Kargil was misadventure that Pakistan should not have done. How about Siachin, was that a misadventure too that India should not have done?

What is the difference between Siachin and Kargil, can you please explain?

It is easy to compare apples and oranges. Let us understand the situation better. In Siachen it was the army that occupied Siachen and the Indian government was explicit on this. It did not send soldiers disguised as rats to achieve its end goals.

Only difference is that, Indian political government handled the matter at international level in such a way that no international bodies forced india and thus Siachin is still with India. Whereas Pakistan political government of Nawaz handled the matter at international level in such a way that Pakistan was forced by international bodies to abandon Kargil … else both cases are ditto same.

I do not understand why the Pakistani political government did not handle the situation better. Was it a failure on its part. I do not think you can blame India for this. I do not want to go into the reasons on how NS was forced to run to Washington begging for a ceasefire. I hope know how difficult it was for NS to achieve what he did.

As far as Musharraf in show: I do not think there was anything wrong what he said or the way he said. Actually, it seems anchor was not prepared to get appropriate and logical reply to his questions, but when he got his surprise, he ended the interview.

For instance, when Anchor said that Pakistan returned mutilated bodies and that they should not have done all this mutilation, Musharraf rightly pointed out that it is untrue and fabrication of India that Pakistan gave them mutilated bodies. Musharraf also backed his answer with logic that anchor could not take and in the end anchor became rude.

Musharraf logic was that, why Pakistan would give India mutilated bodies so that India can use those bodies as propaganda? If bodies were mutilated then Pakistan would not have given those bodies to India, rather Pakistan would have destroyed them as they were not obliged to give those bodies to India. Thus, Pakistan giving those bodies to India in itself is prove that bodies were not mutilated by Pakistan, rather if bodies seen by Indian media were mutilated, then that mutilation must have got done by Indian armed forces (or Indian government) to get millage in their propaganda war with Pakistan.

The above logical answer that Musharraf gave was so convincing that Anchor got frustrated, did everything so that the message in the answer do not get across properly, and in the end, stopped the interview so that message in the answer stays vague for Indian public with low intelligence.

Let us understand this better shall we. I had asked a simple question for which you had no answer. The reason on why the Pakistani army went ahead and mutilated the bodies is very evident. Battles are won in the minds and not on the battlefields. Winning battles is all about motivating your army men to continue fighting even in the midst of extreme difficulties. I hope you remember your generals stating that one Pakistani army men was equal to 10 or more Indian army men when the Pakistani army was found to be outnumbered.
Here the thought process behind the mutilation and the torture was to show the Indian jawans that Pakistan does not honor Geneva conventions and would do everything possible to inflict the worst kind of tortures on any Indian jawan who is captured. This was a simple message that they wanted to send out.
