Anyone will find the agreement good for India in the first instance. There are lot of serious implications associated with the agreement, which will literally put India in hands tied situation. First of all, 123 agreement does not recognise India as a nuclear weapon state, and hence all the special privilages enjoyed by other nuclear states will be denied to India. This is the crux of bone of contention. All the five nuclear power states have the freedom to possess nuclear weapons as well as to develop/research further. As per 123, US can withdraw from agreement and take back the fuel and technology at any time. In future, if India conducts any nuclear test, surely they will stop fuel supply and force other contries to do the same. We already had the experience in case of Tarapur nuclear plant. Not only nuclear test, if US feels India does not align with their world politics, they can do the same and they will do the same. In such India will clearly be the loser after spending billions of dollars for nuclear plants and the country's dependance on nuclear energy. It essentially means, India can never have nuclear weapons as well as the right to have it, should the situation demands. We are literally have our hands tied. That is the reason all nuclear states, including China, whole heartedly supports the agreement. Without having right to have say on our own security matters, we cannot become super power at all, though traitor MMS and congress say the opposite.

There is no explicit mention in 123/safe guard agreement by which one can think of this serious and critical implications and that is where most of the common people are lost. This is what exactly Bush administration projects to US congress and senate that he finally tamed India, who is non-signatory of onesided, discriminative NPT. Just because Commies are opposing, it does not mean, it is good for India. Hence the deal is cleary against our national intrest. The question here is, whether we should go for nuclear stuff from US, mainly, by giving up our right of self determination on our security matters, or not. There are hell lot of other hidden implications related to our nuclear reasearch as well

US needed an ally in the region during cold war and Pakistan was such. India became a power by shear size of its economy and US cannot overlook that. If Pakistan had considered US as its enemy, then US would not have been able to enter Pakistan. Today US has enough prfesence in Pakistan & Saudia Arabia to be able to attack the terrorism from inside. One is the training ground and other is the financier. Both are US friends.
It is really pity on the leadership of the country that they consider it creaing a history. Every moment a new history is written all over the world. Indian history will surely curse this government becaue with the top economists of the country heading the three most important portfolios of the govt are still unaware of the plight of the common man. Inflation is going high and high and they are least concerned about that. Prices are skyrocketing and they are not bothered about that. So far it was farmers community now other categories also are on the brink of committing suicide. PM is worried about the nuclear deal. Perhaps that is the only achievement he wants to have in his name. How the poor person is affected by the deal,or how much he is aware about the deal - nobody wants to answer this.God save the country.
whether the n_deal is good or bad for the countrywill be known in days to come.dfifferent people of different schools express different views which a common man canot understand fully. but one thing everyone understands is that mr. manmohansingh has taken a good step in discarding the left parties from power they were enjoying with out any responsibility for all the 4.5.years peopleof the country also should discard these fellowsin the comming elections..
