| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Recently there was much flurry both in the media as well as in the corridors of power in New Delhi regarding India’s bid for the membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group which was holding a plenary session in Seoul (South Korea).The Prime Minister Narindra Modi, himself led the endeavour by reaching out to different countries to obtain for India ‘the global acceptance as a legitimate nuclear power’ which would enable New Delhi to import nuclear technology and fuel from international market more conveniently. With the explicit backing of the USA, as in the successful attempt of President Bush in 2008 getting a special waiver for India from NSG to do trade in nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, India hoped to achieve a déjà vu by getting a membership of the elite group itself. |
