I want to react very strongly to your opinion about nuclear deal. From the rest of your message, you seem to be a sober guy and hence little shocked to see this particular opinion about nuke deal. I'd guess you havent read the text of nuke deal and Manmohan singh's team have done a very good job though not the best.
Nuke deal will be with NSG-international community and not just US. US was just a good starting/entry point. Infact, you'll observe that we'll be buying most of the uranium from France, Russia & Aus and not US. France & Russia are already supplying us with nuclear material but in very limited amounts.
Now, to talk about investments in BARC & AEC, they are also doing decent job though not a very good job. BARC & AEC require "fuel" -- you cant create fuel!!!.. However, the alternative is to use thorium and for research on thorium based reactor, you need studies based on uranium based reactor too. And, most importantly, you need nuclear fuel until our scientists get ready with the thorium based reactor. Scientists just cant develop a reactor out of their hat. It requires good amount of research and you should applaud the scientists work till now given that India was under sanctions for the past 30 years.. And this nuclear deal will help remove that sanctions and expedite research on thorium based reactor.
And, I understand your emotional comments like "selling country" etc.... That is not at all true..infact, you've been mislead.. There is nothing being
