This is why India wants to possess N-bomb. And the west realizes this and that the India does not have any serious concern about West and its principles though West had troubled India for long time in the past. Now when whole game is changing in the world, West has to be on some side, with India being a democracy, with same values as that of west and does not have any serious plan to be a threat to west on one end. And China whose intentions are mystic and known not be so friendly for the interest of the west on the other end. West would prefer India rather than China. So India does not want to sign NPT. What is India trying to do now is to get the opportunity to get access to Nuclear trade and technology without signing NPT. The NSG (and west understand this) and trying to facilitate this. During all these years of isolation from Nuclear trade, India had managed to develop indigenous technologies which is not comparable to leaders in the Nuclear field but substantial. This section of technology does not come under IAEA and international inspection and will continue to increase. India’s strategic interests are not coming under international inspection. Only facilities used for civilian (peaceful) purpose would come under international inspection to prevent India from using the technology or supply to these facilities for its military programs.
