Why this urge and the itch to tie ourselves to this deal?Partly,it is also an outlet for our unrewarded,shabbily treated scientific community in our country.Our nuke and space scientists had become'untouchables' in the last 33 years.The western powers decided to isolate them from mutual interactions,intellectual exchanges,etc.They endured it and accepted the challenge the world imposed on us in the name of halting proliferation.Our bureaucrats and the ruling political class took it as an opportunity to exploit our own scientists by keeping their salaries at subsistence levels.Witness the emoluments of BARC,ISRO,DRDO scientists even to this day and compare them with that of the IAS,IFS babus!They did it gleefully,knowing that these brilliant,ever-striving but unfortunate denizens cannot hope to leave this land!Many scientists have expressed their despire in not being allowed to work to their full potential witihin the country, while at the same time not being able to seek opportunities elsewhere beyong the shores on account of the 'apartheid' practiced against India.This desperation and the insensitivity of our own political masters has finally culminated in submitting to the designs of the US strategists.Now with this deal,the Indian scientists & engineers in space,nuke and other vital and strategic fields become attractive quarry for these growing sectors in the affluent parts of western world!At least they can hope to be respected elsewhere if not honored back home!!

Right or wrong. There are self-generated messages people comes here & questioning our authority & make us wasting answering their queries other than doing any useful things.

I know lot of countries, phone line is connected to the power grid. But in India. How can we wait & watch ourselves diminishing growth & replying to people who created self-generated messages for themselves & trying to give negativity of message in every sphere we venture?
