So what are you saying? Because india says it has a NFU policy its ok for them to have nuclear weapons? Then it would be ok also for Bangladesh to develop Nuclear weapons it it also has a NFU policy, right?
The simple point is China felt threatened because USA, had the bomb, so they built one, then india had to have the bomb because, they felt threatened by china, then pakistan had to build the bomb because they felt threatened.....
india says it has the right to have nuclear weapons on the basis, that the NPT is racist and discriminates in favour of powerful nations, so if in the future Bangladesh should wish to build the bomb (when they can afford to) they should have no objection, (goose/gander).
First you would get to know what the Indian No First Use policy stands for. India and SU shared similar principles on NFU during Cold War but now Russia has withdrawn it and say, “Russia may use nuke in response to a large-scale conventional aggression.”
No first use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You would first read how India and SU/ Russia define their NFU policy as below:
INDIA'S NUCLEAR DOCTRINE
In essence, the draft doctrine was based on the following assumptions-
• Nuclear weapons are meant for deterrence. The basic thrust was to deter the use of nuclear weapons and not fight a nuclear war.
• Nuclear weapons are to be used only in retaliation of nuclear attack on India. Therefore the doctrine was purely defensive in nature.
• Nuclear weapons would not be used to deter the threat or use of conventional weapons, biological or chemical weapons.
• Emphasis on 'minimum credible deterrence' would avoid any unnecessary arms race

In accordance with its policy at the Conference on Disarmament (CD) in February 2008, India formally proposed two multilateral agreements and two global conventions in a detailed framework for nuclear disarmament and laid the seven point agenda for:
1. Reduction of the salience of nuclear weapons in security doctrines.
2. Negotiation of an agreement on no-first use of nuclear weapons among nuclear weapons states.
3. Negotiation of a universal and legally binding agreement on non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states.
4. Negotiation of a convention on the complete prohibition of the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons.
5. Negotiation of a nuclear convention prohibiting development, stockpiling and production of nuclear weapons, moving towards a global, non-discriminatory and verifiable elimination of these weapons.
6. Unequivocal commitment of all nuclear weapons states to reduce risks and dangers arising from the possibility of accidental use of these weapons.
7. Adoption of additional measures by nuclear states to reduce accidental use.

And from here, first you would get an overall idea where the Indian nuclear policy stands as below:
In June 2008, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh “restated” India's policy as, “fully committed to nuclear disarmament that is global, universal and non-discriminatory in nature."

And from here, you may confirm from the senior Pakistani journalists here that during 1998 nuclear test by Pakistan, India cleared that, “as a non NPT signatory, India support nuclear test by Pakistan.” I mean, Indian government made ‘official’ statement that Pakistan has right to have nuclear weapons if they are threatened by nuclear holding by other nations. And until the whole world gets ready for nuclear disarmament, Pakistan may also keep nuclear weapons, if they want.
And, in my previous post, I clearly said that India would keep nukes for few decades only (may be for 2-3 decades) and agree the whole world to remove nuclear weapons. It was in response to that Bangladeshi gentleman who said that Bangladesh may build nuclear weapons by 2030 to 2050 and I said, why don’t we fix these dates to remove nuclear weapons in place of putting the whole world on a bigger nuclear threat when many other small countries will have build nuclear weapons? As, if Bangladesh then why not Burma also as they have fought in past? I clearly mean to say that nuclear weapons of India would also be removed by 2030 to 2050 but we need to keep this until the whole world gets ready to do the same otherwise the colonial powers will threaten us and keep blackmailing, isnt it?
