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.
