I mourn the death of our soldiers who are fighting there in really hard circumstances with their hands tied due to political agendas.
It is always easy to say ' kill those bastards ' or support the anger but what we really need is 'strategic plans'. Now that the dust has settled , I would like to put my thoughts on what should be done as 'short term' and ' long term'.
As famously said by some religious leader of Arab countries...'every country has military but in Pakistan , military has the country'.
Nothing to do with the people of Pakistan - People of Pakistan has understood a long back that ' a nation built on basis of nafrath ( hatred) would not survive for long'. Barring the fear to say it in open and minor % of people effected by extremist philosophy, average educated youth of Pakistan love India so much , It's music , Films, culture, unity etc . Even the celebs , cricketers etc from there carry a fake and false image of hating India and infact they love India so much which they reveal in candid interviews and private conversations.
Many uncontrolled local self declared parallel Govts there ruined it already. Stopping water or food supplies will make it more poor than it is already. No harm to terrorist groups there.
New strategy - From last few years terrorists organisations which work with support of Pak millitary and ISI adopted a new strategy of finding a vulnerable Kashmir 'local face' to just show case in front .
Where India failed - Not discussing Nehru's disastrous decisions in this regard as it would take long, India showing extra 'sahana sheelatha' , giving back lands captured in earlier wars ( Neither Pakistan gave back nor China gave back, it is just 'extra good' India did it ).
What we need to discuss is India's failure post 1990s after eruption of terrorism . India should have foreseen the vulnerability of the people there for manipulative 'brain wash' with violence provoking theories by wrongly translating sentences from holy books by saying ' if you do this you will go there ...-- are waiting for you there' . Counter philosophies and education to that intense brain wash should have been greatly rooted by now. Treating Kashmir separately played and is still playing a key role in all this. Once it is merged with India , it should be as equivalent as other states. People of all cultures should have gone there by now, build industries , should have created employment, syllabus of what rest of India study should have been there. With out stopping that 'vulnerability' we can not continue. At least in another 20- 25 years , that should happen by having majority mothers as Malalas and children growing up with larger vision with proper career orientation etc.
Very strategic in man power sourcing - These terrorist groups have many strategic ways to get continuous man power for various groups of them like sympathizers, supporters, financiers ,couriers , helpers, activists and terrorists by sowing seeds in sensitive areas in time of incidents. They sponsor or provoke religious riots in vulnerable areas. They pickup people from families who suffered in those ( In countries of huge population - many many great things would be happening in many corners and some bad will happen at few places but they will show and invoke hatred by showing only those few bad and these vulnerable start living a trans that only bad is happening against them all over by watching and listening videos/audios over and over again). After any terrorist attack or bomb blast , police will obviously catch many sympathizers whom they could track by their phone calls or internet history or donations or purchase history etc. To get the precise information on who is actually involved and executed , they will adapt their ways. These terrorist groups will identify such who can easily be manipulated and brought to their track and brain wash them. Such would again take part in something planned by these groups and few more families would become supporters . This is the continuous cycle they are enjoying. Govt should have better strategies in place to control this keeping aside the vote bank politics.
Media with foreign investments and hidden agenda - Telecasting ' my son is like this because of police'. Yes, police have taken such people who got funding out side state to pelt stones . Did Inquiry ( he will not tell if police offer him chai and biscuits and hence they will have to opt their ways ). Question to his father from many is ' what the hell were you doing when he was roaming with wrong groups ...when he was pelting stones, why did not you stop him? which resulted in him being taken by police '..you are responsible for this. Few traitors on the name of 'Liberals' ( for me 'Liberal' word is given to them by being too liberal) circulate false propaganda and try to create some ideological grounds or reason for violence . We are in democracy after all! . Military personal doing any wrong deeds might have happened in early 1990s with anger and outrage after Kashmiri pandits incidents. But for last 2 decades , military personal being sent to J&K are being highly groomed , trained to deal with people , they are very humble, first people to help people there in any circumstances. They are facing attacks , getting beaten but not using the guns on any general public in-spite of getting hurt.
Kashmir is India's integral part -If one goes back to 300 or 500 years of history , other historian can go to 2000 years to history to show that 'Jammu and Kashmir' is integral part of India. Forget all that unnecessary discussion , It was an autonomous state in British India and merged with India . That is it. Few people think of the idea of separate country. The moment it becomes ( in an imaginary scenario which would never happen according to me) , it would just go to the claws of Pak and China and would become nothing but 'a terrorist manufacturing and man power supply center' for terrorist groups. Anyway, keeping all that apart again, it is too important to India strategically to let it go. Hence once for all 'J&K is India's territory and will be , full and final'.
Revenge - It would be foolish to go for any attack without creating 'proper ground' especially now when all the forces are put at border in both sides. Bi-lateral damage is not a real win. As an example , as we just waited few days Israil came up saying ' we shall even take a part if India plans any attacks as they are completely justified ' , all major nations except China came up with a statement ' We are with India on any extreme steps it may take' Korea says ' if China comes to rescue Pakistan in case of any attacks from India' we shall attack China etc . Ground where we shall face no criticism should be there at-least to attack 'terrorist camps in POK' ( a direct war between two nations is unlikely).
Change should start within - There is nothing like the change that starts within in view of self retrospection and reforming things. That would bring fruitful results indeed.

Stopping the funding and Isolating it - Diplomatic ways are also very important . If we can really stop funding they are getting for all these and could get UN reforms done in such a way that Pak is compelled and is left with no option than to eradicate these cancers spread across it , it would be the real win.
