Being an Indian, I got a 100%. Haha Feels good.

The ironic thing is that heat and thirst is killing people in Pakistan right now. And these nukes are supposed to protect them - but cannot satisfy the basic needs? I'm sure that poor soul taking his last desperate breath, is not too proud of these Nukes.

8 out 0f 10. Got last 2 wrong

8/10

one thing i know for sure, these nuclear weapons cannot feed the poor, or can they.

scored 80%

One thing I kbow that the nuclear race initiated by india in south asia has failed to feed poor indians, No. Country for surrogate mothers

I think Nukes are dangerous even for electricity but weapons should be banned in all countries asap. Just imagine if any country used it as a last hope of survival then not only theneighbouring countries would be destroyed but the whole world could be damaged permanently. We need to learn to live and let live.

I am also nuclear expert as well Waooo.

@Kaz Yes they can, when the country is safe from rogue states, it will progress and prosperity will change the dynamics, hence producing food for all the people of the country.

Result: You're a nuclear expert 10/10!

Nuclear expert here :) . 10/10

10 out of 10 with no cheating :)

Got 8/10 being an Indian...

@Skeptic Why you Indians always try to be over smart. According to you Pakistan is a poor country and it can't save people from heat. Well what about yourself., according to you India is a prosperous country, then why in India heat and could claim hundreds of life every year. So rather then trying to be over clever, focus on your country, we can handle our issues.

Those who are going to comment against nuclear program please remember the total program as of now costed an amount less than one year corruption in Pakistan but in return this program saved us from many evils.

@Kaz Yes they can, if Pakistan did not test Nuclear weapons you would not be able to safely writing comments in air conditioned room on laptop about children feeding but protesting on roads against zionism like kashmiri's, syrians iraqians.

100 out of 100.

The second answer correctly states that Pakistan started its nucler program in 1972. The next answer incorrecctly states thta it was in response to India's tests in 1974. Obviously these are contradictory.

No one respect you despite you are a nuke power

Can't the nuclear technology be used for good by Pakistan in developing nuclear power plants and get rid of load shedding? It will bring economic prosperity.

Being an Indian, I scored 90%. Got last one wrong. After becoming nuclear, pakistan now has to worry about the safety of its weapons.....what an irony!!

8/10

Poor and shetteredless people need food and house not nuclear. If this boomb give us hunger than might we to thought about it.

@Kaiser They will keep making more and more, the question is do we follow them and how far?

100 percent on the second attempt,otherwise,it was 40 percent.hhahhahahah

what is it with Pakistan and nuclear weapons

@Tarannum S : Being a Pakistani, I congratulate you. Glad your knowledge is based on facts and not myths ;)

@Skeptic Not all of our budget is spent on nukes. Plus The 4.5 million pound apartment in London of even an information minister of Sindh (whose salary isn't even 1 lac Rs) hasn't been spend on making Nukes

The test is wrong. Turkey is a muslim majority country that also has nuclear weapons -- approximately 130 warheads at Incirlic base. The distinction is that the launch/detonation codes are under joint Turkish-US control.

Pakistani's nuclear assets is what is keeping Pakistan intact from aggressive neighbour like india. There is no doubt that the day we dump our nuclear program will be the very day india will opt for a misadventure into Pakistan. The health, education and other issues are in no way linked to our successful nuclear program. Why dont you ask yourself the all important question... Regardless of how less is allocated for education and health etc... How is that amount allocated and is it actually spent on what objective it is intended for??? It is a leaky bucket concept... no matter how much you put-in; it will all go to waste. I , along with 99.99% of Pakistanis and many other Muslims around the globe, am proud of our nuclear and missile program. I hope to God we allocate more to develop it further.

Got 10/10, Nuclear expert.

An Indian getting 100 is proof how frightened is India inspite of being four times bigger.Bigger the country bigger the destruction.This is really a good deterrent.

@Skeptic no we're really very proud of our neuclear weapon and we consider it as a blessing of God.. we'll eat grass but will never compromise on our neuclear program.

@Kaz I think they are not less than a good delight for a poor Pakistani..

nuclear deterrence certainly stop external aggression by enemy of Pakistan, we must pray for the good health of Dr. Abdul Qadeer who helped this nation to safeguard from evil eyes.

Question about " Pakistan developing nuclear weapons in response to India's nuclear test " is political and not factual. This test itself says that Pakistan ordered development of nuclear weapons in 1972 but India's nuclear test was 1974.

@Kaz ; you are a genius! Thank you for enlighting us Doctor!

Nuclear weapons of any country are only meant for bullying and serve no other purpose. Let us compete in the fields of education including girls education, population control, poverty reduction, all round sanitation, decent living conditions including medical facilities and not otherwise. So I haven't bothered to take the test at all. Best of luck.

Its funny when Pakistan tries to project itself as the savior of Muslims worldwide

Love reading comment by Indians on Dawn. Why are these people so resentful and bitter toward Pakistan? The truth is most of the people in Pakistan can be careless about the Indian nuclear program. As for the comments regarding the poverty and clean water, i completely agree we should invest more but not at the expense of country's security. Don't forget we live in a nasty neighborhood.

9/10 Nuclear Expert

i think personly ,that pakistan nuclear program is much stable than india and us because we have a particuler set of skill scientist and defence anaylst which keep uor nuclear program more accurat and stable than india and us

Being an Indian got 8/10 right except the place of test and one other, which I forgot.

And I am not even Pakistai!

@Sk What are you trying to say India started in 74 and just by starting it conduct test. It's not possible. It must have been started way before that.

It's matter of declaration or acceptance; otherwise Iran must have the nuclear capability as well as the weapons.

@Tarannum S congrats. U seem book warmer. Best wishes for ur future from my side

@Ashraf Choudhry Its just awareness. Ask us about any other country, we may be equally good.

@Ibrahim We don't believe we are perfect or even close to perfection. No comparisons. We only believe that we are going in the right direction and working hard toward it.

@Muheet Thank you but it is just awareness. Apart answers to most questions were quite obvious if you read history of any nation.

@Kaiser "One thing I kbow that the nuclear race initiated by india in south asia has failed to feed poor indians, No. Country for surrogate mothers" Bunch of loosers, why care about poor Indians. Focus on beating India in arms race or in wars. You lost all battles conventional or un-conventional. We split you into two countries and bested you in ur un-conventional wars.

I scored 90%..But the irony people are dying due to lack of basic thing,food,proper health care,education ,terrorism.Soviet union collapsed due to economy crisis

Nuclear weapons are not for use, they are just a deterrant. So to keep them is just a status symbol. Is it pertinent to have the status symbol- a false prestige, when people don't have even basic amenities?

@ Others - I do not think Indians won 1965 war. According to Pakistan,Kashmir is a disputed territory and according to India it is integral part of India and Pakistan has occupied a part of Kashmir. If that is a case then you Indians are big losers, could not get back your area from Pakistan. 1971 was a different situation. It was Indian conspiracy and took advantage of internal fight between East and West Pakistan. India is well known for its intriguing policies.

It is correct that India mastered its bomb in 1974 and we started in 1972; but this is also a fact that we started our program in response to India's; because we had the intelligence that India is in progress of mastering the technology with the covert help of some other nations and sooner or later it will complete. So by looking at the future Indian threat posture we decided to initiate our program also to deter India from taking any stupid and adventurous action against Pakistan.

There is no need of nukes. We need love and prosperous life.

@Kaiser That is pakistani rhetoric... When China exploded one in 1964, India had enough Uranium to explode one but we did not feel threatened by the Chinese nukes at that time. During 1971 war when US, UK came barreling down our throats with Nukes, Indian leaders realized what nuclear power meant in terms of deterrence and had to seek Russian help. That is when India nuclearized. It is funny that Pakistan seems to have selective amnesia about both Russia and China who also had nukes long before India had in 1974 and hides behind the geographic demarcation of South Asia; knowing well that both Russian and Chinese delivery systems could reach pakistan without any problem.

Got 9 out of ten. Have to say Khurram desert was a guess but turned out to be correct.

It was too easy

9/10 :)

Proud of Pakistan. Always on top, 68 years old and already a recognised regional power. No other country in the world can claim that achievement.

To all Indian Critics. According to UN report by Dr. Dean Nelson. "In absolute terms, 41.6 per cent of India's 1.1 billion people earned less than 78 pence per day compared with 22.6 per cent of Pakistan's 173 million." It's not something hidden that India has a more poorer population than Pakistan. Despite having higher GDP, FDI, exports and annual budget than Pakistan, India is unable to fight the hunger. What to talk about Pakistan which 1/5 in size of Indian in terms of population. Some more statistics for your satisfaction (Nation Master) India: Population below poverty line 29.8% Ranked 19th. 34% more than Pakistan Pakistan|: 22.3% Ranked 2nd.

We absolutely need nuclear weapons to ensure our survival and security. Do we also need investment in education, health care and the economy? Of course we do, but how are dead people supposed to benefit from these things? Our existential security comes first; our education, health care and economy come second, that is a bitter pill we must swallow.

The money and resources Pakistan spends on its nuclear weapons is very small next to what it loses due to the corruption of our politicians and bureaucrats. There are poor people in Pakistan dying of hunger and thirst, but scrapping our nuclear arsenal is not going to feed them, ending the corruption of our government and strengthening our state institutions will. The link people draw between our nuclear weapons and our starving population is completely false and illogical.

Development of nuclear weapons was an achievement for Pakistan.

It's hilarious to see how Indians are so obsessed with Pakistan's N Program. All I need to know about Pakistan's N Program is that it's in safe hands. I didn't even bother doing the quiz as I trust the people who are handling the N assets .

Nuclear and Missile development have proved ability of our scientist & Pakistani nation but to build good image and respectable position in the world we must have emphasis on economic growth and 100% literacy rate.

Scientist! wow...10/10

70% .a little disappointing for me..

Easy test .. pakistan zindabad

@Tarannum S hahaha If you are perfect then why did't you answer the question, why heat and cold claim hundreds of lives every year in India. Do't worry get one more chance and do answer this time,

90%, from Bangladesh

turkey has nukes too

@khan Turkey has a nuclear-sharing agreement with the US. That means American nuclear weapons are stationed in Turkish military bases to give a nuclear response to any nuclear aggression against Turkey. Those nuclear weapons are to be operated and controlled only by Americans. Countries like Germany, Italy and Japan have the same arrangement with the US, which is why those countries' security is completely assured, and those countries can afford to spend their resources on their economies instead of their militaries. That's why those countries are economically prosperous. By contrast, Pakistan is left to fend for itself against a horde of power and threatening enemies so it absolutely needs to invest in nukes first and education/health care/economy later.

I think the government must pay much more attention to the development and deployment of mirvable icbms with a much longer reach then the current rockets on hand. thisis to deter Isreal and its patron the US from playing fancy games withthe current nuclear arsenal.

10/10

@Logical Indian Pakistan is not worried about its nuclear programme going into terrorists hands. Pakistan' nuke programme is far safer than that of India. We have not met any incident yet but India has.

@Skeptic But then, more than three lakh farmers have also killed themselves in neighboring India, due to penurious conditions. How about a little chest beating on that one too!

I am an Indian and got 90%.

@sultan hasan khan Please enlighten us about stability and Accuracy of Pakistani Nuclear program you talked about which is better than India & US.

@Ashraf Choudhry Yes we are frightened because of that last question. Read again n think abt it. Hope we develop our Missile defense program maximum efficiently go counter the threat from your nukes.

i think this knowledge will not help any one in indopak. weapons of mass destruction. do we have any idea what kind of destructive force it got..it chills my body...let us have the quiz how to get rid of them....

@Sunil Wow!! what a logic! Do u think India developed its nuclear bomb overnight? It's very right that Pakistan initiated its nuclear program in response to India, which conducted its tests in 1974 but was in process of developing bomb since long about which Pakistan was definitely aware...

I am Indian but perhaps perfect in Pakistan Affairs

I feel proud to be a Pakistani and i got 10/10 · Scored 100% to become nuclear Expert. Result: You're a nuclear expert

@Imran well done bro.

Loaded questions... All those who got 10/10 are dangerous people. At least 2 questions were loaded. Those who answered correctly are basically biased people.
