India's Nuclear Journey Has Only Begun

The NSG waiver has given a new fillip to India's nuclear ambitions. Although it has been recognized as a nuclear power since the nuclear explosion in the deserts of Pokhran on May 18,1974, which gave the world a taste of what India is capable of, it is only now after the NSG waiver, which gives India a green signal to commence nuclear trade that India's nuclear journey has truly begun.

If the test of Pokhran was a show of strengths and had more relevance with to respect military deterrence and on a national security perspective, this recent episode in India's nuclear history will provide the fruit of this technology to the general masses more so than ever.

People in India know more the destructive capabilities of this energy and have thus looked down upon it as a war making and life threating technology. But with India looking to embrace this technology to bring, light, warmth and power to its people, under the visionary and steadfast leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the image of this energy will get a drastic makeover, and soon will be looked upon a technology which has the power to give life, and make life much easier for many in India who have not known what power and energy can do to enhance the quality of their life, and even if they knew are unable to have access to it anytime soon.

Here's hoping that this energy will bring all that the the current leadership of India has promised and much more. My thumps up for a technology for a oil deficient nations like India. Following in the footsteps of India, many other countries are likely to adopt this technology as the most viable option to guarantee the energy security for their people.

The coming years will reveal the far reaching impact of this day evident to all. I hope by then India will have taken giant steps on its way to realize its Nuclear ambitions. Here's hoping for the best!!!
