Even so Pakistan, the smaller of the two, is the 6th most populous country in the world and only around 1/3 of its 200+ million people live in cities. India doesn't have the nukes to wipe them out and win a war against the Pakistan military. India would have to go full Nazi ethnic cleansing to achieve that goal, their ~200 nukes would not do the job. I don't think India could successfully invade Pakistan anyway because their invasion forces would get nuked.

Any problems India has facing Pakistan are tripled if you reverse the positions.


The Indian conventional military most likely beats pakistani conventional military

also against military targets you got tactical nukes and against cities you got strategic nukes and those two are seperate

but if your basic point is that nobody wins a nuclear exchange I agree with u

India would have more success laying siege to Pakistan and forcing them to surrender over a long period of time because India has a significant naval advantage but other countries would probably get involved in helping Pakistan out if that happened.
oh yeah, this is true and that's why India has no first use policy whereas pakistan doesn't

has this ever been tested?

no but if you think about it you can't really stop the chain of nuclear escalation

let's say i'm pakistan and I nuke an indian division india goes back and nuke my division in retaliation, but then I'm gonna go "oh india nuked one of my elite imran khan guard divisions whereas I only nuked one of their "jai hind" lovely penal divisions so I need to nuke them back again to make it even"

obviously the indians are gonna retaliate in kind again and before you know it new delhi and karachi are bathed in atomic fire

my indian friend told me that in northern india all politics is just insider families pretending to be political parties (i.e the INC is owned by the ghandi family) and in southern india all politics are celebrities like movie stars being elected

my other indian friend told me he liked modi because he built infrastructure

and obvsly pakistani politics is just a proxy for army rule

it varies a lot and is pretty chaotic. It breaks down along ethnic, religious, caste lines - in any city a neighbourhood will probably be controlled by street muscle from the dominant group there, who choose to give their allegiance to a party based on historical ties or who can buy them off the best.

the Gandhi's may 'own' the INC but there's a lot of power devolution between leadership and what happens on the street level. If the leadership is perceived as too weak or does something to piss the street muscle off there'sr splits into regional parties (that's why there's a thousand parties called Congress) or the leadership gets couped (what Modi did to the 90s era bjp leaders)

Remember musharaff? His story's pretty funny. He started the kargil war, hosed it up, and got sacked. Instead of accepting it he decided to coup the Pakistani pm

This time the army was cleverer and decided to soft coup the pm through ballot rigging.

The pm each time was a guy called Nawaz Sharif. You might think he's unlucky, but actually he's the luckiest guy in the world, because if the army really hate you they'll outright kill you like they did to benazir Bhutto, and also her dad zulfiqar (the last left wing leader in Pakistan, rip)
