Nuclear sis-in-law

Imposed moratorium on testing!

AccordingPokharan II site - Barricading the Indian nuclear ambitions to the US Administration’s dictionary – Iran is a ‘nuclear outlaw’; Pakistan a nuclear enfant terrible and India is a responsible nation which observes the rules of the non-proliferation game without formally being a part of it. India cannot be a ‘nuclear brother’, because it does not have an inherent right to be part of global nuclear club. At best, India can be an attached nuclear weapon power and is therefore entitled for nuclear sister-in law status.

The latest breakthrough achieved on the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal has finally set the ball rolling for a new era in US non-proliferation regime and India’s foreign policy. The Indian establishment is happy with the marriage of convenience (123 agreement), for it is now assured of the assistance, albeit in the civilian nuclear arena only. The moment India decides to re-test its nuclear capabilities, stringent US domestic laws will come into force, shutting off the nuclear supplies.

Why is the US getting into a relationship with India? Following double standards in dealing differently with Iran & India – the US is sure to earn opprobrium from international community. “In a realist world, national interests are paramount. India has given the nod for being a trustworthy US ally for all future political games in the region,” Dr. Kalyan Raman, a noted security analyst told B&E. By making India sign an agreement, the US has made it difficult for India to launch being a fullfledged nuclear weapons nation. And for long time, the Indian dreams will remain confined to “nukes in being” only. .
