Reader Comment: India’s Nuclear Weapons
Reader Dr. N K Srinivasan writes:
India has tested only one thermo-nuclear device of about 45kT whose yield is under dispute…India as a growing power in South Asia has to have deterrence with further testing at least 6 bombs of 100 kT yield.This would create greater stability in this region, perhaps in middle-east as well. India with a stable democratic set-up is best suited to maintain nuclear balance in this region that would be beneficial to western powers too.
