A similar response was expected by Pakistan after the Uri attack. But, under pressure after the killing of 19 soldiers - mostly in their sleep - in their camp, and having conducted a cross-border operation in Myanmar in 2015, the Modi government and the Indian Army prepared for something bigger.
The surgical strike stunned Pakistan. Before it could understand what happened in its own backyard, the Indian Army's special commandos had come back to their side of the LoC by the daybreak on September 29. Pakistan was under pressure to respond but that could have meant serious escalation at LoC and possibly along the border.
SANCTITY OF LoC UNDER QUESTION
Ever since the first ceasefire between India and Pakistan in 1948, the Line of Control (LoC) has functioned practically as international border. Several experts have suggested that the LoC should be converted into permanent border between India and Pakistan, and accept division of Jammu and Kashmir to bring peace in the Valley.
Its sanctity was maintained during 1965 and also during 1971 war. Even during the 1999 Kargil war, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government had made it clear to the Indian Army that the soldiers must not cross the LoC even though Pakistan Army had violated the 1948-agreement.
With surgical strike of 2016, the Narendra Modi government made a bold statement that the LoC will not be the permanent divide line between India and Pakistan. PM Modi had already made references to people living in PoK including Gilgit and Baltistan.
The RSS and BJP have been strong votaries of negotiation for taking back PoK. Though this does not seem a possibility in some time to come, the surgical strike has widened the scope for future negotiations over PoK.
ISOLATION OF PAKISTAN
The Modi government, deviating from the past practice, publicly owned up crossing the LoC and carrying out the surgical strike in PoK. Smarting under the assault, Pakistan, on the other hand, issued a nervous denial. The denial was aimed at handling domestic pressure on the Army and the Nawaz Sharif government.
As India asserted its right to act in national interest, the world maintained a stoic silence over the entire episode. Having had conducted a similar stealth operation in Pakistan itself, the US was not expected to criticise India. Other countries including China did not back Pakistan.
One year later, when India exposed Pakistan's doublespeak on terrorism at the UNGA, China, though unhappy with New Delhi's tone and tenor, admitted that its "all-weather friend" encouraged terrorism.
MORALE OF INDIAN ARMY
The two surgical strikes in two years - Myanmar and PoK, (now three with the second one in Myanmar this week) with the full backing of the central government, the Indian Army's morale is high.
The surgical strike in PoK saw a surge in the respect for Indian Army. The astute planning of the surgical strike and professional execution of the plan enhanced the positive public opinion about the Indian Army. This, in turn, served as morale booster for the soldiers.
Experts have said that the surgical strikes had been planned even before 2016 but they were limited to border posts as the previous governments denied the permission to cross the LoC into what is called behind the enemy lines.
This time, the government approved of the cross-LoC operation planned by the Northern Command. The Indian Army has since looked more confident in handling difficult situations. The Doklam standoff, which lasted for over 70 days, is a testimony to Indian Army's high morale.
New details emerging from China suggest that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had mobilised more than 3,500 troops at Doklam. The earlier reports put the number of troops at around 300-400.
The Indian Army had deployed around 350 soldiers. But, the Army held its ground despite heavy build up on the other side. The Chinese pressure tactic failed in the face of high morale of the Indian soldiers and it had a lot to do with the surgical strike in Po
