He could also do that by visiting real patients?

He needs the "patients" to look like army guys so he could galvanize the Indian nationalism spoken of in this thread, otherwise I won't be surprised if he meet an end similar to Indra Gandhi, but in this case the assassin is an Indian extreme nationalist that feel angry India got humiliated again.

Does anyone really care about it? It's just a photo-op, everyone stages photo-ops. The only people who care are Pakistani nationalists and the Indian Congress Party who want to use it to poke fun at Modi.

For Ladakh, the next stage seems to be what the Pakistanis want to do. The best case scenario is that all three parties stand down and work on a negotiated solution over the territorial claims. More likely, what you'll see is a Chinese build-up on Arunachal Pradesh and a Pakistani build-up on Kashmir, and a possible clash started by the Pakistanis.

TBH, Kashmir as is is unstable; it's a Muslim majority territory chafing at the strains of Indian rule, with Pakistan at the border chafing for annexation. It might be better for Pakistan to simply take Kashmir and settle the suit.

I agree. Logically, the India should give up Kashmir.

But the Indian political parties are hysterical about Kashmir/Ladakh being part of India.

And India is not willing (or able) to do what it takes to make Kashmir agree to being part of India.
