Hi Shabbir, It is evident from your message that u are either ignorant about indian nuclear program or a traitor. First indian nuclear program: 1. we had achieved complete miniaturisation of warhead design and just 5 explosions were enough to validate our model. America and russia had to do around 1000's of such explosion and pakistan's (made in china) nukes had one dud. 2. We can solve our energy problem only if we extensively use thorium (for which we have largest resrves in the world). But the technology is almost complete and shall take further time of few years for large scale use. It is already being used to run 3 prototype reactors. We must not depend upon america for our energy supplies else they shall start arm twisting us for their gains (exactly what they did to us in 1965 by stopping wheat. Lal bahadur shashtri had to ask nation to fast on monday). 3. America is no ones friend. Who needs enemies if one has friends like america: look at terroristan next door. 4. American interests (unipolarity) do not match with those of indian (multipolarity). 5. We are a nation with advanced technology so why should we be a junior partner. vandemateram(which u are ashamed to say)
