Preeti jee. If that was the case Why did Pakistan test it in 98 and close door on their BIGGEST ally?
I am sure RSS wallas are squirming as this marks yet another success for Dr Singh. RSS/BJP for all their talks of development has done nothing accept some padyatras and visits to Pakistan.
Dr Singh has given all major milestones to India in last 20 years.
It is stupid to think that China will deny such deal if they had the same lake of Uranium that we have. Would we have refused this deal if we were as developed as China - maybe. But the point is we are not.
Strategic deals are made on ground realities and not on stupid ideologies. The point is we need this boost in energy. We are all dreaming of competing with China. We don't even have power plants to fire our current manufacturing facilities. How will get more energy? You have any thoughts?
