perhaps to a lesser extent, perceived commercial prospects". India's initial reaction to the newly
independent states of Central Asia, was like China's, largely defensive in nature. The rapid growth of

particular note were the reports claiming Pakistan had acquired enriched uranium from Tajikistan and

Kazakhstan, while India's own efforts to acquire the same material from Kyrgyzstan, under
