Summary :
1. Pakistan's military capabilities are not conventionally inferior to India and it has full support from China. Pakistan is not deterred by India's numerical and economic superiority.
2. It is wishful thinking that Pakistan will collapse due to economic problems or internal insurgencies in Baluchistan or KP.
3. Poor geo-strategic perception, and wrong diplomatic policy has left India in a bind with few diplomatic options.
4. The "new normal" post-Operation Sindoor has lowered the threshold of war; a next more prolonged and far more devastating war is highly likely, if not inevitable . Pakistan is far more prepared for the next round and Operation Sindoor has exposed the limitations of the Indian Air Force and armed forces in general,
5. India has severe internal issues; political, economic and security and it can't launch and sustain wars to assert its hegemony in the region l
6. The solution: Acknowledge China as the leader of the Giobal South, and use China's support to reach out to Pakistan for a comprehensive dialogue and solution. A long term peace after resolution of issues with Pakistan will give India the opportunity to resolve its internal security issues, build a truly inclusive, and united India and concentrate on the economy and welfare of its population.
7. The overall picture however is pessimistic as the current political establishment juxtaposes the tensions with Pakistan to keep India in a state of constant conflict within, with its own people,
