I can't link this because I read it in the economist, but nuclear power is only going to supply 4% of India's power.


The technology could be used for military purposes also. It is not solely civilian. Like I also said before, if India wants the technology, sign the NNPT.



I have heard. This happened before I left. Pakistan's government was not responsible for the attack, a small group of terrorists were. I don't see how nuclear weapons will help this. Like I also said before, the reason Pakistan has weapons is because India obtained them in the first place.
Well that 4% will help many people. It will not do a great deal, but anything will help.

I personally don't think India has any other plans than to use it for civilians, but I have a biased being half Indian. I don't see the problem, but I can see where you're coming from, but it seems the Congress sees it my way.
