    Hillary Clinton 'does not want her grandchildren to live in a world dominated by the Chinese

    I see. In the current scenario however, China will never 'replace' US. It will be a multipolar world. There will be big two - US and China and a couple of others slightly lower than the big two. India for example- India will be its own pole and not join any side. And while our economy will...

    Depends on a lot of factors. Size of the warhead, wind conditions, etc. In a majority of the cases - yes. In a minority of the cases - no (where India uses a sufficiently small warhead). But even in this scenario, there will be fallout in Amritsar. To what extent, depends again on warhead...
