We see here Indians bragging about how they have won all the wars she has fought. So I thought why not open a thread to collect some facts.
It is a known fact that India has been at wars with many of her neighbors since she is the major source of exporting cross-border terrorism in the region. Here is the list of some of the wars the modern day "India" has fought:
1948: War with Pakistan
Result: Sound defeat. Lost major part of Kashmir
1962: War with China
Result: Lost badly to China
1965: War with Pakistan
Result: Stalemate, ceasefire
1971: War with Pakistan (taking advantage of civil war in Pakistan)
Result: Pakistan lost Bangladesh
1987-1990: War in Sri Lanka
Result: Soundly defeated. Had to withdraw all the forces.
1999: War with Pakistan in Kargil
Result: Stalemate, ceasefire
So why is that Indians always brag about 1971, which was actually a civil war in Pakistan started by Indian trained terrorists but forget all the others where Indians were soundly defeated? Gloating about a situation, where it was almost next to impossible to defend East Pakistan because of its geographical location (where in order to reach from one part of Pakistan to the other you actually had to cross India first), is not really great heroism.
Could it be due to the hindutava enforced distortion of history, which is taught in their schools to keep war-mongering going on in the Indian mindsets? That greately suits fundamentalist nutcases like Modi.
What would it be like if for a change real history is taught in Indian schools?
Any ideas?
