Nuclear Deal - A bane or a boon?
On September 6, 2008, India became the first nation of the world to get waiver from the NSG without singing the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Does it signify India’s victory? Or as said by the BJP leader, Yashwant Sinha, India has fallen into the trap set by the US? The answer may vary from person to person, based on the ideologies. The supporters of globalization can see it as an opportunity for India to become a part of the world’s nuclear group whereas hardliners can define it as another victory of the US to make India’s economy subservient to them. The Indian government had to wade through the hard waters on the issue, the Prime Minister even put his own chair on stake. Though the government sailed through it but what if it could not get home safely?Is this nuclear deal worth so much of risk? Will it truly make India a leader it longs to become? Or will we lose our freedom to go on the nuclear track as per our own wishes?
