. Kargil for e.g. was a brilliant strategy, just the worst possible time to implement it.

@kaku1
Excuse me you are wrong on both counts
Kargil was TACTICALLY Brilliant BUT
1 Kargil was a bad strategy because you could not factor in India's infantry mobilisation
Heavy Artillerry and Air power
2 The timing was PERFECT because of
A Lahore peace accord had been signed in February
B The guard was down ; India always VACATED the posts in winter
C The Nuclear tests had made it impossible that India expand the conflict
That was known to Gen Musharraf
India DID not cross the LOC because Pakistan was creating a Nuclear scare
And Pakistan wanted the whole world to INTERVENE to prevent a nuclear conflict
We WON the military conflict without crossing the LOC and that got the Global support in our favour
Indo US relations were bad ; India was being portrayed as a rouge state
for conducting Nuclear Tests
STILL we could rally the world in our favour while beating back the Intruders
Pakistan was Hoping for a ceasefire so that it could threaten our Highway and Siachen
We continued fighting till LOC was restored
