Modi won, Modi lost

India attacked, Pakistan reciprocated

thus ensued four day war

both claimed victory

so then who gave up

the victims — civilians & soldiers — on both sides

they didn’t survive the bombings to lament their collapse

what about the war initiator, did he won or lost?

he won, he lost

it’s a contradictory equation

but then he himself is an antithetical charater

modi won because

he succeeded in creating more enmity between both countries’ people

Modi lost because Trump announced ceasefire between both countries

Modi felt super happy for the first one

Modi’s ego got bady hurt due to Trump
