What India can do
by purna on Aug 16, 2007 07:30 PM

There are 5 nuclear weapon states (US, Russia, UK, China and France) and close to 190 countries (including Japan and Australia) have signed NPT; some of them are enjoying the benefits of civil nuclear development. India, Pakistan and Israel have not signed NPT. Pakistan will never sign till India does.

No nuclear or NPT country will help India or do business in the nuclear area. Israel is in a different category as it is surrounded by enemies and has to fight for its survival. This agreement is a way out for India to get nuclear supplies for civil and energy use; even countries like Australia and France will help India if the deal goes through. Emphasising the right to make bombs will only be counter productive.
