"My concern is that India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons, and a tendency to get cranky"

Life imitates art. Why is it that anyone can seemingly violate Pakistani airspace without them knowing about it until it's all over?

The same reason they likely cannot deliver a nuke! Too much inbreeding!

India will need to initiate a surprise massive nuclear FIRST-strike against Pakistan if it wants to have a (non-Pyrrhic) victory in a war with them.

Or (if they have thoroughly studied Islam) they can just hit Mecca and Medina and be done with it.

Does this mean all the small mosques out there will follow?

A friend of mine spent some of her youth in that area.

She said the main difference was that in Pakistan if a brick fell out of a wall, they’d shrug and say “It’s God’s will.”, in India if a brick fell out of a wall they’d shrug and say “It’s the will of the Gods”, BUT THEY’D PUT THE BRICK BACK!

India has 1.2 billion people, of which 14% are Muslim. That’s 168 million Muslims, some significant percentage of whom will likely go nuts if India kills a bunch of Pakistani Muslims.

I don’t know. Pakistan knowingly provides safe harbor for numerous terrorist entities, so maybe they realize that blow back across their border is at least somewhat of a natural consequence for their inaction?

And India is run frankly by a bunch of duplicitous and corrupt political actors - which means they are not much unlike other western democracies.

Not really. India and Pakistan have gone to war 3 times and each time Indian Muslims supported India. And many of the soldiers and airforcemen fighting Pakistani militants now ARE muslims
