Abstract
Pakistan and India have been at loggerheads with each other since their independence from the colonial rule of Great Britain in 1947. But since 1998, both are nuclear powers with advanced missiles regime that have the capability of carrying nuclear weapons. India formulated a Cold Start Doctrine with the aim of short and conventional war but Pakistan’s advancement in the development of short range missiles equipped with tactical nuclear weapons has been instrumental in containing the so called Indian doctrine. The paper analyzes the role of Pakistan’s missile technology in doing away with the Indian aggressive designs against Pakistan. A number of Pakistani defense analysts have been interviewed in this regard and Indian point of view is also compared with that of Pakistani point of view.
