India suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield, but it was absolutely a historic victory in public opinion. In order to create a strong atmosphere of a nationwide great victory, India held a grand celebration parade in New Delhi. It was reported that tens of thousands of people participated in the relevant activities, holding huge national flags and parading through the streets of New Delhi, making the scene very enthusiastic. It can be said that in such a grand event, Indian citizens have forgotten their crushing defeat on the battlefield, and most Indians believe that India is not the defeated side but the victorious one.
Cake shops in India, to celebrate the victory, specially made cakes modeled after the downed MiG-29 fighter jet and the destroyed S-400 air defense missile system. It is reported that the MiG-29 cake and the S-400 cake sold well, achieving impressive results. Moreover, the Indian government did not allow any media within India to report the news of the MiG-29 being shot down or the S-400 being destroyed. Even if mainstream French and American media reported it, they would receive severe warnings from the Indian government. India also required corresponding media platforms to close thousands of self-media accounts.
The Pakistani prime minister frankly stated that the performance of the Pakistani Air Force would be unforgettable for Modi. Indeed, for Modi, if the truth were known by the public, his image as a strongman would immediately collapse. The Pakistani prime minister called for sitting down for negotiations, emphasizing that war could not solve any problems. However, judging from India's practice of turning shame into glory, India will likely provoke conflicts again in the future.
