We do not have the state of the art technology to handle nuclear issues.So we have two options beg it or develop it.
If we develop it, it may take longer time to reduce the technology gap and our Indian scientists are capable enough to accelerate the process of reducing the gap if sufficient resources and freedom to do experiments are provided to them.
If we beg then we will get, not the latest but a few decade old technology with lot of restrictions imposed on us.In return US will indirectly ask for economic concessions also.Let us not forget that behind every action of US "greed or compulsion" is alwyas there.Even when they give donations / grants it is Amitabh Bacchhan Type of donation who has donated the land in UP and Maharashtra to save his neck.
We have confidence in the goverment of India that whatever they agree or agree to disagree will be in the long term interest of country and without sacrificing the national pride.
