The frequent Attacks by terrorists in Kashmir even with high security not only shows India's vulnerability but also highlights lack of coherent strategy to deal with Pakistan.
# There has been no consistent Dialogue which has to continue even in hard times. India frequently calls off talk when there is an attack to foil talks. No matter what Dialogue has to go on to reach a credible end.
# There is no special forces in India like in Germany and UK to deal with such attacks. There have been 20 such attempts in last 2 years.
# India clearly lacks a Security Doctrine which guides a country to deal with such cases. This not only makes our security forces keep guessing what to do when it happens also encourages terrorists to keep striking.
# Lately on international forums India attempted to isolate Pak as rogue state. But there has been attempt by Pak to link Kashmir issue with this and internationalise it which India wants to deal bilaterally. This has confused other nations whether to support India or not.
# There has to be either Jaw-Jaw or War-war. But India is unable to consider which way to go. War is not an option.
Way forward
# India must Cholk out clear Security Doctrine and give a SOP to specific Security forces which has full permission to counter strike under such cases.
# India must decide whether it wants same old on-off on-off style talks or being a sensible country should call Pak for Talks and Stop not Till some concrete Decision is reached because terrorists are not going to stop.
# India on International forums should clearly spell Terror Attacks and Kashmir issue are two different things. India will deal Kashmir issue bilaterally and Should Ask other nations to support India on stand againsts Terrorism.
India with above steps can take the things forward. Blaming Pakistan after every attack and playing victim card is just not going to help India in any way.
