Definitely this deal is not in the interests of india as this will create our dependency over US for Nuclear energy and thwarts our progress in carrying out cut edge thorium research already going.Also it will hamper our deal with iran for a pipeline carrying gas.India has to vote against Iran in Un security council against IRAN.Building nuclear reactors will cost us very more and all our nuclear reactors come under IAEA safeguards.US will come to know abiout our nuclear reactors which are civilian or non-civilian.fissionable material cannot be used in non-civilian reators without US consent.Treaty can be abondoned any time by US if it wants.It can demand all the supplies from India also. Nuclear energy only contributes about 5% of indias security needs and even if we get full nuclear energy from US wecan only utilize some % of it because we donot have the material goods to use nuclear energy as we cannot have cars,buses running on nuclear enery,we cannot have full MW electricity generated form nuclear energy as it needs reactor to build and reactors right now are only at some places . we need to build new reactors but that will take time also it has security aspects related to it. if we will develop our own indigenous technology in India regarding Nuclear energy then it will be great. also we can sell it to other nations(only civilian nuclear energy) and get some profit.

No Sir ..this deal wis good it will not block our research. They have no issue of what we do in our military units. We will still do our reasearch..but we will not wait for thorium research (if our scientist takes years) ..instead we can move ahead in plutonium and Uranium energy cycle. We will have more power generation capacity and then cost etc is matter of time .. when economy grows we will paying higher cost for higher return. Aren't we paying higher gas prices then we used to..
