  Deterrence and Debate from New Delhi Press File - August 18, 1999
Even though the NSAB excluded out-and-out critics of the Vajpayee government's decision to test nuclear weapons last May, there was considerable heterogeneity in the outlook and views of its members on basic issues like no-first-use, minimum versus maximalist deterrence, the desirability of adherence to the CTBT and the like.
While the NSAB has wisely avoided quantifying the credible minimum deterrent, its emphasis on survivability and retaliation ``even in a case of significant degradation by hostile strikes'' means India's arsenal is not going to be particularly small.
Secondly, the NSAB doctrine calls for various security and safety-oriented mechanisms but given this country's notorious record of public safety, there are bound to be widespread misgivings on this account.
