The weapons could upgrade India as a nuclear power — and deeply unsettle Pakistan and China.

CHALLAKERE, India — When laborers began excavating pastureland in India’s southern Karnataka state early in 2012, members of the nomadic Lambani tribe were startled. For centuries, the scarlet-robed herbalists and herders had freely crisscrossed the undulating meadows there, known as kavals, and this uprooting of their landscape came without warning or explanation. By autumn, Puttaranga Setty, a wiry groundnut farmer from the village of Kallalli, encountered a barbed-wire fence blocking off a well-used trail. His neighbor, a herder, discovered that the road from this city to a nearby village had been diverted elsewhere.

Not surprising. Briefcases and a “staff meeting” in Pakistan.

India wants to satisfy Ted Cruz’s question about sand glowing in the dark. Pakistan or China doesn’t matter where the experiment is carried out.

Their more immediate worry is Pocky-stan.

Yeah, they have China on one side and an incredibly hostile Pakistan on the other. Can’t blame them for doing this.

In the next 15 years, India will quickly surpass China and become the No. 1 economic and military power in Asia.

I doubt it

the Indians are more interested at examining navel detritus than functioning

their love for bureaucratic nit picking will stiffle the breakout

You know that this super top-secret. Should we be talking about this in an open forum? Let’s go to something secure like clintonemail.com.

It is open knowledge that India probably has about 120 nuclear warheads already.

“I doubt it

Believe the cliches if you want. Private equity companies have been pulling out of China in droves since 2011. That money is heading to India and Southeast Asia.

By 2030, half of China’s population will be more than 50 years of age. By that same date, half of India’s population will by less than 30 years of age. The stupid ChiComms have aborted their future. Guess where the investment money will be heading.

As of right now, the broadband companies simply cannot keep up with demand in India.
