Not withstanding the Prime Minister's reply in the Rajya Sabha and the assurances given by him to the esteemed Nuclea Scientists, the government will still short sell India to the U S on this issue. It is inlikely bthat the US Congress will budge from the amended legislation they have passed in the lower house i. e. The house of Rrepresentatives. The sloe super power will bulldoze Inida into accepting the additional condtions and the Government of India will meekly accept all of them after making a feeble protest.
The work of our esteemed and hard working nuclear scientist will then go down the drain. The Indian Governments of all dispensations and composition are in some terrible awe of the United States and will accept all kinds if discrimanatory laws passed by the U S Congress. The U S wants to deprive India of the nuclear detterent and Manmohan Singh will be a party to this unfair law. Needless to say, India will never be granted the coveted status of a Global Nuclear Power. Our scientists will always get the short end od the stick, if at all and/or if any.
