abe oye thorium cycle is an experiment..it may come off it may not.there are chances in it in india..there are many failures ...and the indio -us nuclear deal is an handle taht will allow india to come in nuclear mainstream...its more then just india -us deal..it opens up new avenues for us,,..and agreed US has kicked us in past..it was because we were irrevent...india was not a reconisable military,economic power which is why it was kicked around and we opposed us to add to it....now things are different...india has a sizable economy and we are becoming a staragic ally for us,..they need us and we need them...so come out of ur wekness and try to see things at global level rather then being stuck in cold war mentality..
