Small things
are you kidding me??? - Conducting nuclear tests is the biggest global issue than any other one that the west had ever dealt with; You may take up the latest one- Iran's Nuclear Programme controversy which was sorted out recently and is the cover-story of every daily you may take up all across the globe......India did it not once but twice despite the sanctions that followed. The United States' inability to foresee or forestall India's nuclear tests, despite ample warnings, was a failure of both the Central Intelligence Agency and American foreign policymakers, US Government officials have already admitted the very same fact way back after the tests.....Before the Nuclear tests - both the leaders were elected to power but the CIA was not able to do anything despite both the leaders had a clear incentive to do the same; now where was the CIA which you claim is all over India when this all happened not once but twice????

Secondly, India offered no assistance to te US in its so called "war of aggression" except the Iraq War and that only refueling facility for their fighter jets which came from Philippines. During the Iraq War, the US fighter jets were allowed to refuel in Mumbai which came from Philippines for at that time India was on the verge of a financial crisis - Americans had 80% of the votes in the International Monetary Fund and we sought a $2 Billion from the same for the revival of the economy which was only possible when we allowed the US fighter jets to refuel in Mumbai - the day we allowed them - the very next day a $2 billion unconditional loan was sanctioned by the IMF which further lead to the revival of the economy and their was nothing wrong in that....
And if that was the case you mentioned then there would have been a dozen of US Military Bases in India right now - The US asked for establishing many of them in the early 2000's for their operations in Afganistan which were denied at once. US even applied to establish some of them in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for their Drones which has strictly been denied by the GOI. Now tell me where is that CIA you talk of is???? Gone????
According your logic any country which doesn't comply with your own interests is to be considered a puppet of US may it be India, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, South Korea or any other you name....Go get a life man!!!! The world is not going to act as per any country's desires.....
Definition of an ICBM:-
Agni 5 has an operational range of 5000 km to 5800 km designed with maximum payload of 1500 kg for a 5500 km range - when you increase the payload the range will decrease and when you decrease the payload the range will increase....Till now we have two of its tests successful with a circular error probability of 10 meters - one for a 5000 km range and the second for a 5000+ km range as depicted by the flight-time. Its MIRV version will be tested in 2016-17 with Agni 6 with a 10,000+ kilometres range. Anyways the range tests are not conducted to please the 50 cents army.....
India has long been a non-aligned nation and will be the same - we have our interests to look after no-matter who is standing at the other end. The GOI doesn't act to please the CPC - you have your differences with the US sort it out at your level - don't except any other country to accompany you in the same over his state interests. After conducting the Nuclear Tests we also signed a civil nuclear deal with the US for we have to address our own interests first then comes other things later......India had conducted those Nuclear tests despite the US sanctions that followed...We continued our Ballistic Missile Programme enhancing our striking range from a mere 150 kms in 1988 to 5800 kms in 2012 despite the Us sanctions that followed in form of MTCR, we continued our SLV programme despite the assistance which was denied from other countries under pressure from the US and you say "When has India gone against the US in big global issues?" - brush up your facts first. If that was the case then the US wouldn't had to send its largest fleet Carrier Battle Group in the Bay of Bengal purposely to counter the Indian advance over Dhanka and if you still think the same then no one cares what the hell you say and neither your controversy theories....
The Assembly elections are going on in four of the states which are considered to be the Semi-final of 2014 General elections; now can you tell me where is the CIA you talk about????? If it cant even rig a handful of crucial Assembly elections then what is it going to do in the General Elections??? It was not even able to do the same during the Cold-war era in which Nixon's "enemy" Indira Gandhi, back to back not only came into power but also conducted the Nuclear Tests; If it cant even do the same during the cold war era in which it played an active role let alone post cold war era......
