Nah it doesn't work that way.
Its a proxy war.
Not a Kargil type situation.
India will not risk depleting its coffers for these type of attacks.
Doesn't mean these accusations are false.
Internationally designated terrorists are roaming around free in Pakistan. Masoor Azhad was bloody freed after a plane hijack and yet China asks for more proof.
It's a farce.
But I suppose there might come a time when proxy wars are one too many and India just goes to war though I personally hope that never happens.

USA analogy isn't applicable here because they have never been in a situation with hostile neighbours attacking them. Their fight with Afghanistan and Iraq have impacted their economy a lot.
The fact of the matter is simple:
1. Pakistan wants Kashmir. It doesn't have the legal standing or military might or international clout to get it on its own. So they resort to proxy wars.
2. India is happy wih status quo. But we are a corrupt nation at the end of the day. Intelligence lapses happen and even negligence is possible at some level if the right official is paid money. Not saying it happened here but I won't rule it out. My father has headed companies and has dealt with national level politicians. A supremely famous BJP politician tried to make money by procuring inferior clothing for armymen. Thankfully the deal didn't go through with NDA government falling in 2004.
All in all....India has its issues. But its also true that Pak is sponsoring terrorism in kashmir cos they have no other option to getting Kashmir.
Just because we have issues on our side doesn't mean we shouldn't point fingers at Pak. They will continue to do what they can. India has to make do with what it has and deal with the situation.
