摘要:The US - India nuclear dea l of July, 2005, is a remarki a ble development in the framework of overall India - US relationship.The Indo - US Deal is a clear manifestation of the US' ultimate desire to recognize India as the leading power in the region, despite of the fact, that Pakistan is a close partner of US in the war against global terrorism, and major non - NATO ally. India came out as the principal beneficiary of this deal. The deal fulfilled India's long - standing geo - strategic objectives, it's nuclear and missile predominance, and i t's aggressive and evil designs in the region.. Under the deal, India will get the capability to produce 50 warheads a year. The deal turns out to be unfair and discriminatory in the sense that it has bestowed India with all the benefits of a nuclear weapo ns state without any international obligations. The qualitative and quantitative improvement of India's nuclear arsenal would adversely affect the deterrence stability in South Asia. The nuclear deal will further enhance Indian capability to have pre - empti ve attack against Pakistan. This study looks at the security concerns of Pakistan in the wake of this new relationship.
