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.
