Indian soldiers patrol streets in India-held Kashmir. They have been frequent targets for attack by Muslims in Kashmir who would prefer to be part of Pakistan.

Both countries possess nuclear weapons. A great concern for the international community is that Pakistan will fall under the control of militant/terrorist Islamists. Would they use nuclear weapons against India?

There are Islamic militant/terrorist groups, based in Pakistan, who are determined to drive India out of Kashmir. They see this as a Jihad – a war in defense of the Muslims in Kashmir.
