I am resisting the idea of an Indian 'False Flag'. This attack does a major dent to what the Modi govt has been trying to do in Indian Occupied Kashmir: Incentivizing non-Kashmiris to move to IoK, improving the economy if IoK by bringing more tourists, displaying an image of 'success' after removing Article 370, allowing 'democratic' elections in IoK to prove India's democratic credentials to the world.
All those are majorly dented.
There might be another strategic calculation, I am not concluding anything here, just offering another angle
from another post
Indeed, it's a proper tangle
Tldr: Pakistan will be used to delay or avoid China confrontation
At this current moment even before this tragic event , the USA is forcing the world to choose between China or USA, going in that direction
India was suggesting it might open up to china a bit, it might therefore suggest that if India needs serious commitment on china it needs something on Pakistan first
It may attempt to sweeten china a bit by suggesting some solidarity on the tariff war front....after all the trade volume acts as a barrier to serious conflict
It's all aimed at Pakistan, bring heat there to take heat off india.... maybe
