Pakistan India Strategic Stability Talk

To address the question of whether or not nuclear arms control and disarmament in South Asia can be achieved, it is necessary to understand whether or not states such as Pakistan and India change their direction to nuclear restraint; bilateral relations between Pakistan and India; resolution of the Kashmir dispute; and how they interact with the Nuclear Non Proliferation Norms (NNPN), . The role of a player other than India and Pakistan plays an important role in the changing of preference of the states toward nuclear restraint. India's reluctance to accept binding non-proliferation and disarmament commitments, for instance, relates to China's role. China has been deeply involved with Pakistan's nuclear development which has led India to develop a larger nuclear arsenal. India has war fighting capabilities that include Shourya nuclear missiles, Prahaar, Brahmos, and Nirbhay missiles. India has also developed Akula, the nuclear attack submarine; Sagarika and K-4, the seaborne missiles; and Arihant. India’s war fighting capability indicates that arms build up is still India’s strategic deterrence. India’s assertive move has caused considerable tension with Pakistan and potentially with China. India’s land based ballistic missiles include Prithvi, Agni I and II that can target Pakistan, and Agni V that can target China. Pakistan responded with counter threat actions and deterrence against an Indian conventional military attack in Kashmir. The India-Pakistan bilateral relationship is complex due to their historical and political narratives. Nonetheless, ultimate resolution of the Kashmir dispute has the potential to change their preference in the direction of nuclear constraint. The Kashmir dispute is not only religious but also a territorial matter. Until both security concerns are addressed and fulfilled, nuclear arms control in South Asia is far from possible. APSI Forum and Centre of Excellence hosted a Pakistan-India Strategic Stability talk on May 5th, 2022, at 2pm NZDT. Moderated by Paul Cobaugh from the Narrative Strategies, the panelists include Dr Mansoor Ahmed from Centre for International Strategic Studies in Pakistan; Lt General Sunil Srivastava from the Indian Army; and Dr David Jonas, Adjunct professor of Law at George Washington University.
