The duly signed law implies that legislative and executive branches of US government are in agreement and they together disagree with the original deal US and India had signed. Now they are forcing India to agree with their new stipulations. The next round of talks are also likely to fail, probably they are designed to fail. US may have assessed that Indian conformance would be ideal and any disagreement would be affordable. The price US may have to pay for such casual disregard of Indian friendship and fairplay norms would at best assume, atleast in short term, only a qualitative change in the tenor of relationship but not much in the substantive economic content. The real gainer would be China. In that sense the real fallouts of failed India deal for US would be worse than their Iraq predicament. If there is enough wisdom to consider a long term perspective and there is enough care for future generations, may be then US U-turn would implement the agreement. Such an outcome is quite unlikely.

Banning test, right to reprocessing fuel etc WERE not a clause when supplying fuel to other countries, then why it is only here. So, let them talk about these, as we are a responsible country.

Let us hope they come with something w/o double standards when supplying a fuel.
