I am surprised by the opposition to the nuclear deal. This nuclear deal is good for India. We need to work in close co operation with the west and other democratic countries. we need the technology to improve our infra structure. we have to eradicate poverty, hunger and illitracy. We do not bombs, we need electricity in our houses and power to irrigate our land. At present we are a backward, third worl country where people do not have proper drinking water and electricity to lit our homes. We need to understand it.We must take advantage of USA and other advance western countries to assist us to improve the standered of living. Those who oppose this nuclear deal are educated,live in cosy homes and consider themselves at par with the west but truth is that a large segment of our society is seprived of basic things. I would be more proud of my country if it is more developed, people are healthy and prosperous rather than deprived mass of humanity with bombs in their hand.

Merely developed country is a dream when you have hostile neighbours like Pak and China. Just dont dream like fanatic, and come down to reality. You wrote a big speech about basic needs but for that we dont need Nuclear deal any way. Because the cost of nuclear generated electricity will be very high till many many years. Our farmers, middle class and small industrialist will never be able to bear it.
