How does Plants coming in UN radar equate to hurt pride?
DO you know we are a nation in debt? DO you know bulk of much of what we have built was funded externally? What is your feeling about the projects that are funded by World Bank or other foreign institutions who govern how the project is built and how the spending is used? Do you feel ashamed of that too, since these are 'foreign inspectors on our soil' meddling on what we build? Is it shameful? Then you should be ashamed of significant amount of infrastructure projects built in India since Independence that were funded and inspected. What does that do to your 'pride'?
Why because it is a business ethical norm that the Supplier ensures that you use the money and resources suplied to you for the purpose you bought it for. Oh, they shouldnt care how and what we use it for ? WRONG! We dont get the resources then. That applies to anything including Nuclear material.
This deal is a smart deal and carefully crafted. It is not a blunt level of handshake and sellout. THis is a complex achevement of doplomacy and technical skills. India would have been proud if we had gone through this deal of showing that we have grown.
