Great points. I'd also like to add that there's an "elite" group of kashmiri families that practically ruled Kashmir since the conflict began so it was never truly democratic, also the families of these separatist leaders live and study in India while they shut their state from being developed and create chaos to remain in power.
The entire valley uses Indian taxpayer's resources for basically everything and in return do not follow the law like the rest of the country, they dont follow the order of the Supreme court.
The demographic was changed due to the mass genocide/Exodus of Hindu Kashmiri pandits in the 90's and now they fear that allowing Indians/foreigners to buy property in "their" land is a ploy to disrupt the Muslim majority.
India allowed Kashmir to be a independent country after the partition, it was their king who asked India to intervene in a Pakistani invasion in exchange for being absorbed as an Indian state.
OP seems to be a troll who doesn't understand the intricate geopolitical scenario, Kashmir can never really be an independent state when three major nuclear powers border it. Also in his comment he mentioned he'd like Islamic law to be implemented in the state.
The media black out and troop mobilization was to prevent violence and riots that would have definitely ensued.
The choice is an Islamic country that would make sure the non- Muslims will have to move out. A communist authoritarian government. Third is the largest democracy.

So dry fruits, saffron and carpet weaving is going to bring in the revenue to maintain a country?
It might be enough to provide livelihood to villagers, but to maintain roads, universities, hospitals, airports, a standing army, airforce boatloads of taxes are required.
Can you prevent the valley from becoming the next Syria using dry fruit money?
Are you aware of the situation when the entire country held a vigil for the Delhi case, do you think the "country's image" wasn't tainted then? Nobody cares about the image, if such incidents happen action has and always will be taken against it. Democracy is a slow process, but it's the best process we've got. As we are on the topic of military and atrocities, do you mind explaining why rocks are hurled at the military and why children instead of going to schools participate in violent protests? After terrorist incidents why do people in the valley sympathize with the terrorist involved? Can you imagine what would have happened if someone in America celebrated 9/11 and mourned the death of Laden? Then you expect the people to sympathize with your separatist cause?
On the point of religious majorities, Hyderabad was a independent state before the partition and separatist thought is wouldn't sustain due to religious differences, today it's one of the biggest and most developed cities in India. Punjab is a Sikh majority, yet one of the richest states in India and a huge portion of the army belongs to that state. 2 nation theory always fails. Nothing boils down to religion. People of Jammu and Ladakh consider themselves Indian whereas I can't say the same for Kashmir valley.

Wouldn't it be better to develop a standardized SQL-type query language (think GraphQL) for cross-platform interaction?

Why do I have to type 3 different types of queries for using the DB using Compass, CLI, and JDBC ?
