This collection of seminal articles illustrates the reasons for the
spiraling nuclear race in the Asian subcontinent and introduces the
principal debates in the field. Authors discuss whether the
acquisition of nuclear weapons by the South Asian powers has raised
the likelihood of a nuclear war in the subcontinent or reduced the
chance of a conventional war breaking out. They examine whether a
small nuclear arsenal or a nuclear triad, as declared by India, is
suitable for bringing stability to the region, as well as the risk
of an accidental nuclear conflagration. The first section charts
the evolution of nuclear programmes on the basis of realpolitik,
and the second section analyses nuclear policies on the basis of
religious and cultural ethos. A few essays turn the spotlight on
the role of external powers in accelerating, decelerating and
mediating the ongoing nuclear tension between India and Pakistan.
