Manmohan Singh has put(agreed to put) India,s foreign policy, Future Nuclear tests, Uranium based Nuclear Power technology and raw materials etc in one basket and negotiated with US. Once agreed India has to think twice before conducting Nuclear tests even in genuine neccesity in future due to the financial implications. Building of Nuclear power stations involves enormous funds and will take minimum of 5 years to Build. Even if it is agreed that US will compensate fully in case of Pullout by US, that will purely depend upon America's articulation of our tests. It only shows US is not considering India as equal partners in this deal. It will be wise to delay the deal till america agrees for 1. Nuclear testing rights should be totally delinked with 123 agreement 2. Agreement should have a firm minimum period of 20years. It is better to live in dark ages than surrendering our independece at our 60th Anniversery.

You think US is fool. If you work in an Organization and if it pays you then you too have to work. US is not donating to India. It also has some of its interests. When india did nuclear test then too it lost lot of US aid. So what if it does again, it will again lost the deal. It will be decided at that time when situation comes. Till then India cant stand quiet and loose such deal. Its US laws that links India's test with deal, not Indian govt links. Hyde act says deal broken if india doesnt nuclear test. OK broken then broken.. Its for Indian govt to decide at that time whether test is important or nuclear deal. Today Deal is more important and thats What govt is doing..

dear mallik, Last time we survived the sanctions (Aid from the international community) this time our internal economy is much stronger than the US. We dont require the deal they do much more than us. No compromise should be done putting our security into danger. India is much safer nation to have nuke power than Pakistan and china. Its US to decide thay need India or are happy with Pakistan or China. Regarding Fuel in the next 5 years India will be more capable than it is today to develop nuke power on its own. We dont need US Outdated technology.

Mr Vikrant Athavale, can you explain us what kind of resources you have in India to fulfill the electricity needs except coal which produces hell lot of pollution? There is nothing to loose for US, only looser is India if this deal did not go thru. Man, why are you so concerned about CHINA and India if you are good. If you are bad only then they become bad. I dont understand why you all guys think stupid. U want bombs or you want electricity? Man where are u? wake up...
