I think you misunderstood. I am not talking about Indian army but about Paksitani army. They do subscribe to the logic of communities and religion (and even caste). Had they surrendered to a Tamilian or somebody from South in 1971 we might have broken their H&D. They have used their Lahori Logic...

Satyamev Jayate = Truth Always Wins

Sat Sri Akal = Supreme Truth is the Akal (omnipresent, never ending/beginning) that is in you.

Namaste = The True god in me Salutes the True God in you.
