Pakistan has too few ground weapons, such as drones, ballistic missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles. If the competition is about continuously throwing weapons at each other from a distance, it is obvious that Pakistan cannot win.
That info has never been revealed, not even slightly. Nobody knows how many of these Pakistan has.
Several years ago India did a test shot on Pak using Brahmos without the explosive warhead. It went through the defense layer and hit some rural area.
Indians said it was testing Pakistani defense. Pakistan said it intercepted the Brahmos and landed it safely in Pakistan for inspection. You can believe either one but handing your weapon to the enemy, totally intact doesn't sound very reasonable.
And as I and many have said already, the best thing for Pakistan to invest in would be the economy. Focus on improving domestic stability, building up a manufacturing base, and wealth creation first before investing more into military. Economic investments will by far yield the greatest dividends in terms of Pakistan's security. Foreign enterprises and factories in Pakistani cities may prove far more effective at warding off Indian missile strikes than AD.
The last time somebody credible tried to value the annual wealth generation of Pakistan Army's milbus, the figure quoted was +$20 billion. That was in 2007. Something most people are unaware of; the military's own revenue streams dwarf the government-allocated budget.
As others have mentioned, traditional ballistic missiles follow high and predictable trajectory, whereas cruise missiles (not even "stealth" cruise missiles, first generation Tomahawks can do this) are maneuvering targets that also fly at very low altitudes to mask their presence from ground based radars by utilizing terrain (especially effective in mountainous terrain, which makes up half of Pakistan). Hence the best way to spot cruise missiles is via aerial radars, and even then most large SAMs struggle to hit targets at lower altitudes.
I read a report years ago, maybe from FAS.org, that since the 90s, many countries including Iran and NK have developed maneuverable ballistic missiles, especially in the terminal phase. The Iran missile strikes on Israel recently showed one example of this - just before hitting the ground, the ballistic missile changed it's trajectory.

Communal, religious and sectarian violence has begun again in India, with BJP Hindus targeting Muslims. Here, the Indian Army spokesperson (who is Muslim) was targetted by Modi's BJP.
Seems like frustration of lost battle. Couldn't beat Pakistan, so direct hate inwards on India's own Muslims.
