It is estimated that the total casualties of the Russia-Ukraine conflict have reached 1 million for each side. If an India-Pakistan conflict occurs at the same size and scale, and India's TFR were exactly at replacement, it would take 1,170 YEARS before it lost enough men to reach this figure.
If you conscripted every man in India between the ages of 20 and 24 and no one else, you would have to lose almost 2.4x as many men as both sides of WW2 before you lost them in the same amount of time.
Compared to a single country like the Soviet union, they would have to have sent 5x as many men to their deaths to lose as many as a single 4-year age group of Indians.
