Yes he wasn't ordinary by even a stretch, he was so senile he couldn't even remember in which country he was (while on foreign visits). And now you can only guess who was pulling his strings from the background.
And Indians would never admit what Pokhran II was, a premature experiment at best. He exploded the bomb when the design wasn't fully developed and there was no urgency in our part.
Consider this
We tested > Pakistanis tested > whole world knew Paks has nukes.
It was just a provocation for Pakistanis so that it's real enemies (which are not us) got the signal that their fears were true. And who told AVB to do that...guess.
Dont make categorical statements about things u hardly u know or understand.
Before Pokhran II test were conducted in 1998 ,india aborted testing at the last minute twice due to internation(US) pressure of sanctions during PV Narshimha Rao time .Though we had enough infomation that Pakistan was rapidly building its nuclear stockpiles with chinese support and indian scientists urgently needed to test its newer designs of nukes to build actual warheads. This figures part of his autobiography.
The new weapon designs,both boosted fission or fusion designs were ready by the early 90 ,the test site was ready,all BARC and DRDO needed was the authorisation from the PMO.But the file was never cleared till BJP govt came in power who had made conducting nuclear test part of its party manifiesto.
Since was ready at test site,it took just few weeks to go ahead with the test as soon as the authorisation was granted by PM Vajpayee.So irrespective doubts rasied by few scientists on the thermo nuclear test yields of Pokhran-II , calling the tests were premature just reveals ur ignorance .
Every body knew that pakistan was developing nukes by late eighties .Even AQ khan had told the world through media that they got nuke by that time.If u dont know pakistan faced sanctions through Presslors amendments when US president failed to certify that pakistan didnt have nuclear weapn program.We tested > Pakistanis tested > whole world knew Paks has nukes
