There has to be an cost. People are screaming for war. But, with what objective?
1. Will a war stop Pakistan from sending jihadis?
2. Will it stop giving them protection?
3. Will it result in any advancement of goals?
4. What is our long term objective?
5. What is a cost, which makes life miserable for the opponent?
Answers
1. No
2. No
3. This depends on our long term objective.
4. Reclaiming of Jammu & Kashmir, including territory from China.
5. This cost has to be borne by the PA and the political establishment. The people of Pakistan will be collateral damage. The quicker we come to this realisation, that there will be collateral damage the more efficient will be our response.
I would recommend going for a slicing strategy across PoK, starting from southern areas, north west of Jammu. Specifically, the Mangla dam area, Mirpur district. This dam controls the irrigation to a lot of the Pak projects. In the first move, bring this area under our control. Do not escalate it to other areas, unless Pak decides. Once occupied, do not return the area and claim as our own.
Once achieved, this brings the tiny finger area which portrudes into India, north of Jammu into picture. Capture of this area will reduce the ability to PA to target Jammu.
This will ensure, we are not crossing the IB, yet taking back territory. It also creates a rupture in the belief of the Pak occupied Kashmiris, the PA cannot defend them. Allow existing residents to exit over to other parts of PoK and re-populate the area with Kashmiri Pandits.
