It is for India to decide whether we would like to continue our military atomic programme & suffer severe shortage of power for India which is becoming more acute over the days which is affecting all our economic activities including agriculture, industries, domestic etc. We seem to forget that our Prime Minister was able to get USA to sign Nuclear Agreement with USA inspite of the fact we refused to sign Nuclear Prolifiration Treaty & USA made an exception in our case. Our Atomic Scientists may find they are unable to fire missiles as there is no power to switch on!!

The agreement our PM signed is ok and India abides by it. The trouble is US has undermined the spirit of the agreement with a unilateral legislation which violates the agreement by putting conditionalities which the original agreement had specifically side stepped. The reported delay in US Prez arrival to New Delhi then, and the last minute hammering out of agreement has probably been deliberately reversed. Acceptance of such a stance from US is a self-defeating exercise with severe long term consequences for India, if it now agrees to those terms, beyond which were re-stated by our PM in the Parliament.

The diversity quotient of India is far higher than that of US and law is the prominent binding force in the democratic polity. US can afford to side-step law when they are not in consonace with their national interest as politicals equations like 'all white club' or 'Christian fraternity' can carry they day for them. Both these undercurrents probably work against this deal!
