I have nothing against India. India is responsible for SE Asian culture.
But India, just like China, and North Korea, has bad intentions with their nuclear weapons.
India N. Korea, China needs to focus on different aspects that plague their country, such as poverty, and diesease, before making nuclear weapons.
Those three you listed got nukes because they were under the threat of another nuclear power. With the exception of NK, the $ spent on nukes is so insignificant compared to their relative economies that it would have made little to no impact should it have been spent on domestic issues.
Also China is a permanent member of the UNSC with the 4th largest economy, it wouldn't make sense for the USA, Britain, France and Russia (3 of those 4 have smaller economies than China) to have nukes and not China.
