This is going to be another Bofors, if not carefully studied before signing. We don't have to go with US on all issues. If India can only become a global player by saluting USA then it is not required. It's always give and take. USA wants the cost effectiveness of Indian IT and Chinese goods in order itself to be competitive globally. Whatever technological progress done by India so far is thru the help of USSR/Russia, when USA has put lot of sacntions on India. Where is USA when we need super computer? Where is USA when we need satelites? All our progress in defense is because of Russia.
