Besides, look at the way US is behaving, asking India to advise Iran to stop Uranium enrichment. This even before India has tied up into any strategic alliance with US. Imagine what will be fate of this country after it signs the 123-deal. They will become even more strident and arrogent once India falls into the 123-trap. This is a unique trap which will bind the country financially, politically, militarily and even civilizationally. India as a nation will become subordinate and subservient to the 'great American super power civilization'. Once the 123-deal is set into motion, steadily India's strategic defence infrastructure and future plans will fall under the purview of intense US surveillance. The strategic think-tanks will be filled with US moles who will work solely for their masters. Besides, these 'think-tanks' will steadily bind India to US interests by committing trillions of dollars of taxpayers money to buy US products and systems. There will be no way of reversing or turning back once this happens. That is how the British enslaved us, though they had to do it physically then. Now it will be done using modern communication and information channels which will be even more constricting and suffocating than physical subjugation. Unfortunately, we have all western indoctrinated psuedo-intellectuals who have no power of independent thinking. Our PM MMS is a typical psuedo-intellectual with no power to think independently. He is a slave of the Gandhi family!
