Nuclear Deterrence
#76
I know a person(engineer) who was assitant to Sarabhai in those critcal days. He says that US officials like Jerome Weisner and others used to come to meet Sarabhai when he was doing his job and advise developing atomic mines to blow up Tibetian passes etc as defensive nukes. He has minutes of those meetings.



So while Sarabhai had a overt Gandhian outlook he was alos looking itno all aspects of the decision. All I can say is due to GOI secrecy rules, the whole Indian nuclear question is like the blind man and the elephant. Every one claims he can describe the elephant based on his "truth".



Another old timer who knew Sarabahi said he was a number one patriot who took the irght decision.



However its true that BARC folks bark at Sarabhai and disparage him about his stint at DAE. Maybe he had to appear to be dovish after the hawkish Bhabha's exit from the role.



So reserve my opinion as we dont have the facts. Besides as guruji said doenst help doing what if exercises except mental self flaggelation.
