Every person rises to the level of his or her incompetence.Every nation rises to level of her stupidity.
Its been only sixty years since you got rid of the foreign domination and now you want to put the clock back.Its same old wine packaged in a new bottle.
Lets assume you set up civilian nuclear plants worth 20 bilion US dollars.Now US wants you to follow her,unreasonable,immoral position or wants to aid in some war with men or material or wants to bomb inside India some alleged 'terrorist ' targets ,as it just happened to Pakistan.
What India is going to do ?
India would not be in a position to say 'no' because US would undoubtedly recite provisions of Hyde Act and would want you to dismantle your nuclear thing.India would have two choices either follow US Policy or lose 20 billion dollars investment and face a major upheaval.
In essence,India is just setting herself up for coercion,exploitation just for a fistful of dollars.
