Umashankar, whatever u said is true. But its not yet time to be complacent about India's growth and say that India has become a mega power. We would do well to be happy with the growth we have achieved, but still realize that this growth which we have achieved still has to penetrate even to the lowest level of the society- which just has not taken place to the desired extent. Just step out of your home and watch the people in your surroundings! - You will still see people begging money for having food one time a day, people struggling in slums, people crowding in the street in front of the water tanker to get that little amount of usable water! I am sure u will well realize that we have 'miles to go before we become a superpower' .

As Pakistan and Mushraf face many problems, because Terrorism in the name of religion.
India will also fell into the same deep well, when we will begin Islamic/Hindu terrorism.

Ok Uma...I love India too. But by no stretch of imgination has US gone down on its knees to India. Its a deal where US will benefit too. We might be wiser to read the fineprints of this deal before going bonkers about it. And India by no stretch of imagination a mega power. We don't have proper roads,water or electricity supply. Our farmers are committing suicide. So hold your guns before you call India a mega power. We are on the road to be one but we aren't there just yet.

if we hadbeen far behind Sameer , do u think that US would have ever approached India for a nuclear !!!! US was so desparate only because our proliferation rate is Higher than any other country, we do have all the technology but we lack the major Raw materials like Uranium and plutonium. Though we have Thorium and radium but they r not enough and potent as Uranium.... enjoy buddy we r not as Backward as u r thinking.
