Exactly, India would not want to squander her development and the momentum she has financially and economically. War, regardless of its scale, has far reaching implications. The first would be a total drop in FDI, pulling of resources by international investors and conglomerates etc. and then comes the massive investment and diversion of deveopment funds to mobilization of military resources, stocking and restocking of ammo, Oil & armaments/spares etc. On top of it all there will be destruction on both sides and potential destabilization and internal conflicts gaining momentum too.India will not attack Pakistan unless there is some grave provocation. Even then we will not see an all out war. The reason is that India has a lot to lose in case of war, unless the political benefits of war outweigh the costs for the ruling party. Currently India has political stability and a certain economic momentum which it will be loathe to squander. Secondly, BJP and its allies do not see any major threat to their dominance nationally, regional complications notwithstanding. They are expected to win the next election, even if not by a thumping majority like last time. There is no need for a misadventure from the Indian side.
Chaos in other parts of the world is not a catalyst to trigger events here. The Ukraine war has already caused inflation in prices. Which other conflicts could cause further pain? To my mind any conflict that involves Iran or China as one of the parties. Iran for its oil supplies and China for so many other things. If these two regions go to war, developing countries will see further pressure on prices and supplies. In such a situation India going to war with Pakistan is highly unlikely, unless some Akhand Bharati type lunatics go full retard and see it as kamikaze opportunity.
But most importantly, Pakistan is a Nuclear Power and in the event where regional integrity of Pakistan is threatened, if it is at all possible, there can be no doubt that Pakistan will use Nuclear Weapons which would be devastating for both countries and the region for the next 100 years.
