What should India do next
As an Indian I was of the opinion that India should do a military strike.
However as we have seen in case of Afghanistan and Iraq not even US is able to control these areas. India will only end up hurting itself, its soldiers and its economy
The army's are equally balanced not to say about Nuclear weapons. In a short war, there will be equal losses and long war no one can afford with Nuclear weapons. Is there any logic fighting a mad dog with your bare hands ?
Pakistan is fighting a low cost war by having Muslim fundamentalist. India is fighting back with expensive army in Kashmir. India cannot play the low cost game, it should force Pakistan to play the high stake game
Solution: Economic war.
1. Army on Border:
Make Indian Army on high alert on Border for next 2 years. Let Pakistan retaliate. What is a Billion Dollar a month from a Foreign reserve of $200B. Let Pakistan match this for a $7.5Billion loan from IMF
2. Unilateral Economic Tax
Every business entity doing business in Pakistan will be taxed at an extra 50% for doing business in India. Do not let the FDI get away but make it uncompetitive for them to do business in Pakistan and India.
Tell Unilever to get out of Pakistan or pay an extra 50% in the FMCG products.
Let Indian merchant know that Chinese products will un-patriotic as they support Pakistan and hence will be taxed extra. Thailand and Vietnam products can be tax free.
3. Subsidies products:
What ever Pakistan produces, let it not find an over-seas market as India will sell at a cheaper rates.
4. Invest in Infra:
Build road, airports, etc to match the dip in economy. Make it so easy for Forign companies to invest and make money in India that they will not even think of Pakistan.
