LOL... India is the only country in the world who could kid itself with the media. This is the Jai Hind mentality.I think that is a good deal for everyone, India wins in the Media and China wins in real life.
After losing two jets to Pakistan in 2019. Indian media declares one mig 21 loss for the price of one F-16. So it's a 'victory' and Abhinandan is a national hero! Jai Hind!
After losing 20 Jawans, 1 SFF, and Aksai Chin to China. Indian media said Indian troops killed 100 Chinese troops. So its another 'victory' for India. Jai Hind!
India, like America and Israel is a nation that is addicted to war. Indian media acts more like a wartime media than a normal one. They are obsessed with presenting victories, no matter how insignificant or ludicrous. The Bhakts and Jai Hinds always love their warstories. Ex-military men and former ministers like to go on air to talk about India's greatness at warfare. But unlike US and Israel, India's military industrial complex is insignificant in the world stage. Less significant than even South Korea's. More importantly, India's military competence is nothing like the US and Israel.
If its not hot war, then India wants to get into a cold war. Who better than with China, the 'inferior' communist neighbour. Everything China does good. India must announce that India will also do it, and do it better. Everything China does poorly, India would laugh and humiliate China. Lastly, India must make sure to boycott everything Chinese. But yet again, India's incompetence gets exposed. It does not have the economy, innovation, and know-how to pull off this Cold War with China. But what matters to India is: Jai Hind!
India is obsessed with the slogan of 'Jai Hind'. As if everything it does is victory. When China and other successful East Asian do something, they prefer to shout 'Jia You', or 'Gambateh' which roughly means add more effort. Indians think about the victory endgame, while the Chinese and Japanese think about the journey to victory. The problem with'Jai Hind' is that if there is failure, that becomes 'victory' instead of "we need to do better". This is most probably why India continues to screw things up.
So when Jawan suffers from the cold in Ladakh. They scream 'Jai Hind!' and then it's now victory, not suffering. Then they probably wonder, if this is how victory looks like. When PLA troops suffer from the cold. They scream 'Jia You!'. Then they know its time to get to work.
