The issue presently is technology policy to circumvent NSG blockade constricting economic development. There are also serious political issues on which both LEFT and BJP/NDA are step by step, making UPA clarify policy paramters on various counts, so as to avoid various risks fraught in these complex negotiations. It is responsible handling by all parties concerned which needs to be lauded.
There is a REAL risk of India succumbing to 'lower orbit' of sovreignity the way Australia, Japan are. To get the N-deal and NSG-inclusion, to be able to setup common security architecture without compromising on 'swatantrata' ideals and non-alignment policy, to take further steps in NSSP are very difficult exercises.
Your free India spirit is laudable and shall triumph, it presents a refreshing contrast to crass vulgarity bereft of 'Bharatiyata'.
