Self interest an interesting evil. US gains in terms of economic opprotunity and India gains in terms of acceleration of power generation capability. And internation community gains in term of bringing India into mainstream. How things shape up finally will be decided by geo-startegic compulsions.

Umashankar, whatever u said is true. But its not yet time to be complacent about India's growth and say that India has become a mega power. We would do well to be happy with the growth we have achieved, but still realize that this growth which we have achieved still has to penetrate even to the lowest level of the society- which just has not taken place to the desired extent. Just step out of your home and watch the people in your surroundings! - You will still see people begging money for having food one time a day, people struggling in slums, people crowding in the street in front of the water tanker to get that little amount of usable water! I am sure u will well realize that we have 'miles to go before we become a superpower' .

As Pakistan and Mushraf face many problems, because Terrorism in the name of religion.
India will also fell into the same deep well, when we will begin Islamic/Hindu terrorism.

Ok Uma...I love India too. But by no stretch of imgination has US gone down on its knees to India. Its a deal where US will benefit too. We might be wiser to read the fineprints of this deal before going bonkers about it. And India by no stretch of imagination a mega power. We don't have proper roads,water or electricity supply. Our farmers are committing suicide. So hold your guns before you call India a mega power. We are on the road to be one but we aren't there just yet.

if we hadbeen far behind Sameer , do u think that US would have ever approached India for a nuclear !!!! US was so desparate only because our proliferation rate is Higher than any other country, we do have all the technology but we lack the major Raw materials like Uranium and plutonium. Though we have Thorium and radium but they r not enough and potent as Uranium.... enjoy buddy we r not as Backward as u r thinking.

Dont we have uranium and technology to build our own Domestic Nuclear Reactors... Why we are depending on US or any other country to provide us the technology and uranium ore.

correction. We have technology, centrifugal extractor, PFBR are far better than NSG countries. We dont have enough Uranium for that v r looking for Australia.And to get from them, need to be NSG or be signed in NPT

NSG itself is a deception for India. NPT is a joke.
Our enemy pakistan fears that if India with its conventional weapons can have an edge on them than what will they do if they are completely nuclear armed. So its but natural that they will do lots of "bomba bom"!! Dead to pakistan & Long live India...
Clearly the fact that pakistan is building a new nuclear reactor with chinese help and that china continues to supply missiles to pakistan flouts every rule set by the NSG and MCTR of which china is a member. By signing this treaty a. We get a secondary tag vis a viz china. b. We accept more restrictions and increase our costs for our defence industries. Why is it that none of the p5 powers themselves agree to such seperation agreements.
When two democracies doing a long reviews in years & come up with something like N-Deal for benefitting the world & lot of countries. What else, USA has to do? Sending 100s of Nuclear Bombs & ICBM directly to India? What is there for concern for these people? like Paki & China?

Its dangerous to arm pakistan with nuclear assistance from outside, its a rougue state, the nuclear armaments may find their way to terrorist any time, its most prominent nuclear scientist(?) is a thief, he sold the technology to others for money, what a country!

Pakistan won't dare do attack India with Nukes. They don't have that much guts. So nobody is afraid in India about Pakis so called Nuke Attack.

India is not scared of pakistan attack. But obviously will not prefer a country disincline towards peace to have something to play with.
This is the same way as US thinks. It prefers to have deal with India rather than Pakistan

Mushraf may not take that step.. but those crazy Mullas.. like that cleric of Lal Masjid.. when they get more powerfull they shall immediately put it into a "Pakistan Airlines" commercial plane and send to US.. killing their own passengers with it..
