Arun_S ji: Silly question. How do we know that the untested S-6 was the same as S-1? Is it based on some inside information you may have or on logical reduction of the available information. Kindly please clarify.

Now we know the troubles that Jaswant Singh went through with Strobe Talbott. Hats of to him for what he achieved despite the under-performance. ramana garu: Sorry for the bother. While being generally aware of what you're saying, I don't quite get the complete import of your thought. Would be grat...

Sarma

Here is a news article, where Sri K Santhanam presents a more-nuanced position, and it is clear beyond doubt that he believes that the Shakti-I was not an unqualified success. Please read on. We should take Sri Santhanam's words very seriously and not attribute everything to some yindoo chankian tho...

Sarma

Narayanan garu: Please clarify. Santhanam also refers to "based on seismic measurements ..., it is clear " This is a very clear statement, and it does not seem that he is merely passing off somebody's judgment. To me, he is making a statement on the quality of Shakti-I and not just reitera...

Sarma

Surinder: Thanks for the thoughtful response. I agree with the gist of what you're saying, but hey what is a discussion without a quibble. :) It must also explain what happened, but also explain what did not happen. This is the most difficult part. I didn't want to get into it in my earlier post, fo...

Sarma

JS also did one other unpardonable thing: He tried to soften-up Jinnah, who in the end-game was responsible for mass murder. In doing so, he has done, IMO, much harm to the Indian society.

Sarma

One comment on the "inevitability of partition." I think this phrase is a red-herring, whether one uses it to support or denounce Congress leaders on the issue of partition. The real question is: what were the choices offered by our then-masters, the British? There were only two options: (...

Sarma

Rajeshji: Thanks. It may be (heck, it is) presumptuous of me to say that I have wrestled with this issue far more than most people leading a normal, comfortable life would. My background was partly responsible for this. It is only recently, after more than a few years of research and study, that I h...

Sarma

Muppalla garu: 1946 elections of India were a referendum, even if not explicitly called that. Ramana garu, Thanks for the Balbir Punj article. It seems to mirror what I am saying, pardon any credit-grabbing on my part. Abhishek D: I've already said that I am not trying to convince anybody. I can wri...

Sarma

Muppalla garu: Just so I understand your post; I wasn't trying to oversimplify Nehru's role. I was trying to make a point that most people oversimplify his role to two or three events or one or two statements. JS has done exactly that and has done a great harm to the Indian society. Thank you Sarma

Sarma

Samuel garu: I got my references from Sadna Gupta's most wonderful site: http://www.geocities.com/sadna_gupta/index.html I then dug up most of the references cited in the above website and tried to get a comprehensive and non-ideological view, while adopting an "innocent until proven guilty&quo...

Sarma

I've bottled myself up on this topic for too long now. So, let me crawl out of the woodwork and say a few things here, in as cogent a manner as possible given all the thoughts swirling in my mind. A couple of things up front. In order to get a comprehensive picture on events before partition, the be...

Sarma

The statement by Bush that I posted above is the signing statement. He made a separate speech with all the applause and everything. I don't think there will be anything else. I think it's done, take it or leave it.

Sarma

A tepid "Signing Statement" by Pres. Bush (copied from White House Website and pasted below). Statement by the President on the Occasion of Signing H.R. 7081 RSS Feed White House News I am pleased today to sign into law the United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Nonproliferat...

Sarma

N^3: May I dare say that you are missing one crucial point. It relates to the assurances given by the Prime Minister in Lok Sabha regarding building up fuel reserves for the nuclear power plants to hedge against future fuel supply disruptions. The whole point of incorporating fuel stockpile guarante...

Sarma

ramana garu: Please check your email.

Sarma

ramanagaru: Yes, you're right regarding the testing issue. But, my main crib regarding the whole 123 agreement is this: while every commitment made by GoI is iron clad, e.g. perpetaul safeguards, none of the USG commitments are enforceable and are dependent completely on the goodwill of the existing...

Sarma

We should refer to this rogue group of countries as the crescent of proliferation or the axis of proliferation.

Sarma

Something that I observed a bit later. Johann , when you refer to AQK's network in the above post, are you resorting to the same obfuscation that the State Department and the GoP routinely dish out. It is the Pakistani state that has proliferated, knowingly and willingly. AQK is but a small pawn in ...

Sarma

Very interesting comments above, triggered off by ramana's insights. There have been reports recently that suggest China got AQK's stolen (and probably improvised later) P-2 centrifuge technology and in return, gave him the bomb design and the manuals. It looks like China also gave him UF6, in addit...

Sarma

Looks like China has taken Ramana's lessons on lies to heart and has executed them faithfully.

Sarma

Agni-III launch would be as much a response to Pakistan and China as Pokharan-II was. Testing of Ghauri was the last straw on the back of the nuclear restraint camel. Testing of Shaheen-II would just be the beginning in the Indian response to China. Look forward to India going full steam ahead with ...

sunil bhai:

Jehadi Sethi is strictly adhering to the gag orders put in place by Musharraf in the press conference.

Sarma

Thanks a lot R, for bringing that article to notice. The packet of documents, some of which included text in Chinese, contained detailed, step-by-step instructions for assembling an implosion-type nuclear bomb that could fit atop a large ballistic missile. They also included technical instructions f...

Sarma

What is to be noted from Simon Henderson's piece is the treachery of the British government, MI6 and CIA in being deliberately blind Peter Griffin's nuclear sales to Pakistan.

Sarma

Mehmoud Ahmed is not only free but also heads a Fauji Fertilizer complany or some army concern like that (probably Fauji Cereals).

So, not for a moment should America kid itself that Musharraf is their saviour.

Sarma

Rangudu:

Can you please forward the above paper by Sri B. Raman to some of your sources/friends?

Sarma

Thanks Sridhar for that link. There is something in that article that substantiates what I said: The unhappiness of Iran and Libya over the repeated humiliation of Benazir and her family by Musharraf. Benazir, whose mother Nusrat is stated to be a Shia, had always been closer to Teheran than any oth...

Sarma

ZA Bhutto's mother I think was a Hindu. Iran's sympathy for the Bhuttos has to do with the fact that they are Shia Muslims. Pakistani Shias have a long history of voting en massee for PPP and always looked up to Zulfikar and later to Benazir as their people at the top of the government. PPP-Shia all...

Sarma

The more the revelations about Pakis, the greater is the cover-up by the US foggies. First mention of transfers of not just centrifuges, but bomb designs as well. Talks about the bomb designs being the 1960s Chinese ones, transferred to Pakistan. If all this charade is not just a sophisticated screw...

Sarma

They said these acts of proliferation took place from 1991 to 1997.

A "Save Mushy's Butt" act is on here.

Sarma

I may be wrong, but it looks like PAEC and its scientist cohorts were targetted after Sept 11, where as now when the war in Afghanistan is going no where, it is KRL's turn.

Sarma

Originally posted by Rangudu: quote:Nuclear Inquiry Skips Pakistani Army By DAVID ROHDE But none of the accounts prove that the army, or Pakistan's government, approved the transfer of nuclear technology. American and Pakistani analysts said the evidence that could prove the military approved the t...

No mention of China at all -- Is this the dog that did not bark case?

Sarma

Acharya:

It is more a longing than a liking. The Urdu-driven culture of a lover separated from his lovee is the sentiment that Pakis have towards the US.

Sarma

The difference between Pakistan and other so called "rogue" nations is that it is willing to become a use and throw condom whenever US desires so. North Korea, Iraq and Libya (for a long time) were not willing to don that role. Pakistan has given custody of its nukes to the US. The promise...

Sarma

With all the original bunch of paki nuclear scientists either under "debriefing" or under house arrest, does this mean there is practically no new weapons R&D going on now. Are their weapons capability and numbers frozen at 1998 levels?

Sarma

I believe that Mushy's contention that the Paki government was never involved in nuclear trade has to be understood from this viewpoint. The time period of these transfers, which started from the late 1980s and lasted till the late 90s (at least), was when Pakistan has had civilian PMs as heads of t...
