There is one problem with the approach you wrote in the last line.
This gives the fanatics a chance to start nuclear war without getting
hold of actual nuclear weapons. Let's say we told them if one more
strike happens it will be all out war. whether we do it behind the
curtains or publicly have little bearing on the outcome. It is an
established fact that Pak army do not have full control over the fanatic
elements. It is an established fact that our security establishment is
not capable to pre-emptively stop the attacks. So when the next attack
comes the Indian govt have only one option of war left to them
irrespective of the fact that we are sure it was done by pak
establishment or it was a rogue attack. The ensuing war will go nuclear
in first week if NATO, China and Russia are not able to force both the
the countries down.
In case of nuclear Armageddon lets assume we kill 100% of Pak population and they are able to kill just 10% of ours. The outcome is our economy is devastated and the we become target of global Islamic fanatics. The problem of terrorism instead of being solved increases manifold for us.
In case we are forced to stop the war by 3rd parties, we end up failing our objective of starting the war,moreover the fanatics in Pak get the ammo to swell their ranks. So we end up increasing the threat of terrorism with lot of Indians dead and we end up under the heels of either NATO or China as a tool in their rivalry.
Hope now you understand why the successive govt even with vastly diff ideology (Cong vs BJP) end up doing the same things w.r.t. Pak. The only option at the moment to solve our problem is peace between the population of two nations

No one is saying that peace is not desired and the only way to have
peace between these two countries is through negotiation.
Unfortunately, these negotiations have been going on for the last 66
years without any positive and concrete results. As far as people being
killed, both countries are suffering due to violation and counter
violation on the LoC - Kashmir being a major political issue hanging in
the air. Per my opinion, there are three options open to India to solve
Kashmir problem; One being, accept LoC as the boundary between India
and Pakistan; secondly, a status quo and keep fighting via often
skirmishes on the LoC and the third one is all out war and winner takes
all. You have a very valid point about the destruction through the
usage of N-bombs. India has a declared policy of not using 'first' the
nuclear arsenal. However, if Pakistan uses it out of frustration,
Pakistan will be wiped off the map. I am not saying India will not face
destruction of property and human lives. But at least it will suffer
just once and then there will be a peace, no doubt at an extremely
higher cost. Other than the above cited three options, I do not see any
solution to the Kashmir issue, not at least in the foreseeable future.
Do you?
