The truth about US-India nuclear deal – India wants nuclear independence but America wants control over India’s nukes

It’s the leash game. India’s main approach to the issue is to gain nuclear independence and be able to supply the region with nuclear power as well defense. American attitude from the beginning was to ‘contain the damage from Indian nuke proliferation.’ Now some quarters say India is greedy!

Right from the beginning this was a marriage of convenience between two ever-suspecting unwilling parties. India wanted Western powers get out of its way and be nuclear independent. America says, well the Indian nuclear ambition is a damage and disaster in the first place; let’s do something to contain the same.

I have written before that neither India nor America should go ahead with this deal. The relation will become extremely bad between the two largest democracies after the deal is signed and implementation of the same raises doubt on both sides.

Because of lack of experience in Indian bureaucrats and American naivety about India’s main reason to go nuclear, the deal was ‘joke’ from the beginning. It was another instance of doing things on the whims and face the trouble later.
