Kakodkar dismissed India's non nuclear weapon status in the IAEA safeguards text by saying "We know we are a nuclear weapon state, and they know we are a nuclear weapon state, .. we should not worry about that..".. ;-)
Why enter into this whole rigmarole and word wrangling gymnastics, if US knew India is a nuclear weapon state, IAEA knew India is a nuclear weapon state, NSG knew India is a nuclear weapon state, and of course India knew it is a nuclear weapon state?...
Can anyone explain why no one was willing to give nuclear fuel to India? Coz India is a nuclear weapon state..... Now the way they are giving fuel is by reducing your status to a non nuclear weapon state.... AND you are fine with it?... :-)
Fair enough.... now we know how our sovereign interests are protected... "we know they need to be protected, and US knows they need to be protected, so we naturally assumed that they WILL be protected... why worry about that?"... :-)
