The nuclear cartel of NSG nations are banking on their nuclear paraphernalia which has been cohemently opposed by India whether it be CTBT or NPT. This cartel is more concerened on these norms and the apartheid against India is purely a matter of white conscience than to do anything with nation's achievements. The White Nations are more concerened of their groupings and their imperialistic purview of the world at large. India is surging in anonymous directions as estranged civilization basically on peer outlooks which is more fascinating. The trillion odd dollars nuke profit in the near future has estranged India and NRIs to even forget its NAM & SAARC foundations. Today, India is playing cows in this new international role without understanding the future perspectives of this nuclear cartel and other standards which NSG would offer to it. Pure heart reflections is rarely visible at IAEA or in NSG nations and reservations are smartly gulped down by this cartel because of Muscle Uncle SAM. However, India would learn a bitter lesson in this century not to base its interest on glitering green $$$s. India with its immense Hydel energy potentials is heavily banking on white comendations. In the recent past, India has liberalized its economy which has brought her in the international arena but yet India is not strong enough to stand shoulder or nub its shoulders with any white skin nations. Indians are respected but to consider it at par with whites is yet to happen. Kudoos still.

You are really getting confused here. You seem very happy about Third World NAM etc but do you even know third world now refers to underdeveloped/developing countries? Is that where you would like India to be?
Why would SAARC end? Because Pakistan would object? Why should we even care about enemies like Pakistan? SAARC is not related to this deal at all. Stop trying to oppose progress on some silly pretexts.
If reservations are gulped down by IAEA/NSG due to muscle if Uncle SAM, isn't it better for India? Immense Hydel power potential? Have you not seen what happened to immense Narmada project? How will India realize immense potential?
You think basing interest on glittering green $$$s is a bad thing? India should enjoy poverty?
it seems only western countries have the right to retain and develop nuclear weapons. At present only China is recognized as a nuclear power, while the others are the European Union, USA ( Australia New Zealand Japan) and Russia. Even China is grudgingly acknowledged because it bulldozed its way into the club.

Yes. China tested nuclear device in 64. Immediately China was declared a 'Nuclear weapon State'. India tested it in 74. They refused to give the status of 'Nuclear weapon State'. Why this double standard. 1964 was the time when US was trying all means to befriend China. Remember the shuttle diplomacy. It was the period of the 'Cultural revolution' of China.

Yes, India should have been a Nuclear power. Unfortunately, India tested in 1974 and this treaty came about in 1968 so India missed by a few years. Also, then India was aligned with Russia to some extent and did not have enough voice then. I feel if the countries then had seen India rising like the way it did in 90s, they would have decided to make India a NPT signatory with Nuclear Weapon status.
I feel, with this exceptional treaty, maybe in future, India will get to finally get in the club as Nuclear Weapon country.
This deal will obviously generate some funds periodically which will be deposited in Swiss banks and thus help the Swiss bank and economy. Hence Swiss people will have no problems understanding!!

Yes it is going to be true as we are going to import Light Water Reactors from USA to the tune of 3,00,000 crors of rupees and it must be having minimum of 15% kickback. This is going to be invested in Swiss.

They have trillions of dollars in their chest as unclaimed deposits of politicians and dictators who do not live now. Sure this N-deal add up their 'unclaimed deposits'.
“Switzerland's Ambassador to India Dominique Dreyer today said his government understands the "importance of the nuclear energy" for India's economic growth but has not yet decided its position for a NSG waiver to New Delhi”. What interest he has in the development of India? Just crocodile tears!!

Since you seem to be conspiracy theory specialist, maybe you can also answer why Pakistan is against India signing this treaty?
