As the second meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group draws near, it would appear that India is ready to make some concessions. It has downgraded its demand from an “unconditional” to a “clean” waiver. “We have made it quite clear that we are interested in clean waiver from the NSG. We have presented our case. We have made our position clear to interlocutors,” said external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee.
The word “clean” means bleaching to make it all white as liked by the “White House”. And, rightly so: The Civil Nuclear India should only wear white clothes after losing the Strategic Nuclear India in the Indo-US nuke deal. This is in sync with the long standing Indian tradition. However, courtesy the movie “WATER”, I know that the White Clad Indian Widows are often forced into prostitution. But, the US wouldn’t do this to India; will it?
