watch that Turkic invasions series with Kushal Mehra and Abhijit MitraHistorically, we've been a bunch of softies. Hindu kings never went on the offensive and ended up loosing land to the Islamic hordes of Central Asia & Gulf primarily due to their defensive approach and appeasement policies and the current establishment isn't any different.
We're ok with loosing tens of thousands of soldiers over a decade to keep the status quo intact but loosing a few hundred or couple of thousand men over a short span for strategic gains would create chaos in the masses and the possibility of their govt being toppled
We make the same mistakes today....a good fighter is the one who leverages his strength over weaknesses in combat...for us, our stupid shit got us into being defeated. Just watch this, it's good, it's something I watched back in lockdown and that got me introduced to these two, I might not agree with everything they say but their anthropological approach...this deserves a book or documentary of it's own
