Abstract	This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of India's potential cyber warfare strategies against Pakistan. It will delve into the critical infrastructure vulnerabilities within Pakistan, specifically focusing on its power generation and fuel stock sectors, which represent potential strategic targets. Furthermore, the analysis will consider the complex geopolitical context, including the nature and extent of external support that Pakistan receives from countries such as China, Iran, Turkey, and North Korea, as well as the influence of various non-state affiliated hacker groups. A crucial component of this paper is the examination of India's advanced technological capabilities in the cyber domain, including the rumored potential of the Kilo Ampere Linear Injector (KALI) and other electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons. Finally, the paper will address the significant strategic and ethical implications associated with India employing such cyber warfare tactics and will outline potential cyber warfare options that India might consider in its strategic calculus.
