The most awaiting deal in world history. As India readies to step ahead for the deal, many analyst including political parties started giving there own views to the deal. .
The nuclear cooperation deal signed between India and USA during Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to America in July 2005. Some analysts, mostly from the NPT (non-poliferation) arena in the US, have seen it as the first step towards NPT. Whereas analysts in India have accused the Indian government of getting under pressure to American.
Some of the basics in the deals are :
The deal will encourage the nuclear weapon capabilities of India
The deal lead China to enter into the same kind of agreement with other nations like Pakistan.
Though India has still not signed the NPT treaty, it will enjoy all the privileges available under the NPT even without signing the treaty.
India has already been declared nuclear power, and it has never been done anything that goes against non-proliferation treaty. For this India needs to be trusted and rewarded rather than questioned and punished.
If international nuclear fuel is available, the cost of producing electricity will also come down and will be within the affordable range.
There is nothing in the deal that stops India to continue with it reactor programme independently. India can build up as many nuclear reactors as it wants for its security purposes.
India has not given any commitment to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which even US and China have signed.
Of course, there are a few conditions, which may be strict in nature, that have to be adhered to. But to gain something you must loose something. And here you are always in win win situation.
