Kritverma ji,
I have interacted quite extensively with key people on the issue and have good understanding of hot buttons and open issues/risks, and often air my views to balance the half lass full and half glass empty perspective.

This statement I do not fully understand. You are saying we must have a balance between "glass half full" viewpoint and "glass half empty" viewpoint. If so, I agree. OTOH what I said about the cost of testing is correct. The key is to replace the MMS/maino dispensation by a dispensation more committed to sovereignty. Such a dispensation can conduct tests - for which we wont have anywhere near as much of a price to pay as MMS would like to think. In any case, testing to get a credible deterrent should be a highest national priority.
