The Real Story Behind the U.S.-India Nuclear Deal

I have never understood why the US and India did not form a stronger trading relationship until the past decade. I think that India was reluctant to be "re-colonized" and so its foreign investment rules were an impediment to forming joint companies with American companies.

umm ... probably because India was giving the Soviets a naval base during the cold war??

and because untill 1992 Indian policies were protectionist and what the U.S. would call socialist and slightly communist even.

It was after 1992 when India almost went bankrupt that they opened up their markets and China became a counter to the U.S. that it seems India would make a good ally to counter China's influence.

Other than that, I dont get the "natural" part of the ally.

Do you even know the whole story about the nuke deal? The nuclear deal allowed India access to the Nuclear Suppliers Group, which is not just the US but Canada, Australia, Russia (three biggest Uranium producers) and more. So the US can't really use the nuclear deal as an arm-twister unless the other countries cooperate. So even if US is pissed off at India, India can still guarantee a good supply from other countries.

What instructions do you speak of? Except voting against Iran in the UN, India hasn't done the US any favors.

ju87. what a deduction concocted by clever brain.

let me say this as soon as U.S. signed a deal all came aboard, and if U.S says NO than those who came aboard will continue to supply uranium.

How do you figure that they will be willing to go against the wishes of U.S. make no sense.

Why can't Russia build the reactors for India?

thats the prob with NSG my friend.U need approval from all the members to either establish nuclear trade with a country or dis-allow it.
in the sense everyone has a veto rite over there.
Now since the US signed the deal everone allowed it.But the reverse is definitely not true.
With India going for multi billion dollar deals with France nd Russia,now in the future even if US shouts at the top of its voice to again impose a nuclear apartheid on India they willl jus veto it.
remember India of today is not the same as india of1960 s (wen NSG was established)

It is true that India needs USA. At the same time it is also true that USA also needs India.
India needs USA mainly for the vast pool of technology USA has & for military hardwares.
USA needs India to counter the growing influence of china & tapping its growing market.

It does not make any sense that USA sanctioned the civilian nuclear deal because India just needs it. The deal went through because USA wanted it to be done. There are many countries who also want these type of deals. Has this type of deal been made available to any country? For ex-Pakistan is the biggest alloy in Asia and it always wants a similar deal with USA. But USA is in denial mode.USA is giving lots of military aid to pakistan,At the same time it also sells very advanced weapons to India, even more advanced weapons than it offer to Pakistan.
It is clearly shows USA's eagerness in India. It is totally wrong that it’s only India who desperately needs USA. The USA also needs India.

Only time will tell. Thus far the Indians have obeyed US instructions. The nuke deal and trade isn't free lunch. India is undeniably the new US puppet of this region.
