South Asian region is generally perceived as a nuclear flashpoint in which two rival nations, India and Pakistan, are interlocked in a dangerous and costly arms race. Both the countries are seriously engaged in revising their plans and developing their nuclear weapons and delivery systems. Display of offensive force capabilities, provocative military manoeuvres, fanatic statements by political leaders, sudden tests of advanced missile systems and large military exercises on the borders have been common in the region. To assume that South Asia's nuclearisation is going to promote regional stability is false, as deterrence is not likely to work in the region. Vertical and horizontal proliferations have increased the possibility of nuclear war if not by design then by accident/miscalculations.
