And so it begins (6)

India buys diesel subs, but the most interesting part is somewhat further on:

In a joint declaration, the sides also said they would "work towards the conclusion of an agreement on bilateral co-operation in the nuclear field".

It hasn't been widely reported (other than in the indispensable Economist) that India is on its way to become a de facto recognized nuclear power (recognized by the West, that is - Pakistan might beg to differ). Of course, a navy is not something India needs for its western borders, but nuclear subs are useful when it comes to dealing with countries that it is separated from by huge mountain ranges.

(That wasn't too cryptic, now was it?)
