If this deal is so beneficial, why dont India go for NPT? anyway when we are in the deal with USA, practically we are not going to do N-tests. Moreover, NPT has international recognition, signing NPT will ensure permenant seat for India in UNSC. Signing NPT will include India in to reputed N-club nations. And all the other advantages of having privilages of civilian (peaceful) nuclear power production are also coupled with NPT. If India can be manipulated by USA for this Nuclear deal, why cant India drop the Anti-NPT stature? Atleast NPT has more credibility than this US sponsored deal.
