Seminar: Challenges to India's Nuclear Doctrine
If you would like to skip the introduction skip to 4:00.
Please bear with Vice Admiral Vijay Shankar's speech dis-fluency at the beginning.
A Covenant Sans Sword:
Challenges to India's Nuclear Doctrine” by Retired Indian Vice Admiral Vijay Shankar on Oct. 6, 2014.
India's nuclear policy faces significant challenges from the opacity of Pakistan’s strategic nuclear thinking and its development of tactical nuclear weapons. The combustible mixture of these factors has not only made it prickly for India to find coherence in its long-term policies, but it has also increased the threat of a nuclear standoff between the two countries. The status-quo is unacceptable for India because Pakistan upholds an ambiguous nuclear doctrine that could have perilous effects if India were to retaliate against an attack on Indian soil. Critics of India's No First Use policy argue that it abrogates the duty of the state to protect its citizens by leaving them vulnerable to a first strike. Can India find a way to strengthen its long-term security without risking nuclear escalation?

Hello -Aboombanation
I found no Instructions on Whether new members could start posting threads.
Also how do i make the video appear for Pakistani members. As YouTube is banned in that country.
I would love to know if i can duplicate this thread in the "Strategic & Foreign Affairs" section of
Pakistan Affairs on PDF.
Edit:
Please Move this thread to Strategic & Foreign Affairs, Pakistan Affairs.
I don't know how to delete it.(Just saw the "No Strategic Affairs" when I hovered over the "India Defense Forum".)
