We canot accept a deal that lets the US treat us differentially from the way it treats France or UK. Let us pursue the long and hard road to nuclear self-reliance, and teach ourselves how to make nuclear power the energy of our future and make and test our own fast breeder reactors, H-bombs, neutron bombs and so on. The US looked the other way and did not aplly its own laws when the Chinese proliferated appropos Pakistan. Now it's too late to give up these hateful things - we live in a tough neighborhood
The problem for India is, due to the abysmal leadership of Nehrus, we missed the bus in 1950s and 60s. We still need to test H Bombs and fine tune our delivery systems.
If the above consideration is getting compromised, let us not sign the agreement now. To handle Chinese Hagemony and Islamism, US will need India; if not now, surely 10 years later. Chinese Hagemony and Islamism will remain ever present dangers for the free world.
