If not India, then who? I would imagine that India would be the first and greatest benefactor out of weakened/destabilized Pakistan.
Between Iran and India, Pakistani Army is the strongest force at this time. And only the most powerful in this region will be the sole negotiator when oil comes from the Caspian Sea to the Arabian Sea. So if Pakistan becomes weak/broken, upper region will be controlled by the Mullahs of Northern Afghanistan, that can be bought very cheaply by the Americans. The lower region in and around Baluchistan, will be jointly and indirectly controlled by the Americans and Indians. USA wins.
As for India, a lost/broken Pakistan will pave nice, smoothened roads for emboldened insurgents to Kashmir. Not a complete win for India here either.
As for China, it will have access to gas and oil through its western borders. And if the Democrats stay in power for another term, it won't be surprising to see a US-China alliance.
Not a loss for India, but no big win either.
