Description
India and USA have formally signed a deal during the Bush’s February visit to India, on a nuclear co-operation between the two countries. The verbal agreement states that the U.S. will provide India with nuclear technology and fuel; in exchange India will allow international inspections for 14 of its 22 nuclear reactors. India currently has the capacity to build six to 10 nuclear weapons per year. With this deal it could produce up to 50 nuclear weapons annually. After India’s nuclear test in may 2000 economic and military sanctions were imposed on India. The deal saw the efforts to remove those sanctions and accept India as a responsible nuclear power. Over the years India has proved itself to be a growing economic and military super power. As international relations prosper on give and take basis it was in the benefit of both the countries to make amendments in their approach and mindset.
