I just cannot understand what is the great stuff in recognition as a Nuclear Power..Will it give food to the teaming millions of the Nation? will it stop the curses of Terrorism, or will it only help the booming weapon market, to aid US? Gone are the days of Militory mussle power. To my knowledge, an enemy nearby can prove more useful than a friend(?) far away. That too, a country like US, which is the only country in the world which shamelessly excersised nuclear power on millions of human beings , is far from a good allay for India. Have you ever dreamt that if US was left alone with its imperial terrorism in a Unipolar world, whether countries , including India could sustain retaining its cultural and ecornomic identity, as it is there now, had USSR not been there in the world? Going by power is the philosophy for cowards, not for a Nation like India
