Indo-US Nuclear Cooperation: A Non-Starter

Any meaningful cooperation on nuclear power between India and the US is impossible under the strongly held current policies of the two countries. If India and the US were to enter into a programme, the US will carefully orchestrate its moves in a manner in which it will neither violate its laws nor go against the major stipulations of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime. The losers in the game will be India's department of atomic energy.
