Worswick: I personally have no feelings one way or the other about the recent nuclear tests. My only qualification to comment on the matter is that I was a young medical student in Madurai at the time of the original test in 1974. Indira Gandhi was riding high with her authoritarian policies, but I was too busy with my studies to really care. ( I cannot believe the amount of political change in the world since then.) I now live in Los Angeles, and have traveled extensively in Russia and China, something I would not have thought possible then. This time around I have a couple of casual observations : 1. India does not appear to be cheating or indulging in any double standards since as best as I can remember, they have consistently refused to sign the test ban treaty; which brings me to my second point... 2.Is it fair for a bunch of 'original' nuclear powers to dictate that this is a very dangerous technology for others to pursue, BUT they themselves feel more comfortable not giving it up (for the benefit of humanity), and the latecomers would just have to "trust them" to use it appropriately. (This is obviously a rhetorical question.) Srini.
