Maybe I am wrong - but the sense I am getting is that there is a widespread acknowledgement on the part of India that families and bonds have been broken by the LoC which can be mended. Let me call this call this the "aim" in Kashmir, but subject to the following condition:
There is a gradual imposition of the hard fact on all parties concerned that
1) Kashmir will remain part of India
2) Violence will not change anything on the ground other than making it more difficult for Kashmiris
3) Peace, development and democracy have definite positive benefits in a manner that is becoming clearly visible on either side of the LoC
All three points above have negative consequences for Pakistan (and its separatists) who have a one point agenda of creating violent disorder.
There was a cartoon posted elsewhere about the Taliban/Al Qaeda telling the US "You have the weapons, we have the time". Too many people on this forum who spout the Indic word loosely ignore the fact that time extending beyond human lifetimes is a perfectly valid tactic provided the aims are kept in mind across lifetimes. India has the time and words like "use or lose it" make good poetry for people who cannot see what is being used and how.
The first step is to quell violence. Events in many places show that quelling violence often takes 20 to 30 years (maybe more) as "young revolutionaries" who become great and violent leaders gradually fail to achieve their goals via violence over a lifetime and are either eventually killed or figure out that the people among whom they created violence are tired of it. Nation states on the other hand can rotate troops who are young and fresh for long periods of time without tiring.
After quelling violence the next step is to offer peace, democracy (which is a form of self), education and development.
Reunification with people across the border is a definite aim. It is complicated by the existence of Pakistan and Pakisan' sponsorship of violence and by Islamic extremists who are introducing global jihad in the area. But India's aim are aided by India's long term stamina in Kashmir and the fact that J&K is in far better shape than PoK politically and economically. India is also aided by Pakistan's failures and it may be Pakistan's failures that are driving a desperate effort by the Pakjabi establishment to say "OK if we can't hold PoK we will give it to China and no let India in" The whole tells the client just before being raped (for free) "Please take me, I am yours".
I believe that Pakis letting the Chinese into PoK can be utilised positively by India in the long term. "Kashmiriyat" and the whole Kashmir question is a social issue. It is the social cleft - of separated families and a cleaved land that needs to be addressed. India has addressed the India side by article 370. Pakistan has tried and failed militarily, but has suppressed any possibility of any PoK resident piping up and saying that things may be better across the border in India, which they are. Pakistan has done this using the China method of suppression, occupation and killing when needed and they have also introduced foreign jihadis in the area who have been killed by the hundred in India. Chinese troops in this area are sure to alienate the population and make the calls for some kind of PoK link with India stronger. The Paki whore may let a Chinese hand inside her blouse - but China is not going to get its hand in India's blouse. For a change India may be able to sponsor a resistance movement in PoK or otherwise utilize the presence of aliens in PoK to strengthen the PoK-Indian J&K peoples bond.
It is difficult to say how this can pan out - but "making that border irrelevant" for Kashmiris and keeping it relevant for the Pakjabi whore and her Chinese client would be one step forward. After all

India is interested in people and thee family bonds across the LoC and will do all it can to unite the Kashmiri people under the aegis of freedom and democratic self rule, protected from foreign occupation and violent forces by an Indian umbrella.
