All those who are asking this question -"what will a poor man do with a nuclear bomb?" have to answer one question.
Did they ask the same question in 1998 when Vajpayee Govt conducted the nuclear tests?
Was nuclear bomb more important than Roti in 19998? Or is it just the itch of the BJP sympethizers that is coming in open now?
I must put it on record that some nuclear scientists who in 19998 said that nuclear tests were not required, were beaten in Chennai by the saffron brigade.
Manmohan Singh with solid backing of Sonia & Congress got the best deal from NSG. Short-sighted BJPites have developed stomoch-ache. That's all.
When Rajeev & Sam Pitroda were taking this country through computerization, the short-sighted Vajpayee & Advani were asking the same question at the top of their voice - "what can a poor man do with a computer?"

The topic does not have anything political in it, thankfully. Then why are you raising the Cong flag and berating the BJP? Your place is not here but rather on the street... to make noise that your political masters want you too. Noise made here will not be heard by them.

why was 1974 explosion was carried out and this ostracisation from nuclear commerce took place? Without 1998 explosion this concession would have not come through.

To bring political matter into highlight, what's the reason of bringing this NSG towards the fag end of the congress govt.? to gain vote of trust for the next election ? Why not much earlier ?
Talking of inflation, increase of electric power from nuclear reactors would obviously increase the economy for India on a long run if not immediately. Uninterrupted power supply to all homes is still a dream for we Indians. Some day the dal would not cost Rs.60 anymore, although it does, earning power would have also increased considerably...

Was the INFLATION THIS high in the last 16 years.. No it was not.. So you have no right to involve parties and make this a political issue... End of the "Govt" is responsible for making sure that there is rise in the inflation rate and the current Govt has not be able to deliver inspite of 2 well known financial experts playing it at the center and one can denie that fact...
