This article explores the enduring conflict between India and Pakistan and the hidden risk of war. It argues that India and Pakistan’s respective military strategies, Islamic jihadi outfits in Pakistan, continuing terrorist attacks in India, the politically volatile situation in Pakistan, the strategic geometry in South Asia, and the miscalculation arising out of ballistic missile defense systems contradict the nuclear deterrence theory in South Asia.
