Why the UK Should Work to Prevent Nuclear Conflict Between India and Pakistan
RUSI Newsbrief, 21 February 2019
Tim Willasey-Wilsey
The risk of nuclear war between India and Pakistan presents dangerous global implications and should be considered as a serious threat, particularly since Pakistan’s acquisition of the short-range Nasr missile. Quite apart from the enormous human cost, there would also be significant environmental and migratory consequences.

Israel and India: The Ties that Bind
Commentary, 23 January 2018Joseph Millis
A moribund Middle East peace process means that Israel is finding it increasingly tough to do business with its biggest trading partner, the EU. So, the self-proclaimed ‘Start-Up Nation’ is looking elsewhere for deals, and India fits the bill nicely.

Commentary, 6 January 2017Haylea Campbell
The war on cash – and especially against high-denomination banknotes – has gathered pace over the past year. It is a campaign in which countries have taken different approaches with differing results, but one which is likely to be continued and spread world-wide.

"“Kashmir, which is in the midst of some of the worst unrest in years, will undoubtedly feature in Nawaz Sharif’s thinking,” said Emily Winterbotham, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies in London. “The next army chief will also have to look internally at the extremist threat” and preside over the military’s withdrawal from operations in the tribal areas, she said."

""In truth, the strike itself does not represent a radical new policy. India conducted local cross-border raids through the 1990s and 2000s, usually as reprisals for particular attacks. But this high-altitude, tit-for-tat war on the Line of Control, which divides Indian and Pakistani-controlled parts of Kashmir, was largely unknown to the Indian public, who grew frustrated at their government's apparent inaction. India's decision to go public in dramatic fashion is therefore a break with the past.""

"As well as reverberating across the border, Mr Modi’s tough talk is intended for a domestic audience, as New Delhi tries to deflect blame for the current crisis in Kashmir, where at least 66 people have been killed, thousands injured, and most of the population confined to their homes under a strict curfew since early July. “If you can point to Pakistan as the fundamental cause of the problem, you are exculpating yourself,” said Shashank Joshi, a senior fellow at London’s Royal United Services Institute."
