It is easy to do nit-picking as an interested reader, but the fact remains that these are very complex negotiations and only seasoned persons like M K Narayanan could carry it through. Obtaining France's assent would not have come that easy as it seems and is a big step forward for entry into NSG.

They are coming around because the US has given the ascent, nothing else. All the others in the NSG will come along now. The race to get the contracts has started.
Adfter all the nuclear electric industries in all these countries have not built power plants for years now, they need the business. Its all about money friend. Anyway as long as India benefits... who cares.

True. They think of their interest. We need to think of India's interest. But it is quite apparent now, though there is still miles to go, we are well on our way to progress. We should buy off the technology and then use Indian brains to progress from there.

To receive technology is like receiving education - not easy! We can attend the schools but getting educated and imbibe the culture, ethos and values is something bit different. This contemptuous tone "The race to get the contracts has started" as if it is all about and only about money is quite disconcerting. Request you to rethink this stance.
