For Peace or To Threaten the Neighbors!
What will you do if some one, stronger than
you acquire a power which can vanish your identity forever? Especially when he
had tried more than once to do so before he had that horrible power? And more
specifically when you are being attacked by him and no one around you have
courage to stop him?
If your answer is "I should balance the
power so that I live securely without any scare"
Any independent-eyed and open-minded person
MUST agree this realistic approach.
Keeping the above illustration in mind and
visualizing the scenario of Pak-India relationship since 1947, you can realize
the need of Pakistan's Nuclear and Missile Program.

"Potentially,
the Ghauri poses an unprecedented threat to India's national security. If
deployed with a nuclear warhead, every major Indian population, economic, and
military centre would be threatened. Pakistan's attempt to communalise the
strategic debate in South Asia by christening its new missile after a Muslim
marauder -- Shahabuddin
Ghauri[1] -- not only
smacks of political insensitivity, but downright vulgarity. But before pointing
fingers across the border, we honestly need to confront a few uncomfortable
truths.
First, the Ghauri has come as a response to
India's larger and more sophisticated Integrated Guided Missile Programme.
Pakistan probably received external assistance in the design and development of
Ghauri, but India's own missiles have not entirely been fathered from
indigenous genetic stock. Lest it be forgotten, the Prithvi [2] uses a larger reverse-engineered version of the SAM 2 engine.
Second, there is no independent
evidence to support Defence Minister George Fernandes's claim that China is the
"mother of Ghauri." For all we know, the missile may have been
developed with help from North Korea."
"For a start, Pakistan has
signed and ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention. The CWC has banned the
production, acquisition, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons. If India has
any doubts of Pakistan's complicity it can trigger challenge inspections."
"From a
strategic perspective, the Ghauri would make the most sense if it were designed
to deliver nuclear payloads. At a minimum, Pakistan would need to conduct one
or two nuclear tests to arrive at an optimum size, weight, and yield ratio for
its nuclear warheads with confidence."
"...there is no independent evidence to support Defence Minister George Fernandes's claim that China is the "mother of Ghauri." For all we know, the missile may have been developed with help from North Korea."[3]
[1] Muhammad Bin Sam Ghori, renowned with Shabuddin Ghouri: One of the Muslim Emperors, Ruler of Ghazni. He is blamed to transfigure the immoral state of rulership in former North Hindustan (Pak-Indian sub continent). Continue
[2] Prithvi Raj Chohan: Last Emperor of former Delhi and Ajmair. He had a fine taste to fight even with his co-religionists neighbors (Rajput Emperors). Pakistan has been tasted such "War-Madness" of Prithivi's Forerunner-India, several times since its freedom. Continue
[3] This quote is reproduced to reveal this fact that
Pakistan is urged to continue its Missile Program. If Pakistan (as claimed, but
not proved yet) has acquired the "Ghouri Technology" from any other
country, he has right to do so because of two basic reasons:
1.
India launched its four
Missile Programs simultaneously in 1983. Due to strong inter-relationship and
constant technological assistance from other countries India has superiority
over Pakistan. Pakistan has no chance other than to keep or try to keep
the pace with this trend in order to balance the power in the
subcontinent-either by developing its own missiles or by taking assistance from
other country or countries.
2.
According to Asian
Studies of Heritage Foundation, Washington, India test-fired Pirithvi Missile
in Jan-1996 to test its capability to deliver Nuclear-Warhead to the target.
After then Pakistan has been pushed to keep continue its Nuclear and Missile
Programs.
