They even stopped targeting Pakistani targets within their own territory after 3 of their aircraft were shot down.All the Kargil fighting took place on the Indian side of LOC.....what stopped the agni pankh from crossing over and attacking targets on the Pakistani side......maybe it was waiting for a second front to open to prove it can fight a two front war.

Taj Mahal 'to be camouflaged'
Security was stepped up following 11 September
The Taj Mahal, one of India's most famous landmarks, is to be covered with dark cloth as protection against possible bombing raids in the event of war with neighbouring Pakistan, officials say.
Local tailors in Agra were reported to be stitching more than 400 metres of khaki, black and green cloth, to be strung across the celebrated monument to love.
Officials said they would try to hide the 17th century mausoleum's dome and four minarets and dome from any Pakistani airstrike.
The Taj could be a target
Local tourism official
An Indian air force base is located in the city.
"The Taj shines as far as 40 kilometre (24 miles) away, and is visible especially on moonlit nights. It could be a target," tourism official MS Juyal was quoted as saying by Associated Press.
Workers also have started building five bunkers to house armed guards around the monument, the agency reported.
A source from the Archaeological Survey of India told French news agency AFP that ladders had already been arranged around the monument and special ropes were being brought in.
"These are precautionary steps being taken to meet the situation in case it arises," the source said.

The question arises, why would Pakistan want to bomb or destroy Taj Mahal, which after all is a Muslim monument. !!!

And what exactly did Gangashakti achieved except you certainly fancy yourself likewise.
How many aircraft did you lose compared to Pakistan????We know the power of PAF and saw their capabilities during Kargil..... no one can beat such power , whole India is still shivering after seeing such a powerful response by PAF
Obviously he was referring to your kind victim of some Bollywood masala....and desperate for some attention. .....else what kind of professionals talk in such language about an exercise."We are shaking the mountain " -- IAF chief after Gagan Shakthi
Now i can understand who he referred to
Yes.....you won....like you 1965 and had tea at lahore gymkhana. Like you won 2017 ICC final. Like tejas is the future aircraft like arjunk is a tank. Like you had laser weapons in Vedic times. I could go on but of course you are correct.....now go out grab a cow nd have something to drink. Milk or urine ... your choiceWe were more interested in winning the war .................... then counting the aircrafts
If that was the case then IAF wouldn't need to paint it's own wreckage in PAF colours.Sounds like an excuse anyways well fought PAF keep on fighting like 71 .... we are OK to be remained in fear
If that was the case then IAF wouldn't need to paint it's own wreckage in PAF colours.
Excuses are needed when you sit on the border for a year, lose close to 2000 men and then just withdraw.
What role did IAF exactly played in creation of Bangladesh when in two weeks of no stop air attacks on the PAF's Tezgaoun airfield in Dacca, it didn't manage to destroy even a single grounded Sabres.
Did we cross in 2001? Last time we crossed was in 71 and the world map changed
