His solution to the problem is nothing but disaster. Grid based military deployment,with military force is deployed in number of small units across region,is the best for insurgent hit regions. This make sure that army dominate the region and also heavily restrict the mobility of insurgents.
The guy is proposing the concentration of force methodology with military concentrated in bases supplied though air, which itself is a defeatist deployment. Army is not fighting a conventional warfare and this will enable the insurgents to have greater freedom of operation and subsequent degradation of security situation.
Afghanistan is a good example for failure of this tactic. US and NATO forces always followed the concept of concentrated military bases with military supplied through air. At the end of the day, Taliban dominated the villages due to high mobility and managed to restrict the NATO mobility to a great extent.
Just compare the size of Afghanistan with kashmir valley and that too with south kashmir and you will get the correct answer.
this figure is wrong on two counts, forces casualties in September were 8 and not 88. Forces count includes army, RR, centra police forces and J&K police. Militant deaths in December were 40+ and overall 2018 count was north of 300

An excellent summation of what transpires in the Kashmir Valley. Much like the movie 'The Accidental Prime Minister', a must read for the general people to understand the problem of Kashmir. The author has nailed the situation aptly, by calling it a paradox. Without naming himself, he has said a lot indeed.
could u dumb it down ?
so many paradoxes , and sentiments ..
politicians - police - informers - civilians - terrorists >>> death
what are all the paradoxes ? between whom ?
It's self explanatory. Behind the hunting down of every Kashmiri terrorist lies a Kashmiri informer,a local policeman & a local politician waiting to milk the incident dry for political capital.
The article sheds light on the fact that while every terrorist killed is given a martyr's funeral, the Kashmiri victims of these very same terrorists are deemed collaborators in most cases & even if they aren't rarely attract the kind of attention and public displays of indignation & grief. Case in point - Shujaat Bukhari.
To conclude, the author points out the delicious irony where survivors of terrorist victims like Mirwaiz Umar Farooq & Shah Faisal, both of whose fathers were assassinated by Kashmiri terrorists have ended up backing the very ideology of their father's assassins.
Kashmir is in the grip of a very powerful mafia posing as a freedom struggle where any alternative viewpoint isn't tolerated but snuffed out. That's the gist of the article.
Sentiment denotes azad kashmir ?
Collaborators denote informers ?
Mafia controlled by politicians ?

Day After Killing of 3 LeT Militants, DGP Dilbagh Singh Declares Baramulla First 'Terrorist-free' Kashmir District
Srinagar: A day after security forces gunned down three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists during an encounter in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh on Thursday announced the district as terrorist-free.
“Yesterday’s operation in Baramulla district in which three militants were killed makes Baramulla the first district of Kashmir with no surviving militant, as on date,” ANI quoted Singh as saying.
On Wednesday, three terrorists – affiliated with proscribed outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and identified as Suhaib Farooq Akhoon, Mohsin Mushtaq Bhat and Nasir Ahmad Darzi – were neutralised during an encounter in Binner area of Baramulla. They were involved in several militancy-related cases in north Kashmir.
Situated on the bank of Jhelum river downstream from Srinagar, Baramulla district has been the hotbed for terrorist activities.
In 2018, encounters between security forces and terrorists were witnessed in 12 of the 22 districts of Jammu and Kashmir with Kupwara accounting for the highest number of terrorists (52) killed in such encounters.
Out of the total 256 militants killed in 2018, south Kashmir recorded the highest number of killings (127 terrorists) followed by north Kashmir (93 terrorists) and central Kashmir (24 terrorists). Nine terrorists were killed in Jammu region last year.
Shopian, considered the hub of terrorists in the Valley, saw the killing of 43 terrorists, he said.
Pulwama district of south Kashmir accounted for the killing of 39 terrorists followed by Anantnag which witnessed the death of 30 terrorists.
According to the police, the south Kashmir region comprising four districts of Shopian, Pulwama, Anantnag and Kulgam, is turning out to be a stronghold of militants.
South Kashmir was also the epicentre of the over five month-long unrest in the Valley in 2016 following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani.
The militants belonging to the Burhan Wani group and others and operated in the south Kashmir hills made videos of their activities from this part of the state, officials said.
The militant groups active in South Kahsmir region include Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Lasker-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohmmad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
The top terrorist commanders who emerged from this region are Burhan Wani, Zeenat Ul Islam, Al Badr commander Zeenat-ul Islam, Lateef Tiger and Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, the officials said.
