Conclusion
While the nuclear weapons of India and Pakistan are small in number and relatively weak compared to most nuclear forces, their effects would be devastating.
A theoretical scenario of nuclear war in South Asia causes mass famine, starvation of billions and millions to die in the blasts.
To prevent this horrible scenario, great advances are being made to promote peace in the Indian subcontinent.
To answer this, we must see the quality and quantity of weapons owned, and the quality of the defense systems. We can also see what is preventing this nuclear war.
Pakistan
India
The blasts would incinerate all organic matter at the epicenter, releasing 5 megatons of black carbon into the atmosphere.
Black carbon is extremely good at absorbing heat, and the black carbon in the atmosphere would decrease world temperature by 1-2 degrees Celsius.
This change in temperature decreases wheat production by 50% and rice production by 20%, forcing 2 billion people into starvation.
While India and Pakistan have about 200 nukes in total, only about half would be able to strike due to defense systems.
About 100 million people would likely be killed in the initial blasts of the nuclear war, not to mention those killed in subsequent combat or fallout.
