Not just the nuclear program. The space programme at ISRO has also been constantly been threatened by foreign powers, often acting with political powers in India. The case of Nambi Narayanan is by far the most infamous, where the Kerala State Govt. was actively conspiring (with what circumstantially, and in Nambi's opinion, appears to be US) against Indian state interests. Imagine the furore that would be caused if Texas were conspiring with the USSR to overthrow the republic, but of course, in India, the media remains mum for reasons unknown.
This shouldn't be surprising - Mitrokhin notes how Indian ministers were falling over themselves to inform KGB/CIA for financial gain, and how Indira Gandhi herself was on KGB payroll. The media (nor the elite) is very different, as many recent scandals have shown.

That is a strange claim. Why say State Govt, and subsequent analogy with Texas? Few government officials and a prominent media house seem to have trapped Nambi.
It is well known the Indian communists have supported China over India in many instances. It is really weird considering China is not communist at least in economics any more.

This depends on your interpretation. It could be argued that China's state capitalism -- where the state is the dominant capitalist, and owns most of the companies, property, and natural resources, is a form of communism, perhaps the most effective realisation of communism seen so far.
True private ownership is very limited, as property rights are subordinate to the will of the state. Land can not be owned as freehold, and is instead leased from the state.
