India should act in Indian Interest
by Raj on Mar 19, 2007 03:04 AM

What India will be getting from this deal is nuclear fuel and civilian nuclear technology to produce power.india badly needs it and in order to make India less dependent on Mid East oil,US is using this technology transfer strategy to help its industry and also taking India on its side.USA badly needs an ally in Asia,and India will become a economic giant soon,number 3 after USA and China.The clauses are being added to test the indian resolve,if india accepts,all the better, and more influence of USA.West had tried to master the fast breeder technology,but seeing the expenses involved the cheaper and known route was taken to learn to complete the nuclear cycle using Uranium.India indegeniously developed Fast breeder technology and has mastered it now, nobody is stopping india from developing it.All India should be cautious about is guarantees of continuous supply of Uranium to its new reactors.
