Pokhran 2 The Myth

After the controversial statements from K Santhanam Former eminent Scientist in past few days revealing the futility of Nuclear Test coducted in Pokhran 1998 has given a turbidity to the scientist community and the political leadership of the nation .

According to the excerpts from the article published by K.Santhanam & Ashok Parthsarthi in 'The Hindu' claims that all five nuclear test conducted were undertaken jointly by BARC & DRDO team which was lead by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam & R. Chidambaram was assigned the task of measuring the sesmic activity of the tests .
The sesmic devices which were placed at many points in the device shaft 7 out of radius of 2.5 km. The sensors & instruments were caliberated hundred times to ensure the yield of the explosion..

But as Dr. Chidambaram's statement post explosion was"The post shot radioactivity measurement on samples extracted from test site was showed siginificant activity"
The word significant activity was very cruicial according to K.Santhanam, he says that he must tell the exact level of activity instead of merely saying that.
As we know these tests are completely based on pragmatics nothing is done in approximation in such cases his claims are justificable in such situation.
If the yield was not up to the mark , why this fact was kept hidden ,why people of India were betrayed .This issue is pretty serious for our ongoing prestigious projects like Chandrayan 2 & other mega projects of ISRO & DRDO.
It is going to create a bad impression on Indian research work.
BARC,ISRO,DRDO are the organisations on which each Indian Feels proud , and we rely on them as they say.
If K.Santhanam's allegations are found to be true then it will be a very shameful for all of us.
But the thing which may strike many of us that why Mr. Santhanam was hoarding this fact,or there was some ostensible motive behind..nobody knows.
As a common man of India we can never know what is going behind the stage, we just have to trust them but I think if the truth is naked we must accept it because in long term it will tarnish Indian scholastic imgae as well as a Nuclar power state in International community .
