I agree with you to a certain extent....but India already posesses nuclear weapons for self defense. Having 10x or more than the current stockpile will not make us any safer... BTW, no one is stopping us from developing our weapons further. To really raise the standard of living of our countrymen, it would be much more helpful if we can provide them the basic amenties of life - health care, clean water, education, electricity and so on. The deal provides India with crucial supplies of nuclear fuel to egnerate electricity for her people and her industries. Imagine living in your house not knowing what electricity is.... or running ur business with power cuts 20 hours a day. Tell those people about more and more nuclear weapons and the ability of conduct more nuclear explosions. Would they understand?
