Ref: – India should mobilize International community to clear nuclear mess.
Dear Sir
If one goes by the sense of great loss being felt by most of the Indians in case Indo-US nuclear deal for civil energy gets aborted (in the face of seemingly insurmountable difficulties being faced by Government of India in getting this deal operationalized, in the face of resistance not only from opposition parties but also from Leftists on who’s out side support Government is in power at center) then one can easily comprehend such great loss must be being felt by most of the mankind which are non-nuclear nations.
Mankind would certainly like to and should harness nuclear energy for civil use in order to better the lives of the people all over the world.
But the way nuclear matters are being handled in a most irresponsible manner by UN / international community, it deserves the most serious & honest attention of the entire mankind as given below, in order to ensure that not only nuclear energy is made available to entire mankind for civil use but also unnecessary conflicts and troubles are avoided which are most likely to surface due to unjust nuclear policies of the nuke possessing nations: –
(1)- It is the chosen profession of the most brave and patriotic citizens to join the armed forces of their country. Hence it is the professional duty of the armed forces of any country to not only kill the armed forces of enemy country but also in the process get killed in any war. It is unethical and it is no bravery to kill the civilians (including women, children and old people) in any war. Hence weapons of mass destruction including nuclear, are to be shunned by mankind.
(2): – United Nations was supposed to get the mankind entirely rid of nuclear weapons. But due to its derelictions countries including permanent members of UN, India, Pakistan etc. have been able to develop / get these nuclear weapons of mass destruction despite NPT regime (including IAEA, NSG etc.) which is patently discriminatory.
(3) What is most amazing is that these nuclear nations though themselves possess nukes but sermonize all other nations, to desist from acquiring these nukes, some times by persuasion but mostly by threats including threats of sanctions of every kind.
(4)- The funniest sermons are the rhetoric form USA which is the only country so far who has exploded nuclear bombs (in Hiroshima & Nagasaki of Japan therefore en-mass killing and maiming the Japanese) but has the cheek and exhorts entire mankind to believe that every non-nuclear nation may posses & explode nukes (if USA is not vigilant). Hence such non-nuclear nations are potentially irresponsible nations that is why USA and its cohorts should decide the nuclear policy in the interest of the safety & security of the entire mankind – so goes the arguments of USA.
(5)- Here it is in context to add that before testing in 1998, had India given a six months open notice to UN/world community – “that India will test nuclear bomb (in view of other countries possessing and acquiring it especially its neighbors China & Pakistan with whom India has unresolved border dispute) if world community / UN does not strive to get mankind entirely rid of these nuclear weapons of mass destruction (while retaining nuclear energy for civil use) within in a time bound program of say another one year”. Then the entire world would have been much better different, as for as nuclear scenario is concerned.
(So much for the commitment of Gandhian India towards civilized & peaceful world).
India (which is uniquely placed in view of his being a developing country, nuke possessing nation, largest functioning democracy of 1130 million people and emerging powerful economy with consistent GDP growth rate of above 8 %) should make a course correction and should immediately mobilize the world community / UN to clear this nuclear mess in order to ensure that entire mankind may use nuclear energy for civil purposes for the betterment of the lives of the people all over the world while taking due care that the world is effectively and completely rid of nuclear power for military purposes.
