That regiment has been reconfigured to comprise Dogras, Jammu Hindus and Ladakhis . There are NO Muslims in the Indian Army combat manpower. Shoe polish boys and kitchen pages, yes .There are virtually no Muslims in the Indian military, don't kid yourself, they don't want to join:
India’s Muslim Soldiers
Muslims are underrepresented in India’s army. But this should not be allowed to skew recruitment.thediplomat.com
"According to CNN IBN’s Minority Report, of India’s one million soldiers only 3 percent are Muslims, or roughly 29,000 soldiers in all. And if the troops serving in the Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry (JAK LI), are subtracted (50 percent of whom are Muslim troops), that percentage is much lower."
Even the traditional Meos, and Mewati " border line " temple worshipping "Muslims " are no longer recruited. The merger of the Nizam's Army resulted in the Deccan Lancers being cleansed of Andhra and Telugu speaking Muslims from the regiment.
Even the Navy and Air Force that were once immune from religious discrimination and had a modest population of Indian Muslims ( NCO ranks, airmen, sailors) from Tamil Nadu and Kerala now have no Muslims left.
It's not surprising or unusual.
A Hindu Army is facing a Muslim army. The Indo Pakistan conflict is not over territory. It is the usual Hindu Muslim riots to be fought with tanks, aircraft, missiles and nuclear weapons. For India it is not Kashmir at all. One or both must perish.
