Their strategy is flawed, you offset numerical advantage by neutralising key pawns. You don't need assault rifles to do that. Kashmiri resistance's most dangerous enemy is not Indian Army, it is Kashmiri, Muslim collaborators who commit treason against the resistance and the people of Kashmir. If the Kashmiri resistance wants to win, they must remove 9 Kashmiri collaborators from the battlefield for every Indian occupation forces personale they remove.
Hindu high command thinks of their Muslim collaborators as "expendible", which means they ought to be the top priority because they're not well protected. Remove enough of them from the battlefield and the capability of Hindu high command to collect intelligence on the resistance will plummet. That will create more room for tactical operations against the Indian forces. They first need to be deprived of their intelligence network.
