If things go out of control, who wins?
Tensions have always been high with our neighbours. Pakistan to the east and China to the north. And we’ve kept up with the camaraderie for as long as the border lines have been drawn. And we’ve redrawn those lines with the blood of our soldiers over the years. We’ve even fought wars with each other ever since 1947, some we’ve won, some our neighbours have won and some were inconclusive. The current atmosphere seems to be slowly veering towards another conflict but it’s all hype. Our armies have performed such acts of pre-emptive defence for decades, it’s just that the recent ones are getting a little too much of the limelight. But that doesn’t stop us from wondering…
What if?
What if we do go to war with Pakistan in this day and age? Will it ever go as far as nuking each other out? And let’s say if it ever does come to that, who comes out on top?
MILITARY MIGHT
If we are to stand toe to toe, then it should come as no surprise that India is way ahead of Pakistan when it comes to numbers. We have 1.325 million active servicemen while Pakistan has 0.620 million. And if we count our reserve forces then the number climbs to an astounding 3.5 million soldiers ready to answer the call, outnumbering Pakistan by 3-to-1. However, war isn’t just about numbers. The brave 300 spartans held out against the massive Persian army (we’re aware the 300 had a lot of help from the other city states) for seven days because they made the best use of local terrain. Similar examples are littered across the history pages. Rather than delving that deep let us compare the armed forces of the two nations briefly.
