What is nuke deal... why there is dilomma in singning it with usa in India?

Question

and why usa urges india to sign?

Answer 1

It is like joining a elite club with which dictates terms to the non members.USA is the chairman and the other members are the executive committe members.They will not supply the rawmaterial produced by this elite clubmembers to others countries so that they can bully others with nuke power and at the same time safegaurd from some fanatic country that could misuse it.The world knows that India is a respectable nation and has the making of a superpower.USA is bent on wooing India as India in the past has proved to be the best ally and friend of the then USSR and IS STILL A GOOD FRIEND OF RUSSIA. India is a responsible country and would not sign if there are certain clauses that would enable any country to peep into our kitchen or bedroom(defence preparations).Is it clear now?

Answer 2

- The N Deal amends Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. It lets the US make a one-time exception for India to keep its nuclear weapons without signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

- The amendment overturns a 30-year-old US ban on supplying India with nuclear fuel and technology, implemented after India's first nuclear test in 1974.

- Under the amendment, India must separate its civilian and military nuclear facilities, and submit civilian facilities to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
