New challenges and threats have caused India to reverse its historical opposition to strategic defenses and embrace missile defense, much to the approval of the United States . This is one indication of the deepening bilateral relationship between these two nations that has become part of New Delhi 's broader efforts to defeat threats that might require such defenses in the future.

Bush in India: It's More Than Just Nuclear
Op-Ed, San Diego Union-Tribune
By Xenia Dormandy, Former Senior Associate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
The advantage of the nuclear deal for India is straightforward: it represents India's best opportunity to obtain international cooperation on advancing much needed civilian nuclear power generation. The value for the United States of working with India to do so should also be clear.

Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter
By Gretchen M. Bartlett, Former Associate Director, Preventive Defense Project, 1997-2009
Preventive Defense Project Co-Director Ashton Carter appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in November to comment on the implications of the July 18, 2005 Joint Statement between the United States and India committing both countries to cooperate in the area of civil nuclear power. India, one of the countries never to have signed the NPT, tested nuclear weapons in 1974 and 1998 and is barred by U.S. law and international convention from engaging in any nuclear commerce with the United States. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee's NPT Policy Advisory Group on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which Carter co-chairs, was asked to review the Bush-Singh deal and recommend to the Congress whether to support or reject the Bush initiative.

How to Stop Nuclear Terror
Journal Article, Foreign Affairs, issue no. 1, volume vol. 83
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government; Faculty Chair, Dubai Initiative, Harvard Kennedy School
President Bush has called nuclear terror the defining threat the United States now faces. He's right, but he has yet to follow up his words with actions. This is especially frustrating since nuclear terror is preventable. Washington needs a strategy based on the "Three No's": no loose nukes, no nascent nukes, and no new nuclear states.
