Nuclear weapons have proved their deterrence worth in South
Asia. There has been no full scale conventional war between
India and Pakistan since their appearance on the scene. In the
face of Pakistan’s present economic and diplomatic challenges
they have given the country‘s defence its needed confidence and
capability that the old adversary fully appreciates. The balance of
terror has in fact reinforced the security of the region. US
mediation did lend a helping hand in defusing crises in the past
but what has been more critical is the realization in the
subcontinent of the dangerous consequences of escalation.
Pakistan’s credible nuclear capability has helped make Indian
choices of de-escalation easier.
