Question

In monetary terms, the war is bleeding India and Pakistan dry​

Answer 1

Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts is a military doctrine followed by the Pakistani military against India after the 1971 war in which India allied with the Soviet Union interfered in a civil war in Pakistan which resulted in the separation of the entire Eastern wing from Pakistan. The doctrine consists of waging a covert war against India using insurgents at multiple locations. According to scholar Aparna Pande, this view was put forward in various studies by the Pakistani military, particularly in its Staff College, Quetta. Peter Chalk and Christine Fair cite the former director of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) explicating the strategy.
