why do we go for the SPECIAL
by Padmanabha Rao on Jul 12, 2008 10:18 PM

Why is it that we always go for the special statuses. There are two clear statuses in the world today: a nuclear-weapons state and a nuclear non-weapons state. This is as much a technological/scientific definition as it is politic-economic. Why is the present nuclear "deal" being negotiated around a special status definition, or why are we okay with being recognised as a nuclear non-weapons state when the reality/fact is that we have nuclear weapons in our defense arsenal? What's the point of having nuclear weapons and no recognition of it?! The same Indian PSU phenomenon -setup a "govt public company" and then start the imports?
