The Indo-US nuclear deal is based on the urgent need of the country to enhance its power generation capacity. AT the same time we cannot compromise our deterrent defence capability. Our Indian scientist, with their budgetary constraints and endless govt. paperwork have done us proud in the past and will continue to do so. We have the technical capability, I presume, to take care of our deterrent defense needs, irrespective of the nuclear deal. We should therefore not enter into a deal if it is being pushed for by "nuclear business community" but if we do, then atleast lets make sure that our power generation and corresponding investment is not compromised and leave it to our scientists to figure a way of maintaining our nuclear deterrent.
