i believe this is the 7th of may.
was pokhran II a good thing or a bad thing?
i believe it was good because it has forced the world to sit up and notice india's military power. the so-called deal (which appears to be dead) was driven by america's desire to engage india partly because of this. also, all the economic growth in the world is not useful unless you have the military might to protect it: it's the age-old guns vs. butter syndrome. india has always chosen to go with butter; but barbarians with guns always came in and took the butter. the worst were the limeys who not only took the butter, but also the cow, the churn, and the knowhow to make butter and killed off those who had been the best butter-makers.
incidentally the limeys did this to burma too. it was a literate, prosperous society until the limeys appeared. they wiped out the teak forests, impoverished the people and turned them into illiterate, marginal peasants (see amitav ghosh's "glass palace"). thus they are directly responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people in burma now.

The 1998 round of tests were indisputably a good development because unlike the "Peaceful nuclear explosion" of 1974, these
made a bold statement of intent to weaponise and deploy - a symbolic riddance of state dhimmitude as it were. They were followed by an attempt to define nuclear doctrine and posture.
Those are as yet, incomplete. Also, the credibility of the Indian nuclear deterrent is quite questionable as it apparently evokes no fear from the barbarian entities in its neighbourhood - those that mutilate our soldiers, bomb our civilians, continue their illegal occupation of Indian territory and make new claims on sovereign parts of India.
Notwithstanding the preposterous theories by several pseudo-liberal morons that all these are actually the result of the Pokhran tests that somehow induced a strategic parity in the nuclear realm between India and Pakistan,
these are in fact the result of Indian government dhimmitude, a lack of strategic foresight, political will to concretise our nukes and their means of delivery.
The testesterone deficiency is what inhibits India from projecting power, even in its own backyard - leave alone farther from its traditional sphere of influence.
This is in stark contrast to the Chinese belligerence and propensity to be a continental hegemon. Here's an alarming report about a massive new
Chinese nuclear submarine base being built underwater , somewhere in the South China Sea, that will give them the ability to project naval power in India's sphere of influence. While GOI perfects their subservient toadyism to Chinese communist imperialism - evidenced in the crushing of Tibetan protests against the Olympic torch relay.
The Chinese imperialists, having tasted blood are now enjoying Indian servitude. Apparently, the Maovadi regime in Beijing has
denied visas for the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage to express displeasure at Indian handling of Tibetan unrest!!!!
Nuclear weapons and other such force multiplier WMD's are
inescapable necessities for soft dhimmi states such as India.
They are the only guarantors of our free existence when confronted with determined inimical barbarians
and the history of past enslavement of our nation by various imperialists.
Pokhran II was on the 11th & 13th of May 1998.
Yeah, the first in the series was on May 11 - I remember the day every year. In fact May 11, 1951 was also the day Somnath temple was rededicated after reconstruction - the then President Rajendra Prasad is supposed to have performed the Prana-Prathistha Ceremony of the Jyotirlinga in the Garb Gruh of Somnath on that day

The Iron man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was instrumental in the construction of the present temple, an edifice reminding visitors of the splendor of the original Somnath temple. Renowned temple architect Prabhaschandar designed it and the first President of India Dr. Rajendra Prasad installed the Jyotirling in the new temple on May 11, 1951.
