Pakistan and Bharat were carved out of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947 but have been at loggerheads ever since their existence mainly due to the fact that the Hindus were opposed to the creation of Pakistan and the British left the unresolved legacy of Kashmir, which has been a major point of contention between them resulting in three major wars and numerous skirmishes.

Indian hegemony and aspirations of supremacy have forced Pakistan to endeavor for a military balance, albeit for its own survival. Indian nuclear weapons trials, led to tit for tat tests by Pakistan; Indian missile program, which was mostly Pakistan-centric and was largely exported from other nations forced Pakistan to develop its own missile program indigenously, as Pakistan had no where to look for in this regard.

Every now and then, Pakistan bailer are claiming that the Pakistan’s advanced defense gadgets come against a backdrop of mounting political opposition to the west’s mounting fears about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. It is being speculated that in case extremists over run Pakistan, they would have not only access to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, but a trigger happy bunch of so-called radicals could hold the entire world hostage to their demands with their fingers on the nuclear weapons launch button.

The truth couldn’t be further than that. Pakistan indeed has a very strong and robust nuclear programme and it can match any adversary. It is not lagging behind in other advanced defense technologies either and its certainly is not begging it from Russia or US or or Israel or another nation; rather Pakistan has got a crystal clear and firm nuclear vision and doctrine with enough safe guards in place to ensure that its nuclear weapons cannot be misused.

Pakistan has always been in the eye of the storm due to the propaganda campaign launched by Indian media, by thats really ridiculous. Pakistan has got far much better defense technology than the India, and Pakistan knows how to secure it and Pakistan also knows how to defend it.
