Sometimes it really gives me immense comical relief by reading the comments like this. China's nuclear program started in the 50's when its huge population were succumbed to the great Famine. Why do you guys keep posting craps when you do not have solid arguments to defend it?
Is it not dumb to compare the geo-politics of 1950's to today's world?
The 50's and 60's was the height of the cold war. Countries readily go to battle. When fought the Korean War to a standstill against the Americans, they made nuclear threat. When Sino-Soviet split in 1960, they also threatened to attack us. We needed a strong defense.
What threat do India face today? Did you fight any war with any great power in the last 30 years? Any super power blatantly threaten you? When was the last a bullet has been fired at China-India border?
Going thru a famine is not the same as living in poverty. The Great Famine was due to a failed economic policy of Mao, rather than a persistent poverty your poor folks are facing today.
