| COVER STORY: INDO – PAK NUCLEAR WAR, SIZE MATTERS |
| 12 years ago on 11 and 28 May 1998 India and Pakistan carried out nuclear weapon tests at Pokhran and Chagai and became nuclear powers. Over the years, an unfortunate impression has gained currency that with the nuclearisation of South Asia, conventional military conflict is no longer a viable response option to Pakistan’s sub-conventional offensive against India. This fallacy has led to a virtual policy paralysis in New Delhi, preventing bold action against the slaughter of Indian citizens in endless terrorist strikes. A response, which seems to be a meek surrender on Kashmir and now on the issue of river waters, is not a realistic construct. |
