Abstract
The relations between India and Pakistan have been arctic since freedom from British colonial
rule. India did not acknowledge Pakistan as a separate sovereign state.The flattening of Babri
Masjid, Gujarat aggression and operation polo are the indications of overt Indian bias. A key
determinant is Indo-Pakistan relations that are critical to peace in South Asia in the embryonic
political and strategic order in the region. India remained busy in nuclearization program and
Pakistan‟s defence policies have always been „India centric‟. The one of the major motives
behind Pakistan acquisition of nuclear program is the debacle of East Pakistan.Pakistan deems
military parity with India essential for her security. India outdoes Pakistan by her policies,
outsized economy, power, huge population and scientific and technological knack. Despite, their
collapsing economies, the rifts between India and Pakistan have changed the region into a nuclear
flashpoint. It is supposed that Pakistan in possession of weapons of mass destruction have proved
to be a „failed state‟ but due to their mutual threat perception, if India has nuclear arms and
missiles technology then Pakistan ought to have them.
