According to this report, what the deal gives India is:

1. a close but unequal political and military partnership with the US ---

      GREAT - coz practically that is true and good for India.

2. erode India's foreign policy and strategic independence and make New Delhi complicit in Washington's disastrous plans to retain its global hegemony

      HOW? WHY? what strategic independence is compromised?
      
3. normalises or legitimises India's nuclear weapons

      GREAT - as an Indian, I will take that.

4. India will only put 14 of its 22 civilian reactors under IAEA inspections. From the remaining eight reactors, it can produce 200 kg of plutonium a year -- enough for 40 bombs

      GREAT - as an Indian, I will take that.

5. As far as energy goes, it's another Enron in the making

      How? WHY? Can you give details
