RE:Indians don't need N Deal

There is so much of prejudice against US that people don't seem to think what is good for them and their country. You really think you will be able to feed this nation which is bursting at its seams - what with the limited natural resource reserve we have got.
It is true you can't trust US - Keep them at arm's length and get what you want. Be fair to the brilliant minds (Indian diplomats) who have negotiated and re-negotiated the deal with the US. As far I could see, there is nothing in the deal which could hurt the interests of this nation - except of course in the event of any nuke test by India, US could pull out of the deal giving 10 months or a year notice.
It always helps to have a postive, fair & balanced mind. As regards to your reference to modern day saints like Medha Patkar, it clearly projects your ignorance on the whole issue. Tell me how you will feel if I were to usurp your land and leave you homeless (for more than 25 yrs) without any form of compensation or relocation
