And Mushy is right, if you wanna talk about Kargil, talk about the root cause and talk about Siachen first. You cannot be selective about the topic and discuss it as an isolated issue.

Lastly, Mushy was right when he said that even though we have internal issue of terrorism which our Army is dealing with but India should not take it as our weakness because any misadventure from their side whether on LoC or elsewhere will be handled accordingly by Pak Army.

Let us analyze the interview objectively can we. I think Mush did not handle the interview very well. He was not his charismatic self.
We need to understand why the Kargil issue was raised. There were regular army soldiers as a part of this misadventure. Pakistan did not bother to claim the dead claiming that only Mujaheddin was involved. An army which does not honor its own dead cant be expected to respect the dead of its enemy. Can it.

Kargil was not about root causes. It was a misadventure period. There are root causes for everything. Was it right to dehumanize the soldiers as was done. That is the argument here. Also India has nothing to gain by starting another misadventure. Investment is at its peak and any tensions along the line of control would lead to these investments being taken elsewhere.

Also India is not a country where Army generals make their own decisions and decide to fire across the LOC or send disguised soldiers across the LOC.
