Everybody commenting this article to be good is fool.. The deal never guarantees anything. The deal only ensures that nobody can deny India fuel just because India is not signatory to NPT or CTBT.
as regards to inspections, yes the deal talks about inspections but only of declared civilian sites. That means deal implicitly gives acceptance to India having military nuclear installations and those would not be in the ambit of inspections.
India has enough fuel for Nuclear Power but what happens, if India decides to weaponise itself, then the Nuclear fuel falls very short as we cannot use the same fuel for power and weapons also.
The question of guaranteeing supply,nobody and no deal would do that. All the supplies will be subject to conditions. If Russia while supplying gas to european nations can extract higher prices, then anybod can do anything. Atleast becaus of this deal, we wont be denied fuel in the first place.
Now lets come to the question of application of Hyde Act. Hyde Act is their internal problem. In any case US will not supply fuel or tech to any country who will test its weapons, so that thing is out of question. But when we actually test & US stops supplies and also at the same time asks to return the fuel. India also can do the Volte face & say, we won't do it wha the hell US wants to do let it do it.
See. In international Politics, they play a game then we also should be ready with our version, we ca never be virtuous also and not ready to end
