You raise a good point. But national security has its place, especially when two nuclear-armed neighbors have invaded you in the past.

We can build-up national security and enhance focus on internal problems at the same time.

For example, there have been talks of cooperation with Israel on the water-shortage issue:

Pakistan is nowhere near strong enough to defeat India in a conventional war. India would almost certainly lose a conventional war with China. All 3 nations have nukes. Doing anything more than maintaining that equilibrium is a waste of resources.

It's difficult to predict considering that Pak has vowed to use tactical nukes on any invading Indian force. But yes, that's the agreed upon conclusion[1].

Maintaing the equilibrium is obviously good for peace. But there are reports of India and Pakistan beefing up nukes.

True. But in a nuclear conflict there are no winners.
