What's wrong with modernizing and improving scientific base.......... it's the way that you build knowledge....... rest of the world does it, it's all honky dory, we do it, it's not kosher? Wtf!

Actually nuclear weapons have prevented a massive land war in the last 70 years. Although the saved lives are only on borrowed time, because when someone finally decides to exchange, nobody survives.

But we have come extremely close to nuclear war several times.e.g. Cuban missile crisis,Cold War,Kargil War etc.

Fear of Indian military// if there's a war pak can't win so keeping the nuck only make them sleep well at night, so they won't change their policy

Yes. They talk of nuking us for launching strikes in Azad Kashmir. It's a hard fact that Pakistan looses its shine in terms of conventional strength and the non signing of the No first use is an indirect acceptance of the fact.

India signed the no first use. You can start by signing that first what is stopping you?

action speaks louder than meaningless words written on toilet paper

What action are we talking of? And just because Pakistan doesn't sign it because of its insecurities it does not make an International document some worthless paper.

given the lack of geographic dept of pak , i doubt pak can withstand indian onslaught for even a week. only nuke have ensured pak safety

you're in for a surprise then

Okay, I give you that Pakistan is capable of holding Indian offensive and i don't have doubts in my mind about the Pakistani capability. You have the wherewithal to hold Indian forces. But the important question is for how long? A blockade would be in place choking Pakistan for oil and disconnecting it from any economic activity. Does this become the point of nuclear exchange and or would Pakistan come to the table for negotiation?

And the fear of Chinese military will prevent India from changing its nuclear policy.

China invested loads of money in India *** *****, China wont risk the loss.

That's true. India developed its nuclear weapons because of China and also India signed the No first use given the both conventional as well as nuclear superiority of the Chinese. The same is not true in case of Pakistan.

You might want to look at past wars. Bar 71 we not only withstood your forces for more than a "week" but bought them to s standstill. Considering you possessed a favourable ratio of at least 3:1, your post is outlandish.

Conventionally we can fight you off and strike back hard.

Pakistan surges ahead of India in nuclear stockpile: Report

Pakistan's nuclear arsenal continues to surge ahead with 100-120 warheads as compared to India's 90-110. China has more than double that number with 250 warheads. The US and Russia, of course, are in a different league altogether with 7,000-8,000 warheads each, together possessing 93% of all nuclear weapons.
This is the latest assessment of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute which holds that all the nine nuclear-armed countries continue to "modernize" their nuclear arsenals and delivery systems like long-range missiles.
With the US and Russia slowly reducing their huge inventories under the new strategic arms reduction treaty of 2011, the overall number of nuclear weapons continues to decline. But there are still 16,300 nuclear weapons around the globe, of which around 4,000 are "operational", said SIPRI.
"China, India and Pakistan are the only nuclear weapon states that are expanding their nuclear arsenals, while Israel appears to be waiting to see how the situation in Iran develops," it added.

But rather than its actual stockpile of warheads as compared to Pakistan and China, the Indian defence establishment remains more worried about its delivery systems. The Indian armed forces still do not have SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) and ICBMs (inter-continental ballistic missiles) in their arsenal, both of which are needed for credible deterrence against its two neighbours.
