If you've conducted a sort of fission boosted fusion, model can be easily rectified to make complete H-bomb.
Well, French scientists don't agree with you. They tested their atomic bomb in 1960, but failed to test H-Bomb until 1968 (even after Chinese). They didn't realized they went the wrong direction until British gave them the tip.

H-bomb isn't a "highly different route". Even its trigger is basically a fission bomb.
Yes, it is only a trigger. The real core part is how to trigger the fusion reaction before blowing the fusion material away. Until today, this part of scientific theory is still classified. People can only guess it is based on the study of stars.

This is the first time an Indian PM has said that India will use its nukes. Before this nukes were ONLY for "deterrence".

Mr Modi has said it clearly that India will use its nukes if attacked with nukes. This is a big statement as no PM has said such a thing before.
On the contrast, "deterrence" itself already leaves no doubt that the country adopts this policy will definitely nuclear retaliate with full power once being attacked by nukes no matter how tiny this nuclear attack is. The speech of Modi is just an election words. It looks like it is working.

You are wrong!
There are many changes to India's nuclear posture which I cannot elaborate here.

One can say that India is ready now.

Ready of what?
Deterrence against Pakistan's nuclear threat? India has been capable of that since 1998!
Deterrence against China? India managed to do that even before 1998!
When you spend billions of dollars each year on nuclear weapons, no one will doubt your determination of using it when the time comes even though no India PM publicly says so before. Unlike Indian voters, the enemies read your activities rather than your words.

Again you are wrong.

India had a few non-assembled air droppable "devices" during Rajiv Gandhi era. That situation did not improve till tests in 1998. Missiles existed but no proof that these missiles were weaponized till 1998.

The years 2000-2004 saw weaponization of two classes of missiles as per my knowledge. Both of these missiles were based on land based mobile launchers. One class of ship based missile was developed but there is no news of it ever getting weaponized.

2004-2014 saw development of new class of missiles and low rate production but not much news emerged on warhead development and deployment.

If you think PM made a statement for the voter, you are mistaken. Such things do not increase votes in India. It was a statement for foreign consumption though made in the garb of an election rally so that it looks like it is harmless.

Gentlemen, i think now we really need to test a megaton device and make porkistan and their commie gook masters shit their pants. We really need to send a message through testing a 10 mt bomb to show our seriousness about our territorial integrity.

Not really . International community stands with us on matter of Kashmir. Only porky are barking. Even china has remained quiet.

No point moving the needle . Although if international opinion was against us or if unsc tries to do some mischief then I'd agree with your suggestions.

The world and people take sides with the powerful and not the weak. We need to show aggression and make the world afraid of us so that it doesn't poke its nose in our internal matters. Aggression inspires fears and respect.

What aggression. We already have megaton capabilities. We tested a bloody thermonuclear bomb 21 years ago. We tested first nuclear bomb 45 years ago.

Megaton is not a technological feat it's just a design optimization.

ASAT test was much better show of capabilities so is gslv MK3 and Arihant submarine.

About respect.
North Korea tested a megaton warhead and it's still a world class joke.

We didn't sign npt or ctbt yet world powers sell us uranium and respect our right to hold nukes .

40 kt dud is not megaton. We should perfect the design and operational procedures to avoid any surprises when we need to use them.

That was not dud at all. It was a scaled down model of a 200kT TNW as India's high population density doesn't allow big & atmospheric tests.

oh really? was it tested near Delhi or Mumbai? We have got a big desert in Raj. Even a tiny country like North Korea exploded a 6 mt device. Get real mate.

Big desert isn't enough to protect population from fallout and tremors of a 100kT nuke. North Korea tested in sea. Atmospheric and underwater tests will result in even bigger consequences for Indian climate.

You don't even know the N of nuke technology but asking me to get "real"?

There is question going on in INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY....... Does india has HYDROGEN Bomb capability?
Many of those foreign suckers using their as always arrogant minds are saying...... No.
Some years back a scientist with the name of santhanam(something like that) said TEST WAS A FAILURE.
What is the real story?
Can somebody answer this.

There is no explainable answer because what they said unexplained and baseless itself.
As per them, a TNW needs to have blast yield exceeding 50kT, we tested a 45kT scaled down from 200kT due to population in proximity.
For procedure, there has been no proof failure itself.
