Why would they need guns? Wouldn't lathis and riot control armor be enough? (O.K., maybe they'd need a water cannon.)Look theoretically you are right but practicality is different piece of cake. You can accuse police of many things but some times they do their best to keep law & order from spiraling out of control. Even if they need to fire a gun shot they need to get permission for that.
Tear gas?Most of the time such things enrage the mob and cause more damage.
How much riot control gear could Pakistan and India buy for the cost of just one nuke? Which opportunity cost would make citizens safer?Subcontinent is not like USA where they have lot of resources to deal with such problems.
