We should move on. Get the deal, build the nation and make every Indian wealthy.
No nation can afford to use nuclear weapon. If any nation uses it, all bets are off. If we master the nuclear technology for civilian use in the next two decades, we will be our own masters. Everybody is assuming that we are not capable of developing our own technology in the future. We just need a vibrant industry, schools of education, and a spirit of capitalism and enterprise to develop anything. If China can develop it in 40 years, we can be leaders like Japan in the next 25 years, if only we focus on the right things instead of getting paralysed by analysis.

Concern are not about using nuclear weapon. Its about being victim of it and possessing minimum deterrance against it. If we are capable of developing our own technology why do we need this deal? Our energy needs can be very well ful-filled by Petroleum and Natural gas atleast for few years and mean while we shall have our own technology. If we sign the deal, there is no gurantee of power being cheaper, there is no guarantee of having power supply very soon (that also will take about 5-10 years). So why such a deal which will be obsolate in near future? Just to please USA and NSGs?
