JPR: I hope things have improved so much in India since my last time spent there 16 years ago. I can confidently say that the illiterate Indian villager, in general, was definitely ignorant. I was, to put it mildly, stunned that such ignorance could even exist. And I had known people from Brooklyn! Perhaps radio and television have adjusted this situation to a great degree since then. And, come on, man, the sanitation can be truly bad in village (past tense, again) Just trying to reconcile statement to fact, no offense meant.

Nuclear Shock Wave-Interview with Prime Minister-Photo of the Test site. JPR and everyone: Thanks for the OP-ED by Ved Mehta from New York Times. Links to India Today articles. 1) Nuclear Shock Wave india-today.com 2) Interview with Prime Minister. Excerpt: India Today: Does it mean that we will go ahead and weaponize the nuclear devices that we exploded? The Prime Minister: You would have noted that neither my own statement of May 11 nor the longer official text released later that day has characterized the nuclear tests as "peaceful nuclear tests". Our intentions were, are, and will always be peaceful. But we do not want to cover our action with a veil of needless ambiguity. India is now a nuclear weapons state. Ours will never be weapons of aggression. india-today.com 3)Photo of Test Site at Pokhran -after the Test. india-today.com
