Why not expect the govt to come to each and every individual to consult and get the opinion? The govt is voted to power and that means people have given the responsibility of make decisions deemed fit for the nation by them. The PM did make statement in the parliment about this. There is Mr. Anil Kakodkar in the negotiation team to represent the scientific community and he is by no means sympathetic to the US. Wait for the agreement to be made and then scream about goal posts staying or moving. The nuclear establishment in India is worried about losing its status as white elephants...thats probably we see lots of people raising bogeys..without anyone clearly pointing out what can be harmful and what can be helpful.
Remember Russia is no longer the old russia or USSR...and is slowly moving away. We need to wake up from the slumber and stop hoping Russia will provide us technology when we need it.
