Abstract
US-India bilateral cooperation of civilian space activities, civilian nuclear programs, and high-technology trade and to expand discussions on missile defense is the corner stone of the New Step in Strategic Partnership (NSSP) launched in January 2004. Indian quest for acquiring ICBM capability is spanned over more than four decades and is largely based on space launched technology acquired through the foreign sources. Though the United States has taken different steps over the last several decades to restrict missile proliferation, but in case of India, the sincerity and inconsistent application of nonproliferation policies have always been criticized at all levels. The ongoing US-Israel space cooperation with India indirectly aims at strengthening and improving its ICBM capabilities-a step necessary for transforming India to a global power and tilt the balance of nuclear power in the region.
