Serious question though: is this a distraction/ way to compensate from the FATF grey list or the fact that US has asked both sides to calm down for a while, so the Kashmir rhetoric might stop for a while?
Every government does this trick and the gullible public falls for it.

If you breed a warmonger 'Murican republican, a Hindutva, a undercover Hitler/Nazi supporter and the iconic Wal-Mart red-neck Karen; age it until it becomes a boomer = then you have this 'thing' called Christine Flair
Btw here is she casually advocating terrorist bombing on civilian targets meanwhile boomer Hindutva uncles share a laugh:

India is frothing at the mouth with Jingoism.
Chinese and North Korea "support" for their Military is likely "insisted upon" aka force. Indians genuinely screech in support for their Army.

India's interest in its military is not a patch on Pakistan's obsession with its military. Which explains why Pakistanis have been taken for a ride for decades, while Indians haven't

In a show of goodwill, we should have sent a deg of chai to India on this auspicious day. I think it would do wonders in our relations.

the largest importer of weapons from 1990-2019 and you say your not obsessed with your armed forces..lol..
Yes we are obsessed with our military and there are reasons for it. When you have a neighbour who is seven times larger than you that threatens to destroy you, yes you do get obsessed with defending yourself.

I mean the people of the country's obsession. Under Modi, there has been a dangerous push to promote the heroics of the military among civilians. We've also had senior military folk commenting for the first time in history on political and other matters.
This wasn't the case earlier. No one really bothered or cared if an Army truck was on the road or if a group of cadets were dining at a restaurant you were in. The girls around would max admire their smart uniforms and appearance and that's about it.
My ex-gf's Dad was a retired Wg Cdr who flew a couple missions during Longewala. I never felt any pressure to acknowledge his greatness or something and would show my boredom if he brought up some war stories. It wasn't done to insult him or something. It's just the thinking back then. In fact, I had to text her recently to ask which Chakra he was awarded for his efforts as none of us cared about it back then. The same applies to family members who were/are in the military. You'll hardly see the older officers talking military stuff in a civilian setting because they know the rest of us don't care. But recently some BJP loving uncle of mine threw an 'acknowledgement party' for this colonel cousin of his on his 50th or 60th birthday
)Having said all that, the current love for the military in India - like most things among Modi fans - is fake love and social media love. All it will take is the military to oppose something about Modi and it will flip. I've already seen that with farmers who used to be the BJP supporters' favorites at one point in time

Pakistan marks four years since Operation Swift Retort

Pakistan will mark the fourth anniversary of Operation Swift Retort on Monday (today).
On Feb 27, 2019, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had shot down two Indian planes that had violated Pakistani airspace. One of the Indian pilots was captured by Pakistan, but was later handed over to New Delhi as a gesture of peace.
The botched attempt to strike deep inside Pakistan following a false-flag operation at Pulwama on Feb 14, 2019, established the military and technological superiority of the PAF and shattered to pieces the myth of Indian military might.
