The (general) media narrative about the US-Indian nuclear deal presents India as a stable partner in comparison to Pakistan or an aggressive China.
I don’t really have an opinion on the deal, but what struck me about the media coverage is that no one seems to have mentioned that, according to the US’ own data, India lost more lives to terrorist attacks than any other country with the exception of Iraq in the period between 2004 and 2007. Is that a sign of stability? And no one seems to have noticed the numerous political, ethnic and religious bloody flash points and a relatively widespread armed insurrection inside the country.
