Part-2
Now Consequences world wide. This is something no body is talking about. But IMO India can not do anything before doing it's calculations on this point.
Assuming that world will not allow any war between 2 nuclear powers for more then 3 days. Immediately after we start CSD entire world(Only except Russia) will put sections on India and will do everything to push India to except cease fire.
Even If the world efforts doesn't payoff that simply mean India will have a huge economical disadvantages. Pakistan might not have that much as it any way have nothing. But all our investments, projects, FDI etc. will be gone. Trust me entire service sector will collapse if a single nuke hits any top cities.
Now objective... This is the tricky part.
As
jackprince said that instead of CSD we should go for entire POK. I don't think it is possible at all. It took us more than 2 months to take back Kargil (I am not sure but area was less then 500 sq Km) when entire world was favoring us. Now capturing GB with over 50K sq KM that too against entire world pressure will be just insane. I don't think we will have that capability in next 25 years.
So mean while we should discuss objectives of CSD vs Air strike.
CSD I am not clear but lets count...
Making Pakistan terrorist free... I will say impossible.
Making Pakistan terrorist free... Not impossible but too dangerous(Wo beth ke patte nahi khelege na)
Capturing prime targets like Hafiz Saeed, Dawood Ibrahim possible but for that going a full scale war not justified.
What else you decide!!
Air Strike
Simple just destroy 1 or 2 terrorist camp in POK and what happen afterwords.
1. This will send a strong message to Pakistan,
2. No action from world, may be strong words but no action.
3. No option for retaliation for Pakistan, doing anything stupid will convert into a full scale war. Also in that case world will not support them and push them to keep quite.
4. If they don't do anything that meaning terrorists will go against ISI and PA as in the case of TTP, because ISI is the one who is feeding these snakes.
5. More Govt. ISI and Army of Pakistan bashing, more destabilized Pakistan. More recruits for future RAW operations in Pakistan.
