Nuclear war between India and Pakistan can trigger global famine

A nuclear war between South Asian rivals India and Pakistan would trigger a global famine that would immediately kill 2 billion people around the world and spell the “end of human civilization,” according to a study by an anti-nuclear group. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) also warned that even a limited nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan would destroy crop yields, damage the atmosphere and throw global food markets into chaos. China, the world’s most populous country, would face a catastrophic food shortage that would lead to enormous social convulsions. » more here «

The Consequences of Nuclear Conflict between India and Pakistan

The months-long military standoff between India and Pakistan intensified several weeks ago when suspected Islamic militants killed more than 30 people at an Indian base in the disputed territory of Kashmir. As U.S. diplomatic pressure to avert war intensifies, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is going to India and Pakistan this week to discuss with his South Asian counterparts the results of a classified Pentagon study that concludes that a nuclear war between these countries could result in 12 million deaths. » more here «

750404mw.may Conversations
Tamala Krsna: Next war…?
Prabhupada: Your country, America, is very much eager to kill these Communists. And the Communists are also very eager. So very soon there will be war. AND PERHAPS INDIA WILL BE THE GREATEST SUFFERER.
Tamala Krsna: Greatest…?
Devotees: Sufferer.
Srutakirti: Sufferer.
Prabhupada: Because America is aiming to start the war from India.
Devotee: Oh!
Prabhupada: Yes. Because India and Russia, they are…
Brahmananda: They are… Friendship.
Prabhupada: No. Side by side. If the war is started from India…
Rupanuga: So India will become…
Prabhupada: And the Russians are ready here already, I have heard, with soldiers and… Not soldiers. I mean to say.
Hamsaduta: Missiles.
Prabhupada: Yes. They are also vigilant.
Visnujana: Will that help our preaching, Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: Preaching will be very nice after the war when both of them, especially Russia, will be finished.
Rupanuga: They want to make India the battleground?
Paramahamsa: Also, Prabhupada, Atreya Rsi said that the Arabs are preparing for the war. They’re buying billions and billions of dollars worth of missiles and jets and tanks from America.
Prabhupada: Yes, so they are being prepared. War will soon start.
Visnujana: The Arab men all go to America to be trained in the armed forces there.
Prabhupada: Hm?
Visnujana: In all the armed forces centers in America, they train the Arab nations to fight.
Prabhupada: Oh.
Visnujana: They let the young men come into the U.S.A. to learn how to use the missiles and everything.
Pancadravida: Recently, this Bhutto of Pakistan, he was very happy because they were talking about lifting a ten-year holding on arms from the United States, and now, they say, Pakistan will soon get arms from America.
Prabhupada: Yes, they are getting. They are already getting. THE PAKISTAN WILL START THE WAR WITH INDIA. And then everything will be…
Devotees: Oh! Whew!
Devotee: Pakistan will start a war… (devotees talking among themselves.)
Pancadravida: They have started the war maybe eight times.
Prabhupada: (Aside:) Hmm? No, we can go.
Pancadravida: What will the devotees do while the war is going on?
Prabhupada: Chant Hare Krsna.
Devotees: Jaya! (laughter)
Prabhupada: You have got only business.
Pancadravida: Will we stay in the cities or will…?
Prabhupada: We can stay anywhere. We have got our Mayapur, Vrndavana. But the danger is the government will say that “All Americans go away.” That is the danger. I am thinking of that position. What shall I do at that time?
Pusta Krsna: Take Indian citizenship?
Prabhupada: Eh?
Pusta Krsna: Indian citizenship?
Prabhupada: If you take, it is very nice. Then they will ask you to go to war. (laughter)
Tamala Krsna: Will this war spread to many different countries and continents?
Prabhupada: The actual war will be between America and Russia.
Rupanuga: What about British devotees, British citizens? Would the British be asked to leave, British citizens? Commonwealth citizens?
Prabhupada: Britishers are now finished. They have no importance.
Pancadravida: He means if British devotees came to India, would they be asked to leave.
Prabhupada: No, no, I mean to say… I am speaking of politics. Devotees are the same… Oh, British citizens…? They may…
Rupanuga: You say the Americans might have to leave. What about the British?
Prabhupada: But they, generally, during wartime…
Visnujana: Everyone.
Prabhupada: …they ask all foreigners.
Tamala Krsna: Oh, I see.
Jayapataka: During the last war, the Christian Mission of Krishnanagar, they had many Italian priests also, but the government gave them permission to stay, although India was at war with Italians.
Prabhupada: In the missionary consideration, they can do that.
Jayadvaita: What will be the position with the Chinese if the Russians and Americans fight?
Prabhupada: Well I am not a politician. (laughter) China does not war, not want war. They want to…
Tamala Krsna: Develop.
Prabhupada: Construct.
Rupanuga: They’re not ready.
Prabhupada: Yes. They are not very much interested in war.
Paramahamsa: Srila Prabhupada, you said that this war will destroy the demonic civilization.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Paramahamsa: DOES THAT MEAN THAT IT’LL DESTROY ALL THE CITIES AND ALL THE INDUSTRIES?
Prabhupada: WAR MEANS DESTRUCTION OF ALL CITIES. THAT IS NATURAL. YOU HAVE GOT EXPERIENCE IN EUROPE SO MANY TIMES.
Hamsaduta: Cities and industries.
Prabhupada: Eh?
Hamsaduta: Cities and industries.
Prabhupada: YES, THAT IS THE MAIN TARGET.

Prabhupada: Very important verse, hm? Tad abhud asad isa-riktam. Everything will be null and void when there is no God. That’s all. The modern civilization has got everything, but without God consciousness, any moment it will be finished. And there are symptoms… Any moment. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT, THIS GODLESS CIVILIZATION, AS SOON AS THERE IS DECLARATION OF WAR, THE AMERICA IS PREPARED TO DROP ATOM BOMB, RUSSIA IS… THE FIRST NATION WHO WILL DROP THE ATOM BOMB, HE WILL BE VICTORIOUS. NOBODY WILL BE VICTORIOUS, BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE READY TO DROP. THE AMERICA WILL BE FINISHED AND RUSSIA WILL BE FINISHED. THAT IS THE POSITION. So you may make advancement of civilization, scientific improvement, economic development, but if it is godless, at any moment it will be finished. At any moment.
