#1 It was the Punjab state police under KPS Gill that exterminated the sikh rebels in the Punjab, not the army.

It is one of the most sucessful counter-insurgency campaigns in modern history.

Because of their work, the police have contacts within the local community that the army lacks.
When you combine that with the ruthlessness of someone like Gill, you have effective COIN ops.
