The domestically-influential right wing media in India has indulged it into a frenzied jingoism post Pulwama that no responsible mainstream media of a modern nation ought to do. One specifically deplorable part of their war-mongering is that election-time agendas and bias towards Modi are written all over it. Indian media is trying their best to undermine whatever good gesture Imran Khan made by returning the captured Indian pilot and endeavouring to de-escalate. What the war-mongering hawks in the Indian establishment and media don’t realize is that India can’t win decisively in the Indo-Pak battle front as it stands today. Even the much talked about “cold start” tactic of the Indian forces may not work, as Pakistanis already know about it and, presumably, have prepared plans to counter it.
