Understood your point. Tell me one thing, what if we can not close this deal?
Shouting words tht we need to be at par with 5 veto nations is good but who will listen to that? We are not even able to push our people for UN positions. Why not we sign the deal now and once we have enough inhouse capabilities and if nuclear test is needed, we can conduct the test? I am sure at that time India's economical and political clout will be totatlly different than what is today and no country will think of killing the deal at that time.
