I can agree that Mr.Kalam is an eminent & highly respected scientist and stateman.But, he cannot be the father of nuclear programme in India.Several eminent scientists & engineers have given their life time improving our capability in this regard.So let us say, if the scientific community is in agreement with the Nuke deal, we can go ahead. Otherwise, it will become a purely political decision & may go eitherway.I personally have great faith in Indian democracy which stood tremendous pressures like emergency to survive & keep all of us in harmony will finally win in this issue also.
