India at the Nuclear Proliferation Crossroads

Abstract

"By all means let us talk of regulation of armaments—universally; by all means let us talk of non—armament—universally; by all means let us talk of arms restraint and arms control—universally. But any ... tendency to talk only in terms of imposing non-armament on some countries ... is to use an American phrase 'counter productive'. "—Ambassador V. C. Trivedi, Indian Delegate to the Eighteen Nations Committee on Disarmament, on July 18, 1967.*
