Afghan proxies, if any of them are indeed our proxies as pakis seem to insist, seem to be the only real deterrence or punishment tool for India at this point.
Killing terrorists in Kashmir does nothing to the Pakistan Army or ISI, who are simply laughing from their messes looking at India vow "revenge" against jihadi cannon fodder.
Surgical strikes or Air strikes need to be against the Pakistan Army itself to have any significance, rather than terror camps. But this carries the risk of capture of our troops behind enemy lines, or even failure of mission. And frankly from what we're seeing of Indian Army tactics, I'm not sure of their ability to carry it out without casualties.
Afghan proxies are the only method which brings the advantage back to India, as it turns the Pakistanis' game around on its head. Their border is far more porous with Afghanistan than our LOC is with POK. The Afghans have far more freedom of action and local support and infrastructure in KPK than Kashmir oriented terrorists have in J&K. Both TTP and BLA have proven that they can impose far more casualties on Pakistani troops on a much more regular basis than Pakistani proxies can do to Indian troops in Kashmir. The Taliban's spectacular backstabbing of Pakistan has given India the proxy war edge for the first time.
Spend money in Afghanistan, let them do the work for us. Arrange for 10 fold attacks on Pakistani troops and infrastructure, whenever we face casualties in Kashmir. Bring the heat further into Punjab and Sindh. Time for more Atta diplomacy with Afghanistan.
