Who the hell is 'THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN'?

Is he a friend of India, well I heard he is, but after going through this article which I read at
'friedman's article' I don't agree to him. He writes as if he is a very good friend of India and at the same time asks why India has not signed the NPT. My question to him would be, why should we sign NPT. With neighbours like China putting up a stock pile of Nukes even though it is a signatory in the NPT but as a matter of fact is a big rougue.

NPT is good for states like Pakistan, Iran etc. We have a unblemished record of peacefull use of nuke power. We have nukes to have a deterrent. Isn't India a more meritous candidate than China in this regard? also, what Friedman stated is wrong about India using this fuel to advance it's nuke stockpile. All the fuel that we are going to buy from NSG countries is only for our 14 civilian reactors. The weapons-grade material is going to come from our 8 military reactors which will only use India's own Uranium reserves (said to be around 70,000 tonnes), which is fast depleting. Sad but TRUE.
