I don't think any country should have nuclear weapons... nuclear weapons technology is a curse, and it's the only thing we have ever created that really has the potential to end life on this planet. Out of sheer idiocy and arrogance, the United States and the former Soviet Union precipitated this nuclear arms race - possibly the biggest and most spectacular blunder ever made in this planet's history. As an Indian, I'm naturally proud that my country was capable of developing this technology independently, and I feel that India definitely needs some kind of deterrence against her nuclear armed neighbours, but I'm very unhappy that India hasn't signed the NPT. I think India should stop producing new nuclear weapons (and every country for that matter), and that India and other nuclear powers should join the US and Russia in disposing of their nuclear weapons as soon as possible... but I don't think India is a big problem at all compared with some other countries - Israel with their 300 undeclared nuclear weapons, North Korea, Pakistan (as I couldn't imagine what would happen if the Taliban did manage to capture even one bomb), and possibly Iran (unless they're telling the truth). Also keep in mind that the freedom-loving Americans who are trying to rid the world of nukes are the only ones to have actually used them - and that to against civilian populations in Japan. Nuclear weapons maintain a constant cold war atmosphere of fear and mistrust and should be done away with for good.
