Concerns voiced over US-India nuclear agreement

US President Bush, aiming to boost India as a counterbalance against China's rise, has moved closer to accepting India as a nuclear weapons state and fueled fears he is weakening decades-old prohibitions against atomic arms.

Bush accelerated the U.S. embrace of India, after years of estrangement, during his first term. Monday's decision to permit expansive civilian nuclear cooperation is a further dramatic development.

Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns called the agreement "the high-water mark of U.S.-India relations since 1947." The approach was developed by former U.S. ambassador to India Robert Blackwill and a close ally, Ashley Tellis, a South Asia specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

It could, however, provoke a fight with the U.S. Congress, which must amend U.S. laws, and with America's other nuclear partners, who must tailor international policies to accommodate Bush's initiative. But Bush's Republican Party controls Congress and U.S. concerns over China's growing military and economic might could make support for India irresistible.

The agreement goes farther than many expected. It would remove a ban on civilian nuclear technology sales, allowing India to obtain nuclear fuel and advanced reactors from U.S. and other suppliers.

In return, New Delhi would allow international inspections and safeguards on its civilian nuclear program and refrain from further weapons testing and transferring arms technology to other countries. Experts agree these are important advances.

Still, "selling nuclear materials to India is a dangerous proposition and bad nonproliferation policy," said Democratic Rep. Edward Markey of Massachusetts, an arms control advocate.

Some experts said the deal sends the wrong signal to Russia and China, major arms merchants whom Washington has urged not to sell to India, Iran and other countries, and may prompt other states who surrendered their nuclear ambitions under the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, or NPT, to reconsider.
