Who's in Pak Punjab? How in the hell will I know who in Pak Punjab India can or will cultivate? I am not a spook. Not all those Pak Punjabis are terrorists. I said India can use Pushtuns and Balochis, DE asks me what grievances would India exploit in Pak Punjab. Is that even a question to ask?

We got an opportunity in '69 where the results of the election were annulled because a Bong was deemed unsuitable to rule over Punjabis. This created a ready bed of resentment that coalesced around a leader. Mujib. Once we toppled the govt, he moved in. Succession, everything all sorted. No occupation. VFM solution. Redrew the map regardless of what the world thought.
Pak Punjab is the hotbed of terrorism in Pakistan. India should use the Pushtuns and the Balochis or other mercenaries available for hire to tear apart Pakistan. Our grievances are Pakistan sponsored terrorism, it is not region specific, and we should use Pakistani fault lines wherever & whenever we get the opportunity.
A policy that makes the PA bankrupt itself ? when we start to read articles in the Pak press questioning why the PA gets such a large share of the budget then we are making progress. This is a long game though.
Cold start made the Paks develop tactical nukes. Those aren't cheap. If we give them the impression we are changing doctrine then they will need more. So we have to spook them now & then.
On a different note, India should create opportunities inside Pakistan. What good is the economy, if we can't hit them hard every time there is a terrorist attack.
It's funny, Balakote happened end Feb this year, which makes it just only 4 months ago, yet it feels to me anyway that much more time has passed. They will let the govt settle in some more and hit us again.
