Yes I do agree that India's Hydrogen bomb capability is rarely brought up on this forum. I think its because there is hardly any information out there to confirm or deny this. I have a personal opinion that India does not have true H-bomb capability. Fission weapons are relatively far simpler to design compared to fusion weapons. In any case, the biggest Indian nuclear test of 45kt pretty much speaks for itself. Although India mentions that that same 45kt device has a designed max yield of 200kt. Yes 200kt is within the yield range of fusion weapons, but it is also within the yield range of boosted fission weapons. Maybe India thinks the small fusion stage of its boosted fission device qualifies it as a H-bomb? We really don't know. But India does have a history of declaring anything a success, even failure.
China OTOH have tested weapons in the Mt range, so there is absolutely no doubt, even in the West that China as true H-bomb capability. India lacks weapons design of such scale. Worse, we have not seen any paper or documents that illustrates India's H-bomb design. At least for China, being as secretive as it is, there are still hints and illustrations about its own H-bomb designs. We all know that for something as powerful as a homegrown H-bomb design, India of all countries will surely be hyping it up.
That author is a Jai Hind. So his article is typical Jai Hind talk. Because its India, I won't believe them until they can come up with irrefutable evidence that they truly possess H-bomb capability.
