Indian army can take care of the locals. One of the reasons why GOi went ahead with 370 was the timing of Imran and Trump meeting. India learned their lesson after the last Afghan war where jihadis were diverted like cattle into India after the Soviet war. The remnants of those actions are seen even now. Once America leaves Afg, Pak would do the same thing again and that's what forced India's hand among other things. India wanted to control the police force and remove the useless state government from the picture. Now that it's a union territory, Center can control the security and safety aspects directly. Contrary to what you said Pakistan have used the proxy war strategy well. However India is now taking advantage of it by blaming Pak for every incident. FATF is the avenue they pursued. This time around India is prepared.
There are other separatist movements in India as well apart from Kashmir which can be exploited. India may be able to take care of these insurgencies but Pakistan's goal should be to keep India engaged on multiple fronts and weaken it internally just like India has been doing with Pakistan for 50+ years.
