I've seen this bought up at times, though at the times I've seen it it was just mentioned for a brief moment and never mentioned again.

So, let's think for a moment and wonder what would happen in an Indo-Pakistan nuclear war. It nearly happened three times:

Kargil War, 1999: Great way to destroy the innocence of the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

2001 Indian parliament attack and 2001-2002 skirmishes: Three months after 9/11 and after Pakistan joins on as an ally to the US against the Taliban, the 2001 Indian parliament attack put both nations on high alert, and for a time there were skirmishes. If a nuclear war happens it would shake up the world still trying to get over 9/11.

2008: After the Mumbai bombings India was put on high alert. Some prank caller/idiot thought that it would be hilarious to pretend to be the Indian External Affairs minister and threaten the Pakistani government. The Pakistani government was put on high alert and a nuclear war could had happened, all because of a stupid buffoon.

So, what would be the aftermath of nuclear war if it had happened in 1999, 2001/2002 or 2008?
