I thought India withdrew after the lesson was taught. Kind of like why we didn't take Baghdad in the Gulf war.

Nope

Pakis fought them to a draw in the west in 71

A large percentage of the Indian military was being employed in what is now Bangladesh

Most of the Indian armored forces were in the west however.

Logistics stopped the Indians as much as casualties. They couldn't have sustained a drive into Pakistan even if they'd had Desert Storm like success

In training and equipment Indians and Paks are pretty evenly matched.

Indians have the numbers though
