Why Nsg Membership? Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

NSG means Nuclear Suppliers Group
A group of 48 members
All are nuclear exporters and members
Of Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
It was established in the wake of
Pokhran-I Nuclear explosion
Conducted by India in 1974.

NSG is not an international treaty
It's only a group
After more than 25 years it decided
to take new members
India, Pakistan and Namibia applied
For membership
To get entry in that group.

India is keen to become a NSG member
for expanding nuclear power generation,
for entering in the export market,
to touch a raw-nerve in Pakistan
And to move into the category of
Rule-creating nations
From the rule-adhering nations.

But China opposing India openly
For political reason … says
India is not a NPT member
So, no membership
But NSG guideline says clearly
A Non-NPT member may be a member too
If consensus arises.

This month India got membership
Of Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)
All 34 members of it
Are the members of NSG
And they will support India for their business
China did not get MTCR membership since 2004
So stopping India to enter in NSG.
