This deal was the last chance to get out of nuke obscurity and make progress in atleast peaceful use of nuke tech but alas we are the best firers when it come to shooting down own foot. We dream that we shall one day test multi mega ton bombs, we dream we shall one day be acknowledged as a great nuke power without realising that the world has progressed intellectually. Except for the minimum detterent which we have obligation to develop, we need US tech more than anything today. Bombay is facing power cuts, Delhi is known for it and when metros are bearing the brunt god save rest of India. Today's decision or lack of it in name of nuke chuvanism shall be derided by our future generation and once again we have not fired at our foot but put live electric wire on our forehead (and mind you there is a powercut which has given us time to rethink seriously)
