When India was getting independence and being partitioned, Kashmir has a Hindu maharajah leading a mostly Muslim population. The maharajah acceded to India, contrary to the wishes of the people.

Picky, picky, picky. Lol.

Who do you think gave them the nukes, duh!

Since I haven't been following this very carefully, OK, AT ALL, I don't know.
So, WHO gave them the nukes?

Really? The Chinese and Indian borders have been a sore point for a long time, I think.

My statement was re how Pakistan got nukes.
Why? In the Cold War era W/E Pakistan was our ally
Constantly fighting with their Indian brethren
(Soviet leaning) over Kashmir etc.

After they got beat down @71 war and E
Pakistan severed they endeavoured to get a
nuke knowing India was trying too
China gave it to them possibly as a counter to India
