Very well said, India overplayed their hand this time.
The worst decision they made was to suspend the indus water treaty which left a bad taste in peoples mouths as it is a form of collective punishment.
India also failed to read the room in regards to the growing donor fatigue and war weariness amongst its largest supporters traditionally in the west.
Drunk on it's own power and self confidence believing they had full control of the infosphere, this is where the underestimated that the days of spamming tweets to get political mileage is over, ask the Ukranians.
The west has it's own problems and so do the east. All they got in the end was a well meaning phone call saying 'learn to play nice.'.
Embarrassing, and amidst all this they have whipped their people into such a blood frenzy that without coming out of this in a position of strength will be a tremendous blow to the political clout of our neighbouring 56" chai Walla turned strongman.
