For your kind info, West Bengsl is not really a very poor state. You can check the statistics. It is no way as poor as Bihar, Rajasthan, MP etc. In fact, only 4 out of the poorest 100 districts are in WB whereas Maharashtra has a lot of them (Most of the villagers anyway commit suicide in Vidarbha).
As far as the US is concerned, you can have a fairly reasonable idea of how they would behave from how they behaved in the past - look at Tarapur after 1974.
Please do not confuse commie bashing and debating the nuclear deal as the same issue. The deal probably would subjugate us to US for eternity, whether the commies oppose it or not. Just read the revelation by Nicholas Burns, US under secretary of state during his interview to the Council on Foreign Relations: 'It had been an easy "strategic" choice for Washington when faced with the question -- should we isolate India for the next 35 years or bring it in partially now (under safeguards inspection) and nearly totally in the future.'
