India exploded the ‘peaceful’ atom bomb in 1974.
My reasoning is that it wanted to live in peace with Pakistan.
What do you think were the reasons it did’nt attack Pakistan, when it had the upper hand.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Americans sent a warship as a warning into the Indian ocean and the Indians didnt want the war to escalate.. I doubt the other countries would have stood by while the reamining parts of Pakistan were taken over.
Peace is not something I would expect from India, unless its politically adventageous...
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Pak patriot, he is not asking the history of 1971 but 1974. correct yourself.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Oh sorry... Didnt read it carefully was in a hurry..
Well, I dont know, India I dont think had the capibilty of usng the bomb at the time. And I dont think they were trying to use it against Pakistan, but rather they had ttwo moptives..
One was glory, and two to keep Pakistan and possibly China and maybe even the US on their toes..
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
How many bombs did India have?
My main guess is because the international reaction to a nuclear strike would have been bad for India. By 1974 Pakistan still had strong relations with the USA, and the USA's reaction to a nuclear strike on Pakistan would have been hard to guess for the Indian leadership.
Given that, as has been mentioned, the USA hinted of the use force on India in 1971, there was a small chance of US retaliation to a 1974 nuclear strike that India was unwilling to risk, and it was certainly unwilling to risk the international community's response to the re-introduction of nuclear warfare.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
mAd_ScIeNtIsT , as per many of your posts, I really beleive that you have sense.
Here I must tell you that we are not jihadis.
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
I’m sure you’re not, but India has almost always been ruled by political parties with strong nationalistic sentiment, which is every bit as dangerous.
Manmohan’s Singh’s administration is, at least in my life’s experience, the sole Indian government that I’ve seen ever resist flaring up into nationalistic drum-beating. Though even then, it’s a young administration so who knows what the future will hold.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
It is not easy for any country to use atomic weapons (for no reason) in modern age.
Other than that India had no upper hand over Pakistan during 1974. Pakistan had enough forces to protect it and there was no anti-governmetn movement operational (as it was in Bangladesh) to make things easy for India.
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
I’ve been thinking, could it be because they ran out of vege oil? or teh actual oil shortage in 1974 maybe GDP hiting down low in 1974.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Because the dumb monkey coding bhindians have still not figured out how to miniaturize the atomic device....The devices that they exploded are all technology demonstrators and consist of huge lumbering pieces of equipment/machinery which cannot be weaponized....Therefore, Indian was never and still is in no position to threaten Pakistan with nuclear weapons....
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Very good point.
I take back my earlier theory. In 1974, India almost certainly did not have a weaponisable nuclear warhead.
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
So you meant that India could nuke Pakistan in 1974 if it had a regular device.
Friend, again you are disappointing me about your common sense.
You know CheGueva…these dumb monkey coding bhindians know many decorative words for Pakistan and its high jumping people.
You will have to double-triple the jumping height if we do not follow the decorum and tell you all selective words in your honor.
Be careful!
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
And what makes you think that people like Narinder Modi, Vajaypaee, Bal Thackrey, Togadia, Advani, Bajrang Dal leader, RSS leader etc etc are ANY better than Jihadis??? And if you claim that these people are elected memebers of parliament then it makes them even WORSE, it proves that they are not just bunch of brainwashed individuals but they have backing of millions of people of similar mentality. How can an animal like Modi be elected again with heavy majority after committing attrocities in Gujrat??? How can the criminals like Advani and Vajaypaee hold the TOP two positions in INDIA??? DEMOCRACY???
Have you ever bothered to check Hindu websites such as hinduunity.org???
If these guys are any better than those Jihadis, then you definitely need a brain scan to detect the SICKNESS inside.
At least the so called jihadis don’t rule our country unlike your sickos.

Very seriously who or rather what was Zia. He was the embodiment of good governace and secularism I suppose.
Re: Why India did'nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
^^ You got that right, except for the secularism part....No matter what you say about the jihadis...they've never gone on a pogrom of ethnic cleansing of the minorities a la BJP/Congress and its cohorts with the support of the goverment machinery....There is no equivalent of the Dehli riots of '84 (3,000 sikhs massacred), Bombay of '92 (1000 muslims massacred), or Gujrat of 2002 (2000 muslims massacred) in Pakistan......
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
are you kidding me? what about the massacre of 300,000 bengalis massacred by pakistani government’s official armed forces in 1970-71?
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
CheGuerva….
Can you tell us following…..
- How did you successfully eliminate the minorities in Pakistan? (The minorities ratio was more than 10% of the total population of (West) Pakistan in 1950 and now it has come down to 2 %.)
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
And you DONT think the rest of our posts make sense!!! I think my posts are quite informative:)
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
The riots were perpatrated by MOBS.. These are Indian private citizens attacking their own people… And it didnt happen once, but repetadly.. Im willing to bet it wil happen again aswell..
Bangladesh was a crime commited by the Army, not by the people.. I dont think anyone blames Indian people for the crimes of thier army.. (Although they are guilty of compacency).
Re: Why India did’nt finish off Pakistan in 1974
Actually Indian sickos are Hindu fanatics voted into power and kept in power by Indians themselves. Atleast Zia being a dictator wasnt put in power by the people..
You are guilty through the workings of democracy itself…
