Its not about transfer of technologies but having fuel from the nuclear reserves spreaded around the world. The thorium tech u suggested is devised in India and did not come from Russia. But I guess this really does not solve the problems in the near future and need more R&D. I Guess it was used by India as a strategy of having the nuclear deal in favour to india and to have a upper hand during negotiations. Because America does not want India to be Independent based on these adavance tech. On the other hands India want the energy for the near future. Its now that we are seeing such a growth in Asia and India would not like to giva away the advantage to china due to the curbed situation of Energy. I hope India or any other country would not let the advance research out of the focus. India is just buying time with this deal so tha she can follow the path of growth without slowing down. Forget the idealistic vision and claiming America enemy, think wisely what is good for India. Beware every country in the world looks for domination and seize any chance coming forward, whether small or big. At they all dream for the better world. Its cat & mouse game and I hope India is playing a cat here.
