Actually, what you are saying is one way of getting out of the blackmail. But there are two questions here:
(1) When you are finalizing a deal, why should we allow blackmail clauses in the first place, and then go about beating the bush? What you are saying should be the solution, when we find that WE ARE ALREADY TRAPPED IN AN AGREEMENT, WHICH WE DID NOT UNDERSTAND PROPERLY. Now, when we know that the Hyde Act is full of horrible clauses to the extent of showing CONTEMPT TO OUR SOVEREIGNTY, why not JUST TELL THE US TO INSERT A BLOODY CONDITION SAYING "US laws are not applicable to this international agreement", just like the China-US nuclear deal, OR GET LOST?
(2) Secondly, please read the Hyde Act. It says that, in the event of India crossing the line by conducting a test, not only the US will stop supply forcing our investment of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO GO DOWN THE DRAIN, but also, IT WILL EXERT PRESSURE ON OTHER NATIONS TO STOP SUPPLIES! And, be practical, how many nations will go against the wishes of the US in this unipolar world?
AGAIN, WHY JUMP INTO THE WELL AND THEN STRUGGLE TO COME OUT LIVE? TELL THE US THAT WE WANT A 123-AGREEMENT ON AN EQUAL BASIS, WITHOUT ANY OVERBEARING POWER OF US NATIONAL LAWS, OR TELL THE US TO GET LOST..!
