1) Elimination of a major, perhaps the major, cause of conflict
between India and a neighboring state.
Er no. They'll fight with us and vice versa (and the hawkish bloggers and
wikipedians on bharat rakshak.com and the paki equivalent will do the same
online <- ss is a mod on bharat rakshak I think). Kashmir, or whatever
other issue.
a) Lowered military spending.
Not bloody likely. Especially not in pakistan where the army has more of a
say in government than anybody else.
