Amit writes "Nobody is implying a cap on nuke programme"
It is mostly about capping the nuclear program. IAEA chief El Bariedi has also said that it would help achieve non proliferation.
OK question, when was the last nuclear plant built in US? Also France produces 80% of power through nuclear energy. I understand your concern about lack of power in India but this deal has been distorted out of shape. Let India-US adhere to what was signed in the initial agreement. Move gradually, build confidence and trust, make reciprocal gestures in a phased manner.
I am afraid that if India falls into the trap that you suggest, she would have neither power nor security.
