mmm.. this hindu opinion starts off so bravely and fizzles up in its inferences.
Diplomacy is needed where it is needed. Increasing the probability of intercept is DRDO's work and greater the chance, the better is the security.
What a discouraging inference to throw away the achievements, and point fingers at diplomacy alone!
I wish such opinions don't make our larger minds.

Sai_K the problem with ABM system recognized globally is that it introduces insecurity and drives arms race , Pakistan for one now does not need any new good reason to increase the number of nuclear arsenal and develop effective but cheaper manouvering RV to counter Indian ABM.
Unless we are looking at countering couple of Nuclear missile from Pakistan arsenal getting into hands of Al Quida or some rouge commander threatening India with couple of nuclear strike which is where the value of ABM will come into play.
You would see in the new START treaty to be signed in April 8 at Prague , Russia had insisted and got what it terms as linking of ABM deployment and reduction in offensive system( or introducing new one ) , since developing of ABM system and increase in quantity and sophistication of offensive system go hand in hand.
We will see and probably hear in coming days of increase in number of Nuclear warhead and developing of new missile with anti-ABM capability ( like Iran did viz a viz Israel )
Though development of ABM system is good from Indian security pov specially since this is an all out indigenous effort and cream of technology nation could develop it but an unfortunate consequences will be that it will drive and accelerate significantly the 3 way arms race between Pak-India-China further.
