India is economically one of the fastest growing nations in the world and if this high growth rate can be sustained then it can easily modernize its armed services. The reason why India has been trying to arm itself is because it wants to see itself as a major super power in the world and the evidence of this fact can be sought in the new modifications which are being proposed in the military doctrine and India's defence shopping list. This paper aims at examining India's defence modernization and expansion schemes which are set to be fulfilled by 2020 and to draw a comparison of India's existing and forecasted defence inventory with Pakistan's defence inventory in order to better understand how these military modernization and expansion programs, India can use as a policy tool to undermine Pakistan's national security.
