Correct! Given the time and resources, our scientists and engineers can make everything, including the light combat aircraft, the main battle tank and cruise missiles.

OK next 100 years given to Indian scientists and engineers. But any one among us will not be alive to see light and prosperity in all villages.

Correct again! Let us take the example of HAL. Whenever the Indian Air Force imports any new aircraft, technology is "transferred" to HAL. By now, HAL has technology coming out of its ears. Yet we do not see any worthwhile acheivement.
Russia (in the weapons field) and Japan (in the industrial field) were adept at adapting and copying Western technology. We can also do it, provided we get rid of the indolent PSU mentality.

Here the issue is raw material.We do not have nuclear fuel reserves.US is having and they are selling ,by utilising that we can improve our power capacity.Without resolving our power problems we should not become super power..that is for sure..What is your answer for indian power problems..What is the loss if we buy it from US..? Think practically and like China communists and not like Indian communists??Why still there is so much poverty?

Look at the amount of Thorium reserves in the 'WORLD'. Look at India's share of it. Look at how useful Thorium could prove to be in the very near future. http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf53.html
Alright, next look at US Laws - try to understand Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act and take it into consideration with the Hyde Act. http://thomas.loc.gov/ Search for Hyde act with Section 123 of Atomic Energy act of 1954. If you still see this deal as a 'Power or Energy' deal - I have NO WORDS to help you understand. Manmohan first opened India's 'economy' - now we've got a billion people working as 'slaves' (jz that they're in Airconditioned offices making money in Dollars). If the US Industry Association were to decide they dont want to have Indian workers, where is our 'source' of money? If the US Govt puts laws hiking tax rates for companies employing Indian workers or importing from India, how many companies would still employ Indians? By 'opening' India's economy, Manmohan has already created a huge slave population - now he is out n out to make India a complete slave country to the US. Kudos to the Indian Congress Party - one needs to find out how much money they're making on this deal - we still remember the Bofors & the Oil-for-food scams, this will definitely surpass all previous records set.
