Pakistani army will never forget the debacle of '71 which was an utter humiliation.
They then used the Saudi and US money to train Mujahideen in the 80's for use in Afghanistan against the Soviets and then when things died down there these attack dogs were pointed in out direction.
But they are a nuclear state and with China protecting the CPEC which is utterly necessary for them keeping in mind all Chinese oil has to pass by the Andamans now I don't see any hope for war.This might be an unpopular opinion in this environment of frustration but nuclear war is a zero sum game.
I cannot urge Indian soldiers to go die in a war from the safety of sitting in front of a keyboard(Although thats kaput in case of MAD-Mutually Assured Destruction).
We ought to have steamrolled past Lahore in '71 but US and Russia (mainly Russians) told us to back off. Russia had stuck it neck far out so far as to openly challenge the US 7th fleet with submarines but even their support had limitations in front of madman Nixon.
The problem with India is that we are not a country historically but rather a collection of states.
India as a concept was built by Ashok, Akbar and then the British.
Now if some state feels that they're better off without India it opens up a Pandora's box. If we let Kashmir go (TBH its not worth the trouble keeping in mind it has nothing of value to offer) then what is to stop Punjab(Khalistan)/Tamil Nadu/Maharashtra from deciding that they're better off on their own.
No one has ever managed to win an insurgency be it US in Vietnam,Soviets in Afghanistan and US again in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now US is opening peace talks with the Taliban....We Don't Negotiate With Terrorists
So nothing short of a ethnic cleansing is a strategic solution for Kashmir. The only solution to stop this cycle of violence from our end and then theirs in my opinion is a ethnic dilution program i.e.
1) Relocate the Kashmiris in every other state of India and give them remittance so that they an start off anew. Keeping in mind the military expenditure we have to currently allocate for Kashmiri pacification that should not be a massive hit to the government exchequer .
2) Kasmiris should not be bunched at all but spread out as much as possible so that they assimilate with the local populace.
3) Once they have access to the Indian style opportunities outside Kashmir sans the military presence they will have much more to lose and then hopefully they'll come to their senses that its much more beneficial to be in India rather than a wedge between India and Pakistan.
