This study re-evaluates nuclear deterrence concepts and
strategies of India and Pakistan in the transformed regional
environment. This paper primarily focuses on evaluating the
two states‘ transformative progression and steady transition
into their nuclear strategies and postures. It addresses the
following questions: How did the two states‘ distinct
directions guide them to formulate their doctrines and
strategies? How far have the changing security dynamics and
emerging doctrinal structures made India and Pakistan more
or less secure? How would transformation from land to seabased deterrence affect the regional stability in South Asia?
The paper finds that nuclear deterrence in South Asia
apparently has stabilised the region but peace was
precariously maintained because the two states did not
rationally demonstrate strategic responsibility to induce
permanent peace and preclude the probability of war. The
introduction of new technologies and states‘ transformation
from land to sea-based deterrence has further aggravated
arms race and raised questions on regional strategic stability.
