Abstract
The evolving character of war and strategy in the emerging
geopolitical environment reflects a tension between the
traditional Trinitarian concept of war, pursued by a state for
attaining some policy objective, and a transformed, nonTrinitarian, stateless war pursued for myriad objectives. The
future of Indo-Pakistan strategic dynamics is characterized by
this tension. It is further aggravated by the space available in
these countries for stateless wars and the introduction of
nuclear weapons along with their modern derivatives into the
strategic competition, that is beset by contentious issues like
Kashmir and the deep-seated rivalry. The development of
nuclear weapons has failed to infuse strategic stability in IndoPakistan relations. Joint and irregular warfare scenarios are
likely to characterize the future of war and competitive
strategy in the subcontinent with complex notions of victory.
Conventional and nuclear forces will have to be adroitly
balanced by Pakistan in continental, air, maritime and strategic
domains against India‘s ‗superiority in numbers‘ to rebuff its
space for ‗limited war‘
