I think it would be better for the Kashmiris if nobody dropped an atomic bomb on them in the first place. Just a guess.

I'd bet that not every Kashmiri has the means to get a basement shelter built and stocked in the next couple of weeks. Maybe they can just google "collateral damage" to prepare for their future.
