It's a deal

The nuke deal with the US is finally through - as reported here, here & here. Not that it's the 1st one. We got another with France the other day as reported here & here. And there's another one coming up with the Ruskies soon.

It's amazing how time & circumstances change so quickly. The NSG was formed with the explicit intent of denying nuke tech to countries like India which had tested nukes & not signed the NPT. And now the NSG itself (under heavy US pressure) allows an India specific waiver which paves the way for all these deals. Good for India. Goes to show that power only respects power. Had we held on to the idealogical baggage like we did till the 1990s, things would have continued the way they were.

As for our dear neighbours, they're doin the old flap-flap. Carry on losers. It's India's day today & you know it.
