It is great for Indian-Americans (PIO in USA) to praise the deal and breathe a sigh of relief why ? The energy prices in India and energy ration in India does not affect them. Why are they relieved. Perhaps you have to think about how now their American( mainly White, Hispanics/Blacks/Asians do not care) neighbours and coworkers perceive them as "non-threatening" compared to say Pakistanis or Middle Easterns. Who cares ? The deal is bad for India. It transfers old nuclear technology to India for a hefty price, precious forex reserves with all politicians taking their cuts to the tune of Rs. 5 million a piece. Think about it in this day and age of security threats does n't any one check what the MP s are bringing in to the Parliament/House ? Doesn't security personnel check why MP s are bringing in bags of cash for a showdown instead of their pens, papers, laptops or cell phones. No the security personnel were just happy to pocket the couple of hundred bucks to let them pass through with bags of cash. The fact is whole Indian Government is corrupt. The US lawmakers and NRI/PIO know that. Advani and his counterparts were holding out for a higher payoff, which they probably got anyway wired to their Swiss or Caymen Island Bank Accounts. Afterall why Chief Minister of Maharashtra taking a vacation in Switzerland and caught on camera in a shoping mall, perhaps right after making a big deposit to his numbered Swiss Bank Account. It is lot cheaper to import oil from Venenzuela.
