Nuclearization of South Asia: Impacts on Regional Peace and Security
Abstract
The India and Pakistan conflict has suffered for six decades, a series of wars and crises design its course. The rapidly growing Arms race among them poses a threat to regional stability in sense of Peace and security. Both states are entangled in a long-standing security competition, most commonly globally recognized as a dispute the Kashmir is the nuclear war flashpoint. There is a long timeline of armaments among both states since the partition. The security competition is an action-reaction spiral; this relationship is a classic example of a security dilemma, whereby one state’s action causes insecurity to another. This security dilemma may lead to an Arms race among two rivals. New Delhi often justifies its military builds-up postures China-centric but this is creating a security dilemma among its neighboring countries especially in recent years Pakistan. This article intends to explain the phenomenon of the arms race between India and Pakistan and its regional implication as poses a threat to peace and security in South Asia.
