There are so many news papers that covered this deal including the political situation in India. I have been living in US for the past 8 years and in rural Oregon since last 3 years and saying this has not been covered is foolish. It is been debated extensively in C-SPAN, PBS which most Americans still see. Even small Rural news papers, Oregonian, San Jose Mercury News and all the major news media NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times have covered this Deal. It is a big deal from US perspective, as they are making money out of it. Recently our Technology universities inked deal with USA and USA will recognize our major Universities Engineering Degrees. There have to be mutual respect and agreements to exchange Dual Use technologies. Unless you work in Defense Companies in India like HAL, ISRO, ADA, NAL, DRDO you don't know the uses of the collaboration.
