00:00again from this so-called misadventure. Spoiler alert, absolutely nothing. Zilch, nada. The only
00:07winner here is Surrenderer Modi's BJP, which got a temporary boost by whipping up anti-Muslim and
00:13anti-Pakistan frenzy. It's like they threw a party for hate and called it patriotism.
00:19But here's the thing. Those popularity points are about as lasting as a cheap firecracker.
00:25The losses India racked up are about to hit the public like a monsoon flood and Modi's hero halo
00:33is going to rust faster than you can say saffron. The Indian public will soon wake up to the mess
00:39their leaders made and it won't be pretty. Now let's talk about the real damage,
00:46because Pakistan didn't just poke India, it landed a knockout punch. According to reports circulating
00:53on social media and backed by Reuters, Pakistan's military turned India's defence into a punching bag.
01:00Five fighter jets, including India's shiny Rafales, were shot down in the first phase alone. A brigade
01:07headquarters and a battalion headquarters were reduced to rubble. 77 drones, yes you heard that
01:14right, were hunted down like flies. And here's the kicker. India's $1.5 billion S-400 air defence
01:23system, the one they bragged about as untouchable, was turned into expensive scrap metal. That's not
01:29just a loss, it's a national embarrassment. Imagine buying a Ferrari and then watching it get totaled
01:35by a scooter. That's India's S-400 right now. But wait, there's more. Pakistan didn't stop at the S-400.
01:43They went on a rampage, obliterating key Indian military sites, artillery gun positions at Drangyari,
01:51a field supply depot in Uri, Udhumpur Air Base, a Brahmos battery site in Nagrota,
01:57Pathankot Airfield, a Brahmos missile storage site in Bees, Airfield Adampur, and even Air Base
02:04Buj were all wiped out. This wasn't a skirmish, it was a demolition derby, and India was the rusty old
02:12car. By the morning of May 10th, India's defence was a sitting duck. No operational air bases,
02:21no functioning S-400, and their prized Brahmos missiles reduced to ashes. Pakistan could have
02:29kept swinging, but they chose restraint, showing a level of maturity that India could only dream of.
02:36Trump's ceasefire call was a lifeline India didn't deserve, but desperately needed.
02:44Let's talk about how this all went down diplomatically. While India's media spun tales
02:50of Pakistan begging for mercy, the reality was the opposite. Indian officials were on their knees,
02:57pleading with Saudi Arabia and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for a ceasefire.
03:04Reuters reported on May 11th that India's Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri, was quick to accuse Pakistan
03:11of violating the ceasefire, but Pakistan's foreign ministry calmly denied it, saying they were committed
03:18to peace. Meanwhile, Indian media churned out fake narratives faster than a Bollywood scriptwriter.
03:26It's like they thought shouting Pakistan begged loud enough would make it true.
03:31Sorry India, but the world knows who was banging and who was begging.
03:37Now let's get to the intangible losses, the ones that sting even worse. India's dream of being a global
03:44superpower, shattered, its illusion of military might, exposed as a mirage.
03:51The Indian Express reported on May 10th that explosions rocked Srinagar, with local official
03:56Omar Abdullah tweeting, What the hell just happened? That's not the sound of a superpower. That's the
04:03sound of a nation in denial. India's media, already on shaky ground, lost whatever credibility it had left.
04:11They're not just a news outlet anymore, they're a lie factory working over time. And the economic hit?
04:18Reuters noted that 83 billion dollars was wiped from Indian equities in just two days of conflict.
04:26That's not pocket change, that's a national disaster.
04:31India didn't just humiliate itself, it dragged its allies down too. France, which supplied those
04:39Rafales, and Israel, which hyped up the Harrop drones, are probably rethinking their deals with New Delhi.
04:48Getting their tech marvels shot down by Pakistan, a country India loves to call cash strapped,
04:55is a slap in the face. And speaking of slaps, the IMF approved Pakistan's loan request right in the
05:02middle of this mess. Giving India a diplomatic middle finger. While India was busy convincing
05:08the world that Pakistan harbors terrorists, the global financial community was like,
05:14yeah, we'll take Pakistan's side, thanks.
05:19The psychological toll is the cherry on this disaster Sunday. India's in a state of denial so deep it could
05:26star in a therapy session. The government's telling its people, nothing happened, move along while the
05:32world laughs. Modi must be sweating bullets, watching his strongman image crumble. India lost
05:38militarily, diplomatically and economically. And the worst part? They did it to themselves.
05:45It's like India walked into a boxing ring, swung at the air and knocked itself out.
05:51The Washington Post summed it up on May 11.
05:54The sudden announcement of a US brokered ceasefire followed four days of steady escalation between
05:59India and Pakistan and mixed signals from Washington. Mixed signals? More like India
06:06misreading every signal and tripping over its own ego. So, what's the lesson here? India needs to stop
06:16lying to its people and the world. You can't fake your way into the heavyweight category when you're
06:23punching like a featherweight. Pakistan, a country India loves to mock as small and broke, just
06:29handed them the humiliation of the century. It's like a kid with a slingshot taking down a bully who
06:35bragged about his shiny new armour. India's not a superpower. It's a cautionary tale. And the saddest
06:42part? The Indian public is still being fed fairy tales about victory while their country picks up the pieces.
06:48This whole fiasco reminds me of a guy I knew who bought a fancy suit to impress everyone at a party,
06:56only to trip and spill ketchup all over it. That's India right now, dressed up as a superpower but covered
07:04in stains. The world's watching and they're not impressed. Pakistan showed restraint, Trump threw a
07:11lifeline, and India's left licking its wounds pretending it's fine. Spoiler, it's not. The combined death toll from
07:19this skirmish hit nearly seventy, according to Reuters. And for what? Nothing but Modi's ego and a few weeks of BJP cheers.
07:28If India wants to avoid being the world's laughing stock, it needs to take a hard look in the mirror. Stop hyping yourself up as
07:35something you're not. You got snubbed by a smaller, scrappier neighbour, and the scoreboard doesn't lie.
07:42Maybe next time, try talking instead of flexing, because this flex turned into a flop. And to my Indian
07:50viewers, I'm not here to offend you, but come on, your leader sold you a dream and delivered a nightmare.
07:56Demand better.
