It doesn't matter. Because this is happened due to our politicians dirty politics. So Indian People to be ashamed on the politicans undemocratic way and immoral functioning.
Has Sashi Tharoor found a job since he left UN in disgrace ,after serving faithfully for 29 years ? US is probably now offering carrot to him to do the dirty work for USA.
The nuclear agreement with America according to Kalam is secondary. If it comes with no strings attached, it is welcome. Otherwise it has no meaning for India.

Dr. Kalam though immensely respectable comes from the wrong generation... the generation that kept India a 3rd world country. His views should be discounted. We want to side with forces of democracy and liberty.
India SHOULD want the same terms as the US- China nuclear agreement even if it takes significantly longer to negotiate.
India cannot agree to Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty objectives which is part of NSG draft . As it is a back door to cap and roll back of Indian Nuke weapons. Without Fissile Material nukes weapons cannot be mantained or when Fissile Material degradation in the weapons takes place they cannot be refreshed in future. Example like you have a car with half tank of petrol and you are cut off from ever puting more fuel. When you run out of that half tank thats it. No deal is better than Bad deal

123 agreement does not require India to cut-off fissile material production. India's deal with NSG will NOT include fissile material limit.
If you don't agree with this fact then please give us reference to prove otherwise. Else you are just spreading anti-India mis-information.
Please read following article, The nuclear deal and `minimum deterrence'
www.hindu.com/2006/07/10/stories/2006071004751100.htm "...there is nothing in any agreement India has signed that commits it to cap or
reduce its weapons-grade fissile material stockpiles."
