Oh come on, most software/hardware developers do not come from India. That's pretty far fetched to say. There is a significant number but very few end up in high profile jobs (relative to the number of non-indians/pakistanis that hold these types of jobs).

And just because the software is cheap and shipping is less doesn't make it more likely for them to have better computers. You don't take into account that their buying power is much lower than ours because they have all sorts of import duties on computer parts in those countries.

Here's a question you're not asking, though, How much of India or Pakistan would be affected by a "cyberwar". Although there are pockets within the country that are affluent and have a lot of modern things, the fact is that most of the country still lives a very simple existance. I would venture to say that a cyberwar would have very little affect on a country with such limited reliance on a telecommunications infrastructure.
