Many of you on this forum seem to approve this deal because a.commies are against it, then it must be good. b.Manmohan Singh is a nice guy, it must be good. c. BJP is against it, me the "secularist" (pseudo) must oppose BJP.
Many of you are in the US and you want to see good relation with the US. I too am in the US and want what is good for the both US and India. But knowing the US foreign policies,it is very hard for me to believe the US is pro-India all of a sudden.
1. The US President has to "certify" the good behavior od India every year to the congress. Isn't that humiliating for a great country? 2. This deal was not done as an agreement between 2 equal partners. The US always wanted to bring India under NPT. This accomplishes that and some big corporations get to make billions. 3.In the future US can pull out with no reason or rhyme. When they do, all the technology, reactors, hardware, software is gone. 4. The US can then force the NSG to stop working with India. That means Russians can't supply either. 5. There is no technology transfer in the deal. India is a "buyer" from the west forever. 6. Even at the height of the operations, these reactors will not provide more then 10% of our needs. Is the tag "client state" worth it? 7. This deal with the US will make the Russians and Chinese to look at suspiciuosly. China who cares, but Russia? Can India trust US when the time comes?

US after bombing Hiroshima, Nagasaki does not have any right to monitor the Nuclear capability. They have the biggest stockpile of missiles, which can bomb the entire planet earth several times.
No, we do not need their certification for our moral character, they should check their moral fiber first, they seriously lack ethics.
