The idea behind India's attempted restoration of an independent Tibet isn't necessarily a religious one. They'd be looking for a justification to cripple their main adversary (the other continental superpower, China), take disputed territory in the process, and pass it off as a justified war to liberate a peaceful theocratic nation from the big-bad-commies while simultaneously placing that nation within their sphere of influence. It's a power-grab neatly disguised as a just and necessary war, really.Anyway, I think I'll go forward with the limited nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India, and will probably try to tie both wars together to make it a it more pitched and hectic. The spot will certainly be a hotspot for conflict, both before and after the start of the RP, I'm sure. Anyway, Africa will certainly be getting the economic window you spoke of I suppose, now that India's going to be hit hard. Well, I'll start researching a bit more and try to weave together an equally hectic and believable situation for the war. I had originally been planning to RP a moderately powerful, somewhat stable, and very hegemonic India when I claimed it, but it seems that you've easily steered me towards wanting to craft a more dire and dystopian setting for my nation.

If nukes are used, expect Iranian intervention. I've set up Iran to be some sort of apologist power that, after overthrowing the Ayatollah in what essentially was [i]Bay of Pigs 2: It Actually Worked This Time![/i], the reinstated Shah is trying to stop all this instability and place Iran on the world stage as a "good guy" who goes in to wartorn countries and helps, mostly to make up for the Ayatollah's decades of dickery. They have troops in Turkmenistan that did a highly publicized government-building campaign in 2038, and I'm doing troops into Iran now. It's realistic that peacekeepers would be in Pakistan and India to help, especially if it's been nuked. Reconstruction, aid, decontamination, etc. Iran was neutral during the war (too focused on its internal issues like a growing revolt against the new hardliner Ayatollah who basically killed all the moderate policies set in motion by Hassan Rouhani during the previous Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reign) and it's had a pretty strong, self-sustaining economy (that you can see them building right now) because of the sanctions that cut it off from the world - this removed a globalization aspect that would have crippled it otherwise. This creates the situation where Iran is a strong regional power with a mindset to curry favor with its neighbors, bring in a new era that's distinct from Islamic Iran's hostility, and repair instability that could threaten it.

TL;DR: Expect Iran to be in your shit.
