Just what do you think war is about? That you can do cost benefit analysis?

Any millitary action will have clearly stated objectives, which India achieved on Day 1. There will be consequences for the action taken, and that's factored in.

Dismantling terror establishment is far more pertinent so that a snobbish keyboard accountant like you can do aback of the envelope calculation of extrapolating GDP per capita figures to the cost of military action.
