S-19, What a thread...mate ! As for your question :

India didn't nuke Pakistan because it didn't have the capability nor the reason too ! What would India get by nuking a non-nuclear country ? Apart from International Condemnation, significant Nuclear fall-out in their land (My City..the second largest in Pakistan is about an hours drive from the Indian border) and a significant blow to their economy by virtue of incessant sanctions. And this in not even mentioning that though Indians and Pakistanis may not agree on a plethora of things we still don't hate each other enough to kill one-another like that.

Mate, the bad blood between India and Pakistan goes back to the time of our creation ! We, in Pakistan, wanted a separate homeland for ourselves...they, in India, didn't agree with this stance and so a Partition of the Indian Subcontinent happened and because of the bad-blood that existed because of that difference of opinion....Millions butchered each other ! How can you then expect anything but 'Bad Blood' between India and Pakistan ? So naturally when any terrorist activity happens in India or a separatist movement operates in India...the first instinct is to think that Pakistan was involved; similarly when any of the same instances happen in Pakistan...the first instinct, likewise, is to blame India. And this 'trust-deficit' extends to many other fields as well...!
 
The period I'm talking about is not one or two years. It is more than 20 years, while India had nukes but pakistan did not.

They're first proper nuclear tests were in 1998; the one in 1974 wasn't exactly a bomb. Pakistan had nukes by the end of the 80s; and if India didn't test their bombs in 1998, Pakistan wouldn't have to this day.
 
LOL. According to your logic then this world would only have Mongols living today because back then they were the most powerful people on earth and could easily destroy any country they wanted to.

Yes India had nukes just before Pakistan did but that does not mean she could destroy Pakistan if she wanted to do so.
If India did attack Pakistan with nukes then world war 3 would break out and China would not just sit idle and let India get away with the crime and then Russia would join in and USA and....etc

wonder where was China in 1971 !!! interesting !!!
 
Try having India as your neighbour, and you'll know what sort of demons they are :lol:
BDesh, Sri Lanka, China and even Nepal agree :woot:
try having pak and china as neighbour and see how much saints they both are afghanistan, vietnam,phillipines,south korea can tell you more on that topic

India had conventional superiority. Until 1980, India could have attacked Pakistan conventionally, India did not need to use its nukes.

You have already seen my explanation in post #33.
 
India and Pak are brothers seperated at birth, due to some selfish leaders, if not fathers of nations.

How, cruel the brother is, nobody will kill them.

India's real enemy is the land hungry, power hungry, bullying nation, nation which wants to rule the world, nation which doesnt have guts to fight and encourages brothers to fight aganist each other, so that if one dies, they would kill the other one...

That is our real enemy.

Pak & India :cheers:

"Brother's" at birth maybe; but our 'kinship' was broken on the day Nehru showed his greediness on Kashmir.

The brotherhood's off dude, you're living in cuckoo-land.

India tested a nuclear device as early as 1974 which had a yield of 8 kT. I'm sure if they really wished to, they could have developed a full-fledged nuclear bomb and delivery systems before 1980 to nuke and annihilate pakistan completely.

Pakistan's nuclear program was a response to India's and was started after the indian test in 1974. By 1990+, pakistan probably had a nuclear device to test like that of India's, however, this does not change the fact that India could, if they wished to, nuke pakistan into oblivion and occupy it during the time period as many suggests they would.

This is again a misconception. Pakistan had begun its nuclear program immediately after the 1971 East Pakistan genocide. Even before the Indian test in 1974.

Bro, I was talking pre-divishion of our countires.

Just becoz of the power hungry nehru, and blind support by gandhi, we were seperated.

And cuckoo land or not, the above is my opinion and it will remain like that.

Sometimes i just laugh at things like Kashmir and Terrorism issues. This is a cruel joke being played by both our leaders just to keep the hate burning amongst guys like us.

Un-fortunetly u r still dancing to their tunes.
