Historically southern Asian countries like India, China and Pakistan became agree to support the nuclear free zone at all the levels but due to some developed nations policies, it is still pending. Formally, all these three south Asian nations, still, rigid to proliferation of nuclear weapons but due to international competitive environment, this goal has been away from it direction.

Recently, China became a powerful country in the world and started to give challenges to United State America in the entire sector in an open competition. This is a breakthrough to many other nations but USA is affected more than others. Russia is also in trouble as China is challenging all the big and developed nations.

India still wants to remain the nuclear weapon as China and Pakistan both are biggest rival in the world. Day by day China encroach the Indian border in Himalayan region and there is border tension in Indian Army. Since both Pakistan and China have nuclear weapons, so it is pressure to India to continue its nuclear testing to maintain the peace on border. In other words, it can say that India needs nuclear weapons only because both the rivals China and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. Strategically India’s nuclear power / weapons are maintaining the peace in south Asian region. China needs more nuclear power as China is major competitor of United State America in other hand India needs nuclear weapon to maintain the peace.

After 1971 defeat from India, Pakistan is more desperate about the security of Pakistan, so their government is more attentive and expending their nuclear power. Pakistan took nuclear weapon as guaranty that if they hold nuclear weapon, both China and India cannot harm Pakistan. Pakistan also expending their other military power and buy regularly other military weapons from Russia, America and China. In other way, it can say that Pakistan will not stop proliferation of nuclear weapons for long run.
