Harmful Hype Over US-India Nuclear Deal
B. Chellaney, New Delhi Center for Policy Research | September 10, 2008
Washington and New Delhi are guilty of overselling the US-India nuclear deal. ++ The pact will not play as big of a role in bolstering US-India ties and boosting both economies as politicians want people to believe. ++ On the contrary, due to the controversy that surrounds it, the deal threatens to overwhelm the broader dialogue between India and the US. ++ If the partnership between both countries is to be durable, it cannot stem from “strategic opportunism, but rather must grow from shared national interests.”
