I don’t know if Singh or pretty much any Indian (coalition) government can commit to the CTBT without incurring considerable political wrath back home. About Balochistan, I really can’t figure what all the noise is about-it binds India to nothing. It’s not a treaty, just a joint statement which has less value than the paper on which it is written.

If India needs to go ahead and carry out nuclear weapon test it should carry out the tests. No Obama, UN, US, NPT, CTBT or nuclear deal should stand it her way. The nuclear deal is dead anyways. It would be a good time to carry out some nuclear testing. Pak will do a tit for tat, but it will be interesting to see how that will affect Obama’s AF-PAK calculations given the amount of money Zero is pouring in the region to buy and exit strategy from Pakistan.
