You do not say anything about re-ported purchases by Ram Binod. Is there any truth in those allega-tions? I received the Bengali edition of Seven Months2. Is it selling well?

But I would certainly say that anyone who was not a soldier, or could not become one, could never be a jnani. The same is true about being a brahmachari.

  • India, the Nuclear Deal, and Nonproliferation
    No. 7 Working Paper Working Hushed Hope - India, the Nuclear Deal, and Nonproliferation Carsten Rauch December 2010 1 Hushed Hope – India, the Nuclear Deal, and Nonproliferation Carsten Rauch For quite some time the formerly strained relationship between the United States and India has improved remarkably. This process was made possible by the end of the Cold War which often found both Democracies on different sides of the Iron Curtain. It really took off when US- President Bill Clinton stood firmly on the side of India during the ‘Kargil War’ with Pakistan in 1999. One remaining difference concerned India’s nuclear ambitions, as India has refused to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and tested nuclear devices in 1974 and 1998. The dispute, however, was resolved in 2008 with the so- called nuclear deal. This agreement re-integrates India into international civil nuclear trade even while India remains outside of the most important institutions of the global nonproliferation (NP) regime. Almost universally, nonproliferation and arms control experts have deemed the deal as harmful to global efforts in the fields of nuclear nonproliferation, arms control and disarmament. Their case becomes even stronger, as the proponents of the deal mainly presented rather weak arguments that have been easily dismissed by the critics. With a few notable exceptions, both opponents as well as proponents have, however, overlooked important issues which should influence our evaluation of the deal. As I will argue, it is important to take into account a) the possibility of the deal being a precondition (rather than an actual cause) of an Indian re-evaluation of the global NP regime, b) the dangers for this regime (and international stability in general) that could arise from an unsatisfied India and c) the fact that the reasonable alternatives to the deal are not very compelling.

  • A Reflection on India's Nuclear Policy
    India’s Simultaneously Changing Foreign Policy; A Reflection on India’s Nuclear Policy *Dr. Laxmi R Chauhan Faculty of English Dept. of English, KGC-Dehradun Gurukul Kangri University, Haridwar **AtulGulati Advocate Rochipura, P.O- Majra Dehradun India Abstract: Any country‟s foreign policy has fundamentals of permanency and amendments resulting to a change in government. India‟s foreign policy is no different. The changes have not essentially been unambiguouslyspoken, but are inherent in the government‟s actions and view of the world. There are areas of the evolving changes are the supremacy given to economic and technological development; the prominence on national power comprising primarily military power; and stress on soft power; a bargain in self-imposed constraints on actions that other countries may interpretas unwelcoming to their interests; and the orientation of domestic and foreign policies toward this objective. When India emerged as an Independent country to take its place in comity of nations on 15th August, 1947, the nuclear age had already dawned. India took a significant decision to be self-reliant and have freedom of thought and action. India rejected the Cold War paradigm and avoided aligning herself with either blocratherchose a more stringent policy of non- alignment. And if the whole world then was moving towards nuclear armament, India too required building up its strength through the available resources, the skills and the creativity www.ijellh.com 62 of the people. India was a new strength for its neighboring countries which had almost an insignificant place in the world map. It was a new found strengthand diplomatic priority of the region was evident in its initiative in having cordial relations with the countries of both the blocks.
