/\/\ No we cannot. Not with a nuclear armed rouge nation. We still do not possess the capabilities.

Instead of surgical strikes why not carry out covert operations of hunting terrorist as israel carries out

the only solid reason pakistan will have to launch nuclear weapons on india is when Indian Navy blocks karach port and if IA occupies territory as far as lahore city ( which isnt much IA was very near to lahore city during 1965 war)
plus whatever will be left of India after first nuclear strike will wipe out Pakistan from the face of the earth

Common misconception, "India will wipe out pakistan from the face of this earth". Only two countries posses nukes to do that. US and Russia, rest is all make yourself happy stories. With about a 100 nukes, yes we will be able to destroy large parts of Pak, but not wipe it off the map.

Cold Start was devised so that we could limit the war to being conventional. No Indo Pak war can or will last for more than a couple of weeks. I am talking of a full scale war and not a Kargil style one. Reasons, War reserves of Pak and also International pressure. The latter being more important as if we consider Chinese support, war reserves of Pak can be sustained.

India cannot use its entire arsenal on Pakistan. India has other security concerns. If we consider major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi which is all we need to target, we need 12 nukes. That would break the back of Pakistan. If you lob all 100, you would be wasting nukes.

Pak war reserves are certainly not as big as India. 2 weeks is what i think a war will last between the two countries. International intervention will limit a full war is what i think. That is why Cold start was adopted. Achieve shallow penetration and head for the table.
