  • US Nuclear Cooperation with India
    U.S. Nuclear Cooperation with India: Issues for Congress Paul K. Kerr Analyst in Nonproliferation June 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33016 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress U.S. Nuclear Cooperation with India: Issues for Congress Summary India, which has not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and does not have International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on all of its nuclear material, exploded a “peaceful” nuclear device in 1974, convincing the world of the need for greater restrictions on nuclear trade. The United States created the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) as a direct response to India’s test, halted nuclear exports to India a few years later, and worked to convince other states to do the same. India tested nuclear weapons again in 1998. However, President Bush announced July 18, 2005, he would “work to achieve full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India” and would “also seek agreement from Congress to adjust U.S. laws and policies,” in the context of a broader partnership with India. U.S. nuclear cooperation with other countries is governed by the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954 (P.L. 95-242). However, P.L. 109-401, which President Bush signed into law on December 18, 2006, allows the President to waive several provisions of the AEA. On September 10, 2008, President Bush submitted to Congress, in addition to other required documents, a written determination that P.L. 109-401’s requirements for U.S. nuclear cooperation with India to proceed had been met. President Bush signed P.L.

  • Negative Anarchy: the Cut Throat Politics of Ram Mandir, Adding Much to the BJP's Woes!
    Negative Anarchy: The Cut Throat Politics Of Ram Mandir, Adding Much To The BJP’s Woes! By Sabyasachi Biswal , January 22, 2019 For time immemorial, anarchy has struck into our chord a feeling of uneasiness, a state of chaos difficult to control without a central figure of power and have long been associated with the synonyms of disorder, disturbance, lawlessness and mayhem. But quite surprisingly the dictionary meaning and the one accepted in the political spheres of theorists and researchers claim anarchy as a concept having both positive and negative implications. On one hand it is described as a negative “lack of control” (Cambridge Dictionary n.d.) and on the other it is portrayed as a positive “utopia” where citizens enjoy complete freedom without the government’s intervention (Merriam Webster n.d.). Hence, it was no surprise that famous anarchist David Wieck in his famous article “The negativity of anarchism” mentioned anarchy as an idea of liberation, an end to overt or covert power structures that control movements of liberations as well as rejection of concept that dominates the society for dubious self-interest on grounds of hierarchical control. Though it sat well inside the ears, he also ended up describing it as highly anti-political and a system of inconceivable power calling out a greater question of who will decide and quite fearfully attached it to the dissolution of only stable political order – democracy (Wieck 1975). Anarchy has prevailed as the reason for some of the greatest revolutions, the pages of history has ever seen.
