India to INDIA: The Pokhran way

11 May 1998 the historic day when India held first Nuclear Missile Test. And again on 13 May 1998 2 more tests held. These tests made every Indian proud. Now India is a Nuclear Super Power. Now we are secured that no country in the world that has nuclear missile will attack India. Every Indian was happy. But at the same world fraternity was aghast by thinking that even India has nuclear missile. US and European nations have condemned these tests as their authority of developing Nuclear weapons broke. They broke relationships with India. We were in a fizzy condition as we have started developing in the same 1990's and in few years such a big problem arises. All economists have predicted that India will not sustain their growth and economy started loosing. Every coin has two sides and this was one side of the coin, the other side was as shining as the Sun.

In the year 1947 India got its Independence and then we started a new chapter towards prosperity. But during those early years Indian economy was not doing well as India being a Secular nation having communist thinking. We have never thought that globalization will help India to earn a respect economically. In early 1990's we opened our economy and stepped towards Globalization. But after 1998 when the powerful countries restricted their business with India Indian economy has started to look beyond these countries. India developed very good bilateral relations with China. Currently China is India's second largest Business Partner. India helped African nations and developed and maintained good relations with them. Because of the restriction in business from powerful countries, India looked beyond them and earned a lot of respect from these countries in business and foreign policies. This made India Independent in economy from these powerful countries. India showed way to other small countries that if big and powerful nations are not taking your note look for alternatives, make your economy strong by encouraging students for further studies, encourage researchers, encourage Entrepreneurs and take your country on a next level.

World noticed India's progress. India encouraged their entrepreneurs and they started manufacturing products which were very rarely manufactured in India. And then came the IT revolution. Information Technology brought India on a world map of developing nations. Today India is an IT hub. Bangalore became a big IT Hub. Even oxford had taken a note of Bangalore and added a word as 'BANGLORED' in their next Dictionary edition. This is a great achievement. During these years World has taken a note of India not as a country but as a developing Super power. This is not because of the IT revolution or population or bull market but because of its strength to believe in his ability as a country, its people and their thinking foresight ness to look beyond something. And this all happened because of Pokhran Nuclear Test. That day India was proud and the next day world condemned nuclear test which we tested for our own security. And then India started its Run and we feel proud that we are in this country where you get chance to think big.

1857 is in base for Indian Independence and the same way we can say nuclear tests are in the base of India's Economic independence. These tests helped us to find our strength and opportunity on which we can work. JAI HIND.

That was not the Nuclear Missile Test,
They were Nuclear Bomb tests. Nuclear Missile is a carrrier to carry the Nuclear Paylod to its target, and India have both The Payload and the Carrier.

We were very proud of our nuclear missile test done by the great Prime Minister A.B.Vajpayeeji and our former president Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam. Now the ruling party plays second fiddle to all except thinking of nation's growth.
