Singh’s Resolve on N-deal Ended India’s Nuclear Apartheid
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: Dr Manmohan Singh, the architect of modern India, is world renowned for ending the stifling licence raj and setting the country on the path of faster economic growth. Barely one year into his new government in July 2005, Dr Singh and US President George W. Bush announced their intention to enter into a nuclear agreement in Washington. In one year — July 2006, the US Congress agreed for nuclear trade with India by exempting it from signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Though India is yet to realise the full potential of nuclear energy, the Indo-US nuclear deal allowed India under the BJP-led government to enter all but one elite arms regimes such as the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Wassenaar Arrangement, and the Australia Group. India’s inclusion into these regimes ended decades long nuclear and technology apartheid against the country.
