No sane person in india wants pok, it's filled with pisslamist pakjabis and like a million terrorists. Our goal should be to be hold as much of unpopulated area and high points in the region.
The most realistic question, no one has answered it and no one will.
Everything can be achieved if you're at the right time in the right place. Expelling 5.5 million vs nearly 20 million possibly more exchanging countries with nearly 1-2 million deaths during partition especially when you consider the fact that both Punjabs were totally cleansed of its minorities.
Salami slicing over next few decades like China..Thatshow!!
If we get a ww3 level conflict, I'm sure we will be able to send pakjabi packing to "la whore" but that is very farfetched idea.
That time is fast approaching but I doubt we'd be able to capitalise on it. We'd have other bigger problems to attend to . However if we emerge relatively unscathed , we'd get the opportunity to do exactly that , for the new world order isn't going to be anything like we're seeing today.
Our fauj rn, can't fight a 2 front war, no matter what we pretend. We can take on Pakistan alone fairly easily but China getting involved will throw our leadership off balance. Himalayas is literally our best line of defense against chinks and the fact that our population and logistics centers are close to front with china than vice-versa.
to threaten them enough to the point where general pop will be forced to move will require absolutely massive scale invasion , practically unlimited ammo, huge amounts of missiles, equipment and troops to fight in mountains. and most of important point, air superiority, and you know state of our Air force atm. it is going to extremely difficult to advance in those mountains without air support, offensive into more populated area (ajk) will slow down our forces significantly.
It was the 50s, world order didn't exist than. Something like a mass scale exodus or genocide is not happening ever again, at least not in Indian subcontinent. Our own courts, janata and military will oppose it.
Salami slicing with over 3 million peope residing in Gligit Balistan who will refuse to move.
In 1965 war in Jammu sector lakhs of people ran away after Pakistani Army pushed India back.
parts of POK can be taken but many parts of it are gone forever due to simply being too demographically disadvantageous for us, if UN tries to force an referendum , we would be trouble. better to take over vantages points and strategic locations and many uninhabited areas.
Million lakhs isn't all is it?
The ideal way is to do it by salami slicing by using artillery.
There'd be a WW but unlike the previous two this would involve multiple players in multiple theaters , where one theatre wouldn't necessarily see the same dramitis personae as the others.
All good things to those who wait.
