THEPRINT
About this episode

Twenty years ago, a week from now, India signed a nuclear deal with the US that redefined its foreign policy, and caused a split in the Indian political sphere. The deal was a landmark moment in terms of access to technology, but also raised uncomfortable questions about liability, transparency, and the cost of aligning with the West. In Episode 1695 of #CutTheClutter ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains why the Indo-US nuclear deal mattered then, and why it still matters now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Interest Article: https://theprint.in/national-interest/how-one-big-india-us-deal-gave-us-six-big-gains-to-cheer-including-decimation-of-left/369263/ Statement by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in Parliament on his Visit to the United States: https://www.mea.gov.in/Speeches-Statements.htm?dtl/2601/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
