I know this sounds absurd, and it is, but it is a situation that has emerged in a Cold War forum game I'm running (Pakistani player has amassed troops at borders of Afghanistan and India and is holding Chinese military advisors hostage, and intends to burn down the capital in the event of invasion.)

I'm most interested in what would happen within Pakistan itself in the event of an invasion, what sort of separatist trends and internal political forces would emerge. The Soviets in game are to occupy the Pashtun regions of the country while the Chinese and Indians intend to occupy the rest (obviously none of this would be a permanent occupation, just done in the course of defeating Pakistan.)

Also I operate on the assumption that the US and UK won't respond with ground troops, which is also quite unlikely, but that's the situation that has emerged.
