This is apropos a Business Recorder news item "World urged to take note of India's 'secret nuclear city'" carried by the newspaper yesterday. According to it, the Foreign Office has cautioned the world to take notice of India's "secret nuclear city" being built for production of thermonuclear weapons, which will not only undermine the regional strategic balance of power but will also endanger peace of the region and beyond. The country's Foreign Office has also said that Indian defence build-up, both nuclear and conventional, is a direct threat to Pakistan and the region at large.
It has been pointed out that India completed its plan of nuclear triad recently with the commissioning of nuclear submarines. It has also been building intercontinental ballistic missiles and anti-ballistic missile system.
That India is seeking to become a regional hegemon is the most plausible argument that clearly explains New Delhi's ambitions. That India's prime minister Narendra Modi is desperately trying to show to Indians in particular that he is having greater powers than humans have is another fact that has found its best expression from his highly controversial move to portray, albeit unsuccessfully, himself, as Lord Rama recently. The 'secret nuclear city' just fits into Modi's greater but nefarious game-plan.
