> Attacking Pakistan over this also strengthens BJP’s hand and distracts everyone from the complaints that have been eroding their support, like ongoing corruption, high taxes with lower quality of life, etc. etc.

This won't last long, though. BJP lost the elections after Kargil War.

It never does, but Modi is a sly operator. He’s spent a lot of time under the Sword of Damocles and is still around.

While this was going on, it even seemed to distract folks in the office from the US H1B situation, which is something.

I suspect both sides will milk this for awhile.

India and Pakistan came to an agreement to stop firings. But pakistan breached it.

I don't think India wants to continue this for much longer.
