[acharya]

Very important line of ideas.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In this slim volume, Rajesh Rajagopalan offers an alternative interpretation. He argues that the American concern for the nuclearization of the subcontinent is a part of their policy to roll back the nuclear programmes of India and Pakistan. And that since the anti-nuclear lobby engages in polemics, it does not merit attention. De-nuclearization of the region, as demanded by the anti-proliferationists in the US and the anti-nuclear lobby, will not reduce the danger of nuclear war.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This may be true.
By creating a cycle of crisis in the sub-continent with nuclear dimension
the major powers are creating a case for nuclear disarmament.
It may also involve an actual use of nuclear weapons which will
give international support for nuclear disarmament. By keeping only two non NPT state with nuclear weapons and creating crisis between them they are waiting for the right climate for roll back of nuclear programmes.

Hence it is very important for the major powers to make sure that
there are no more nuclear weapon states such as Iran, NK etc.
