Abstract

Strategic stability in South Asia is fragile because of India’s massive military build-up, doctrinal shift, and change in its strategic thinking. The Indian government has allocated billions of dollars to transform its tri-services with network centric and electronic warfare capabilities. This is likely to create a huge strategic disparity vis-à-vis Pakistan. Against this backdrop, the possibility of a limited war warrants countermeasures by Pakistan. India and Pakistan must show restraint and resolve their issues amicably through peaceful dialogue for the long-term peace and stability of South Asia.
