This deal is not good for india in the long term. India can get nuclear energy without this nuclear deal. We have the technological knowhow and the deposits (thorium and uranium) within India and that can be used for our energy needs without getting into this deal at all. The re is no value addition in getting to this deal because this deal restricts our nuclear testing ability . We dont have to compromise that to get this deal!. If we stand our ground we will get this deal in OUR OWN TERMS!. All the congress government has to do is show some backbone. Btw, this is not a capitalism vs. communist issue or bjp nationalist issue just because they are opposing this deal. Whether whoever opposes or supports this deal the issue here is this deal is not good for India in this format!.
