Taking India’s fight to the Hill

Recent reports indicate that the Indian Embassy in Washington, following consultations with New Delhi, has appointed Washington’s lobbying heavyweight, Barbour Griffith & Rogers International (BG&R), which could get down to business as early as next month.

..What triggered the appointment is the India-US nuclear deal, which is expected to be discussed in the US Congress next month.

(…) The India-US nuclear agreement, often cited by New Delhi as “historic”, is by no means a done deal. A very cursory look indicates that the accord on civilian nuclear energy cooperation will contravene the control guidelines laid down by the nuclear suppliers group, according to a study prepared for the US Congress.
