Hillary Clinton - Visit to India -1

"Our nations should work together to address common challenges including security, non-proliferation and climate change." - Hillary Clintorn

India's stance on NPT and Climate Change are more clear. They both happens at the cost of India's long/short term benefits. India doesn't sign on either of the pacts unless it gets enough benefits from US. On the other side, US wants India's inclusion on both the treaties as it looks as one of the important foreign policy.

NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty)
India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea are not signatories in NPT where almost 189 countries have signed the pact. US has been consistent supporter of non proliferation treaty that always tries to bring India into treaty and is also an important in US foreign policy. India had already mentioned that it won't sign as treaty is DISCRIMINATORY. Pakistan doesn't do as long as India doesn't. North Korea had signed the pact but withdrew it. Each country knows Israel has N-weapons. Since it never revealed the fact, every other country is ready to go hoodwinked. India's stance on NPT which has been since its Independence made India nuclear enabled state. The question is: "Will India keep its stance aside and join in NPT? " Its almost impossible for Mrs.Clinton to see India in favor of NPT.

Climate Concerns
India is 3rd in emitting carbon-di-oxide and other green house gases. As of now, there are no any quantify restrictions on these emissions for developing countries like china and India. Reduction in emissions happens at the loss of present business deals and at the cost of billions of rupees and as a result some of the social reforms will be slowed down. Definitely, India will not respond to US positively unless it gets more and more benefits like clean energy technology transfer. The fact is that 20% of the world emissions are from US and India's contribution is 4%. Keeping this fact in mind, India will definitely ask Clinton to take the lead in reducing emissions by 40% by 2020 as per Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change .


Swift action on Indo-US nuclear agreement

If US wants to give more and if India is ready to loose its sovereignty in nuclear weapon technology, then definitely outcome will be positive out of this Mrs.Clinton's tour. It is all about WIN-WIN situation.
