"We have been doing this dirty work for ..... three decades" -- Pakistan left red-faced :::: Bharat has much higher defence capabilities and greater numbers to take on its 'western neighbour'

A 'forever' war between India and Pakistan reignited !! 

A series of meetings took place at the top level. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi more than during the last four-five days. 

Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi visited Srinagar and Udhampur and took stock of the situation. 

Now in terms of preparedness and strengths and weaknesses between both India and Pakistan.

Bharat has an active troop strength of 12 lakh officials and personnel. 

**Pakistan has about 5 lakh officers and personnel

*** 1.5 lakh active air force personnel with India and Pakistan has only 70,000.

Indian naval strength is 75,000 where as Pakistan has about 30,000  

India has about 3740 total battle tanks, Pakistan has about 2500

Reports say Pakistani army is moving its radar systems to forward locations in the Sialkot sector to detect possible Indian airstrikes. 

Electronic warfare detachments of the Pakistani army are also being deployed to forward locations to detect Indian movements opposite the Ferozepur sector. 

In terms of combat capabilities / fighter jets -- India has 730 of them while Pakistan has only 450.  

Security agencies have launched a massive anti-terror operation across the state, executing coordinated raids, detaining hundreds of suspects and terror sympathisers, as they search for the perpetrators of the Pahalgam carnage, which also involved a local terrorist. Authorities have also destroyed several homes of active terrorists in the valley as the crackdown intensifies. 

Pakistan has been left red-faced after its defence minister made a striking admission regarding their involvement with terrorist groups.

"We have been doing this dirty work for United States for 3 decades," said Khwaja Asif when questioned about Pakistan's role.

The Pahalgam attack has changed the game in more ways than one.  Bharat, that is India, of the Hindu majority -- has learnt lessons from the trauma and bitterness of the past.  

It goes without stating that India's "past" continues to reverberate in its defence, strategic and foreign policies.  In circa 2025; Muslims may be of very much relevance for India. But Pakistan is not. 

The real issue is -- how could a rising India interact vis-a-vis its battle against terrorism with the rest of the world.
