You are absolutely right that India should be self relient in Nuke technology and your suggestion to rely on Russia is also good.But as for as India is concerned, Nuclear Technology issue can be solved i hope in india itself by our talented scientists, but we struck about Nuclear Fuel like Uranium , Plutonium etc. If i am right there are almost 45 countries who export these substances but they work under strict International rules and hence even if India develops the technology indegeniously, it has to rely on these countries for the fuel.So there is a sort of dependency for the fuel even if one has technology.
