India must follow chinese example and demand equality with that country in every aspect including nuclear co-operation with the US to maintain its pride and self respect as a great nation and an emerging Super Power. That is only possible if we stop lowering ourselves by asking for such deals and become self reliant with our own efforts like China.Indeed unless we ourselves become self-confident and mentally free of the colonial mindset we will never command international respect and will be treated at par with other third world countries like Pakistan.
