One other thing that the massive rally achieved.. was that the Bogeyman Modi, fired a warning shot towards the Democrat biggies, to rein in their more radical candidates and Congressmen. Dems zeal to woo Muslim American voters, by dissing India, might backfire by turning a not minor section of Indian Americans who have traditionally voted for democrats; because Modi demonstrated that he has both the appeal and the power to do just that. And, the message would have been heard by the intended recipients..

Blacklisting mostly will not happen, all they need is 3 votes. They are to surely remain in the greylist for at least another year.
The Asian community really isn't that influential in the US. Indian-Americans especially aren't as powerful a voting block as you make them out to be. South Asians in general are a tiny fraction of the electorate and are divided along ethno-religious as well as generational lines defining voting tendencies. Even if every Indian-American voted Trump, it wouldn't change the overall outcome significantly. Indian-Americans do posses a lot of wealth which may be what he is after but even then.... it won't amount to much and can probably be replaced easily enough.
He is hyping it up so that he can sell the escape as a win for his diplomacy. We all know he is desperate for a diplomatic win - even a perceived one
The are a funding source worth courting. They can fund PACs and have a role in swinging key states. They matter in their own little way.
The number of muslim Americans and Indian Americans is pretty much the same,. And, it would matter in swing constituencies like Houston.. I am talking about appeasement politics w.r.t 2 communities which are around 1 percent of the total populace. So, the effort put in to appease Latinos or blacks will be much greater than either the appeasement towards muslims or Indian Americans. My point is only about balance here..
To be honest, while the money and votes are nice I think President Trump gains more from having a minority he can point to as being supportive of him. Are Indian-Americans a deciding factor in Houston?
Indian American voting pattern can be depicted as a 2 year old crayoning a wall. However the money is definitely there. Take a look at the fund raisers. They are raising a good amount. The money routed through other channels is even higher.

Agree, most ppl want pakistan on the mat but not push them out entirely. This situation benefits most their allies as such chances of them getting into blacklist is very less.
Kargil took us 2 months, 3 weeks and 2 days to win. The battle was fought on our territory with the air force on our side only involved.
You are talking about fighting inside other territory, against all their services. 4-5 days to win against pakistan is just not possible.
About us entering their space and destroying their fuel/ammo stores in case of full fledged war, they can do the same to us and slow our progress. Also, it is most likely going to become nuclear war in which case there will be massive damage on both the sides and the fighting will halt. If its only limited to conventional warfare and without involvement of China, then we will definitely win but it will definitely not take a few days. Will take weeks or months probably. War is not as easy as we are thinking sitting in front of laptops in our homes.
