CAN INDIA GO ON A NUCLEAR WAR WITH PAKISTAN??

A lot of action has been happening in the past few weeks following the Uri attacks dated September 18, 2016 wherein 17 Indian army personnel were killed and further 19-30 reported to be killed. The retaliation of the Indian Army in the form of the surgical strikes in which the Indian Army eliminated as many as 38 terrorists and Pakistani soldiers (As reported by the Army) has resulted in many speculating a full - fledged war between the two countries. Moreover nowadays, a war is inevitable without involving the nuclear weaponry and it is a matter of big debate whether India can afford to go on a Nuclear War with Pakistan?

To start with, while a war between India and Pakistan is highly unlikely, yet, it cannot be ruled out. Now, if a war does break out and Nukes are used the following might happen:

1. Immediate killing of 21 million people in the both countries.

2. Killing of at least 2 billion people worldwide as a result of climatic change.

3. Triggering of a global famine

Economically speaking, a war with Pakistan can lead India to spend upto Rs. 5,000 crore per day, an expenditure India cannot afford right now and if it does, would lead to the pushing of the Indian economy by a decade.

Therefore, it won't be wrong to say that a war between India and Pakistan will lead to the "end of civilization".......
