Why didn't India nuke Pakistan?

[Shardul.....the lion]

At one side: Pakistanis say India is always ready to decimate pakistan
On other side: Pakistanis say India does not have guts to do so


Nuking Pakistan or any country is out of question, Nukes will only be used when country is about to broken or something like that.

No election in India is fought or contested on basis of Pakistan or destruction of Pakistan.

The question can be having military superiorty for several decades or even now when Pakistan is in total shambles, why does not India attack Pakistan (because Pakistanis believe India wants to destroy them, then the wish should be granted)?

Answer is India is a most peaceful nation on world. Even all 4 four wars were started by Pakistan one or other way.

Inarguably, one of the most stupidest threads I've seen on PDF.

Why didn't Israel nuke the Middle East?
Why didn't China nuke India?
...list goes on

Please answer these while you're at it.

nice ans, bro!

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.

The better question would be why didn't Harry Truman authorize MacArther to drop nuclear bomb on China when MacArther requested it during the Korean War when UN and U.S. casualties were heavy.

Here is a quote from one of the founder of Manhattan project for you to think about:
"I don't know what weapons countries might use to fight World War III, but wars after that will be fought with sticks and stones" Albert Einstein

Because India knows fully well that Pakistan won't surrender now - It will ensure that enemy is completely destroyed ( It is better to die honorable death then surrender IMHO.I know Pakistan won't exist anymore but India will be finished too.Don't tell you me you will win nuclear war..just nuke few of your cities, water supplies and India will be finished as we know it)..This is how MAD works.

Because right from the very start India has had a "no-first use" policy and sttod by the idea of credible detterence. India has no coloinal/imperial aims purely to devlop herself and become prospourous for all her citizens to live good lives. And India's decsion to devlop nuks only came in response to China devloping the tech first.

And What is your problem Ruskie?You paid the price rightly for supporting India all along - Got your country broken into several pieces.I mean Pakistan is not even important in global geopolitical sense but What happened to Soviet Union will always be part of history.I think Pakistan paid back in the same coin very very effectively.

OMG being such a long time memeber of this forum you still do not know what happened with USSR? You think India was so strong then that it made USSR to split up??

what was to be gained by using nukes. nukes are supposed to avoid wars not fight them.

they are for having and scaring the enemy. not for actually being used

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.

What are your views on Jinnah ? Do you think that a man suffering from the last stages of tuberculosis would want to have the 'last laugh' despite being one of the greatest proponents of Hindu-Muslim Unity in the beginning ! And yes I do agree that we have more in common with each other than with anyone else and hence, we should bury the past, and works towards a more constructive future. Our prime duty should be 'Social Welfare' for the people that live in the Indian Subcontinent !

firstly I was talking of several decades of military superiory
Secondly, Your answer shows that means India is not bloodthirsty of Pakistan nation due to MAD. try to understand the logic, I am using.

Its either of two, If India is bloodthirsty then it will attack Pakistan without thinking consequences.
or India is a peaceful nation

Pakistan's no. of nuclear weapons, if it is 90-110 of 50 kT nukes, is not nearly enough to destroy India. Or even damage India's military capability. So, your presumption of "destroying India through nukes" is not valid. India would still have significant military and economic capability after being nuked full scale with 90-110 nukes of 50 kT yield.

Jinnah had agreed for United India with Hindu and Muslim dominions in 1946. while congress rejected it.

Anyways Past is past, we should be peaceful neighbours and develop our south asia which is last in all HDI rankings just ahead of African nations.

America is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against another country, that too was at the height of second world war, we are told it was in a desperate effort to end the war in Pacific. India may have detonated a nuclear device in 1974, but after 1971, apart from some hostilities and an odd local skirmish, there has been no reason for India to attack. The world has moved on since 1945, I doubt any nuclear armed country would dare using such weapons unless it's own very existence was threatened, and off course after the early 80s, the MAD factor has very much come into the equation.
