1. India buys nuclear plants at exhorbitant price 2. Beg 45 countries to give uranium 3. Power generated from these plants is three times more expensive 4. Has to spend millions for security of these plants
5. India remains open to blackmail that uranium supply to power pants would be cut off
6. India separates civilian and defense related nuclea plants when the whole world knows that it is not possible. Has US done that?
7. US legally spies on our scientists, and research institutions.
8. If the US does not keep its end of the promise, India still cannot ask from removing the spies from nuclear insitutions under perpetuity class.
You call this a deal? It is worse than surrender. US calls this a partnership?
Many Indians and BJP would like closer relations with US but US is still stuck in cap, roll back, and eliminate India's nuclear capability mode. Nothing has changed since 1990. US has not changed its objective at all, only methods have changed.
Dump the deal. If the relations go sour, let it be. India should start rejoining China, Russia triangle. US has not been an honest partner. China will have ( probably already has) more GDP than US anyway.
As Kissinger says, US is more dangerous as a 'friend'. India has realized that.

Some of your statements are facts, some are flights of fancy, perpetuated through the mothballed perceptions of people who've never ever tried to understand wht stands/or against India's interests.....The very junta that abhors all things American doesn't bat an eyelid before dispatching their kin to the land of oppty, or taking umpteen trips there and crowing about the same.....so while all these are good thoughts, actually, & some of theme reasonable, others are fit to be consigned to the baskets of some good Bollywood potboiler producers... Cheers

Excellent. I didn't know these many facts about the so called deal.
I may not be much mistaen if I say this additionally:Many readers who post their so called comments blindly say 'dump Commies, get rid of socialism (as if India is a socialist country), capitalism zindabad...'. In my opinion quite many of them are software people. If that is so, what logic do they follow when judging a situation?

One must realize the obvious fact that:India requires power.
India must achieve self sustenance, no to US, no to China.... Why not extract tidal energy and other forms in addition to setting up more nuclear power plants by ourselves?
