This N-deal was pretty useless in all aspects. It was bound to constrain india's N-bombs, give the US leverage over India, provide power at 3 times the cost and leave India at the mercy of US wishes. The worst part was the perpetual safeguards which means that once the deal is signed India's listed civilian reactors can never be used for bombs. These safeguards would exist even if the US scrapped the deal and stopped supplying fuel. It is unfortunate that backward thinking commies were the only ones to oppose this deal. Every patriotic Indian who understands english should have read the text and voiced his/her opinion against this deal.

I am glad that not all Indians who read English are as stupid as you are Sameer. Thank god for that.

if the deal is canceled we can do what we want, they cannot dictate terms after that. Better read it fully before you comment.

You are wrong, IAEA safeguards stand even after the expiration of the deal till a time when the N-fuel is no longer suitable for commercial use.

You know how much gasoline cost in US or Singapore or any country which have a open petroleum policy? They pay much less than we Indians in India. Similarly the fear that private generation and distribution of power would cost us more is just a myth. Today most of the power generated are lost due to inefficiency of transmission and theft. Let power be generated and distributed by private players and if Govt want let it pay the power bills of the poor which should still be less than the losses incurred by our electricity boards
