Whether Pakistan will launch its own test remains to be seen. Indian and Pakistan have been involved in conflict and war since the partition of 1947, mostly over Kashmir which is claimed by both sides. India has threatened to resolve the Kashmir dispute once and for all, but Pakistan will not yield.

Backlash in Bombay: Rao falters as communal riots spread
Article Abstract:
Communal riots instigated by Hindu extremists intent on destabilizing the government of Indian PM P.V. Narasimha Rao have erupted in Bombay. The violent rioting forced Narasimha Rao to cancel a plannedvisit to Bangladesh and severely affected the city's financial market. The government's delayed response to the riots also cast doubts on the willingness of the ruling Congress party leaders to cast aside personal differences in the face of such crises.
