Why do I get a feeling Rediff is doin PR work for USA? What is Rediff interest to see this deal through?
USA is desperate and pressurising India to sign Nuclear deal becoz:
1. Their private companies want to set up nuclear plants in India and thus earn billions of dollar. But if India tests nuclear weapon, not only these functioning of these civil plants be stopped by USA but India will have to pay damages running into billions of dollars as compensation to these USA companies and these plants closes permanently by USA.
2. To stop India from testing any nuclear weapons in future. If India does tests, it will have to pay a heavy penalty for doing so if it signs such an agreement.
3. This agreement will also mean while China and Pakistan can keep testing nuclear weapons and keep improving their technology and add nuclear weapons to their arsenal, India may not be able to do so.
4. India has reached an advance stage in thorium technology and in few years may not have needed Uranium as much as it needs today. USA does not want India to be independent and wants India to be permanently tied down in future so wants India to sign this agreement. This deal will be a set back to years of hard work our scientists has put in research of thorium technology.
