Smiling Buddha,India’s first nuclear test,a near failure: US secret cables.

[MohitV]

hopefully there won't ever be nuclear exchanges because the entire region will be uninhabitable for hundreds of years.

not 100s of years.....it will be inhabitable for millions of years

The only failure one could see is the world's greatest spy agency CIA. They failed to find out about pokhran 1 and pokhran 2 nuclear tests.

Since they failed to find out any information about pokhran 1 and pokhran 2 nuclear tests, they declared it a partial failure, partial success or complete failure to save their jobs.

No nuclear weapons in South Asia would be a great prospect. It doesn't matter who nukes who, all of us and our families are going to die with no funerals and no one to mourn them. I wonder if there are lunatics out there who want such a death for them and their loved ones.

The likes of Narendra Modi might think otherwise.

Which is why we do happen to have some serious swag to keep his head in order.

I wonder why posters have an obsession with Modi.

He is not the PM of the nation nor shall ever be one. India was not the first to own a nuke in Asia & is not the last.

The national policy with or without Modi shall remain the same.

I agree, we are all losers.

But then does anyone realise this ? Its that 'he started it or he hit me first' syndrome

Duh, it was DRDO made. The fact that it wasn't a failure with all the Russian and canadian help is definitely a miracle.

Why bring Russia and Canada into this??? They did not supply any nuclear fuel for this bomb and we did not seek their help either.

Looks more to me as if they are saving their face as they only came to know about the explosion after it was told by our PM
