Dear Prasad what you say makes a lot of sense. The post cold war interational relations can be worked for the advantage of India. Brokering a meaningful nuclear deal with US should serve the intersts of both countries. However, the deal should be open to scrutiny by scientists and environmentalists, not the over zealous ones who want to take everybody to the dark ages but those who dont black mail policy makers through protests. Our relationship with USSR should be reviewed. And offcourse China is out of question due to its duplicity of supporting Pakistan. Now that the US wants a stablizing presence in the sub-continent, I think its old allinace with Pakistan will not be detrimental or lopsided against India.
