Shiv,
I would be able to wholeheartedly agree with everything you've written
if you replace every occurrence of "Pakistan" with "the Pakistani
military establishment" (which, at this time, is the prime mover behind
most things in the country).
This, however, considerably weakens your argument, which is guilty of
exactly the same fallacy (representing Pakistan as a monolithic entity)
that you were complaining about in different threads - the various ones
about "Hindus".
Bringing this back to the question asked in the original post that
started this thread, what does this mean for India ("Which India will
win?").
Or, as I prefer to put it, "So what?"
