from what I read in the news, India Pakistan are not in the same category. The US passed legislation for India to have access to civilian nuke tech. The US denied such facilities to Pakistan.

Not surprisingly, Musharaff was annoyed. While the gift to India was for civilian nuke technology, it will also allow India to divert enriched uranium from it's civilian programs to it's weapons programs. We shouldn't be surprised if Pakistan decides to up it's nuclear weapons program to try to keep pace. Bush jr. is the only President to ever encourage proliferation and an arms race. Doesn't seem like a great idea to me.

India developed its nuclear weapons without US assistance.

Dr. Babbha, the Indian Oppenheimer, was a brilliant physicist who studied at Cambridge, and knew Niels Bohr, James Franck, and Enrico Fermi personally. He understood the principles of nuclear fission before WW2.
