One can always hope.

Lots of pessimism/defeatism on these threads — and that’s a general comment, not something I’m saying specific to this India-China mess.

One thing I respect about the Indian Army is that they’ve to a large extent maintained their traditions from the days of the British Raj.

I would never count them out. They may not have done that well against China in 1962 but they rolled over the Pakis a few years later.

Yes they did roll over the Pakis.
In 1962, probably a combination of being ill-prepared & bad decision making due to socialist leadership - Nehru.

The US could roll over Canada ... India rolling over Pak is why they began a huge armament build up and stocked up on nukes
