I dont know who this writer is but here is the fact. ....
There is a fundamental difference between Homi Bhabha's policy of growing science and the policy of importing science. The process of growing science does not involve a jump from the base level to the most advanced aspects without undertaking the intermediate trial and error methods. Cutting edge technology is not given by any state that acquires it for the obvious reason that in the present day, the technology edge sets nations apart. The technology that would be handed over, therefore, will be second- or third-rate.

1. Homi Bhabha, Self-reliance, Khadi, Small scale Industries etc, are no longer sufficient to help a rapidly growing India. Bhabhas work has taken us far and he is among my heroes but we need to take the second big jump now. 2. We cannot afford to go with trial and error and try to reinvent the wheel. Even with the LCA we took help for the airframe from russia and germany, composites from USA, kaveri engine testing from russia, engine redesign from pratt and whitney usa, avionics from israel and france. Now prototypes are using GE 404 engines. 3. Anyone or atleast most countries will give you cutting edge technology as long as you are willing to pay the price. If we are poor we can never pay the right price. Tata and Mittal have bought companies with latest technology by paying the price. Even bomb, rocket and missile technology is easily crossing borders. 4. It is all about deals, we should be able to deal with Americans, Russians or even Chinese in a business like manner and not doubt our own strength.

When we have anti-indians and communists like you, we don't need enemies... It is sad to see such a great deal going.

Who is a slave...stop issue all these irrelevant statements, what is slavery got to do with this. We are power hungry and this would have given us that. We need to provide electricity to 1.2 billion people. This technology makes it easier and convenient and cleaner. 70% of France's energy comes from nuclear power. But your thought process has to do with politics.. anti america stance. Therefore you don't have the vision...sorry keep living in your false pride.

Would it not be wonderful to be slaves of the chinese? No Deal is terrific. Pakistanis would make very nice masters too. Let us all rise in chorus - Jai China! Jai Pakistan.

My apologies if I offended anyone by doubting their patriotism. Being against the US does NOT mean supporting China or Pak, so I am sorry. But getting to the point. India should realize that it is strong enough to ally with the US, and derive economic and strategic benefits while maintaining an independent foreign policy. We may have to kiss up to the US and keep them in good humor for a couple of years. Once we become strong like China, we can do what the hell we please. We have to realize that we are only on the threshold of economic development and are not fully developed. We have to take every bit of opportunity to reach our goal. India will need to learn to strike many more deals like this maybe even with China to reach the top. In summary, the Nuclear DEAL does NOT mean we are slaves to the US.
