Even if the nuclear deal does not permit another nuclear bomb testing by India, why do we have to stop the nuclear deal. Because. 1. Now we dont need any test. Then why should we give up nuclear deal 2. If we need nuclear test in the future, then we will give up nuclear deal and then we will go for a test.
Even in the worst case, we will have nuclear energy assured till we test a nuclear bomb.
I think the good management plan of India's energy security is to go for a deal now.
Suppose if you have the plan of testing a bomb tomorrow, there is no point in speaking about CND. But if you dont need one in the near future (because already you have the test data which can help us through some significant length of tiem), we can go for a test.
I think this is the business deal.
If there are any other concenrns apart from India's testing the bomb, can some one elaborate.
I think in all the possible concerns, we can very well go for a deal.

According to the deal, we cant use the "Material obtained from trade" to conduct the tests...We can still use our military reserves for that purpose...

True. I agree with you. Did we not test the bomb in BJP period and yet command a respect for us in the world arena now.
I think it is not just an isolated incidents - nuclear bomp testing. What value we represent in the world forum has to speak for us in the periods of trouble.
What our attitude towards general peace and tranquility in the region. It all will have to speak for us.
If we really are a forward looking nation, having no intention of agression, I think we can manage - even the possible occaions of bomp testing in the future.
