Pointless debate on Pokharan II of India
With due respect to Dr Iyengar, but for Vajpayee, India would never have conducted the test. Congress always resisted any such test and even recently PM said it was a mistake.It is good that a test happened and some results came out. In nuclear explosion whether it is fission or fusion damage is adequate and for deterrence the capability is is all that is needed and not perfect yields.
I always wondered in how many silos truly ICBMs which work exist in USA and erstwhile USSR, considering the military-industry collaboration as well political involvement, in the high budget programme. Hardly 2% would be real enough to help to set off the chain reaction of nuclear war.. and when the war takes place whether a large number are fake or not will be immaterial. There cannot any audit after nuclear war on the planet. With this assurance, human ingenuity is such that greed takes over and profit margins could have been boosted, putting up only some shells which rise and go back with some inert material packed in with glowing LED lights and control panels--- calling themselves ICBMs etc.
A test at his stage is unthinkable in current world economic situation and it is highly impractical thinking of these scientists who seem to lack any understanding of realities.
The fact remains fission and fusion tests were done.The fact remains we did moon launch at a fraction of costs of NASA and the very first one we succeeded.Let us be proud of our work. Practically speaking what the good persons did we are better to pick holes rather than see the geo-political realities and the context of working in a technology denied situation.
Wonder when these old gentlemen men can get out of their mental rut. They are damaging the country's image and gain nothing in the process. They are walking into the trap set up by very sophisticated perception management corporate attack against India.
