martyrs.
Where as an autocratic dictatorship will not only, not honour it's dead soldiers, it will refuse to acknowledge their sacrifice at all. Some of these countries even refuse to accept the bodies of its dead soldiers or try to pass them as militants instead.
For these countries, their soldiers are disposable assets, who can be used and discarded or forgotten as they see fit, but that does not happen in a country like India.
