INDIA-PAKISTAN: A MERE FAMILY QUARREL WITH NUKES by Raju G.C. Thomas However, because of the threat of Pakistani nuclear retaliation, India could not consider an all-out conventional war in 1999 that would have compelled Pakistan to defend the entire country against India's superior conventional forces, as it did in 1965 and 1971 when Pakistan attempted to seize Kashmir by force. Forebodings of an impending Indo-Pakistani nuclear war in the midst of the Afghanistan crisis appear overblown although precautionary measures to avoid such an eventuality are necessary. The periodic warnings by the West that India and Pakistan are on the brink of nuclear war may compound the dangers of nuclear war and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. www.chroniclesmagazine.org /News/Thomas/NewsRT060302.html   (1105 words)

mcmahon2005.doc The Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 was a watershed of American relationship with India and Pakistan.

PakDef Forums - Pakistani Special Forces It was not until the second Indo-Pakistani war in 1965 that India formed "an ad hoc commando (Cdo) detachment composed of volunteers from various infantry units." They performed their wartime duties so well that the government decided the following year to establish a permanent Cdo (Cdo) unit, the 9th Battalion (Bn) of the Parachute Regiment. Pakistani SF performed their first combat missions during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani war. If the Pakistani Marines are provided with this role and provided the necessary equipment they could form the main strike element in any rapid reaction force supplemented by a dedicated PA airborne division (with their own helos of course) to form some sort of joint rapid reaction force making better use of resources during wartime. www.pakdef.info /forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3212   (9377 words)

Indo-Pakistan War of 1965 Now that Pakistani troops are indubitably fighting on the plains of East Punjab in Indian territory, the mood here is one of cautious jubilation, Optimistic communiques in the first week of the war, were accepted in an act of faith, which now appears justified.

Pakistan's Nuclear Brinkmanship Soon afterwards, numerous Pakistani leaders repeatedly reinforced the new tenet -- that nuclear weapons were the sole guarantor of Pakistan's security as threatened by the specter of Indian aggression and military attacks. The Pakistani negotiations with India on mutual reduction of tension, held between January 1989 and January 1990, were conducted against a strongly held assessment of the Pakistani military and intelligence elite that a major clash with India was inevitable and imminent. Pakistani officials point out that by and large, the tenets of Islamabad's national policy and strategy are inherently anti-American -- be it the strategic alliance with the PRC, or the close special relations with Iran, Iraq, Libya, and the Muslim World as a whole. www.indianembassy.org /policy/Terrorism/think_tank/pakistan_nuclear_brinkmanship_1995.htm   (6632 words)

Indias Pathways to Pokharan 1999 Pakistani decisionmakers also allegedly considered resorting to the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a concerted Indian incursion into Pakistan's heartland.[79] As the crisis peaked in May 1990, on the basis of reports from U.S. intelligence agencies, President George Bush sent Robert Gates, the deputy national security adviser, to India and Pakistan. Just before the war ended a hundred members of the Lok Sabha wrote to Prime Minister Shastri calling for India to exercise the nuclear weapons option.[35] Amid the growing public and political pressure, Shastri revealed a slight shift in the government's public pronouncements on nuclear weapons. Worse still, the Chinese declared a unilateral cease-fire after achieving their territorial objectives, thereby humiliating Nehru and the Indian political leadership.[12] The significance of this war on India's foreign and security policymakers cannot be underestimated. www.arches.uga.edu /~sga/readings/pathways_to_pokharan.htm   (5723 words)
