"Two historic rivals are at their closest to open conflict in years, after Indian jets carried out strikes on Pakistani territory on Tuesday. But how do the subcontinental powers stack up against each other? While Islamabad presents itself as an equal to New Delhi in their diplomatic dealings, India's advantage in economic size ($2.689 trillion nominal GDP versus $307 USD billion in 2018) and population (1.3 billion against 200 million) is proportionately translated to military dominance that Pakistan can only counter by spending financial resources it can ill afford…."

The last time they fought. India's command structure was a serious set back. interesting to see what fixes were put in place. But India's MBT readiness seems to be at 50% according to another article on TMP. might be another stalemate. |

Comparing populations is not a good measurement tool. A motivation and willingness to fight would be one.
India would suffer more economically. So they might agree to a negotiated peace faster.
Logistics as to who would supply each side with spare parts, ammo and repair of damage items would all be factors.
The war would be fought more in areas other than the combat lines. |

With a prolonged war, would India have to worry about its Muslim population sympathizing with Pakistan? |
