All valid points. I had the same thoughts. I would say that you missed spelling 1 important point - and that is the advantage of this treaty to the US. And I would say that it's all positive for US - 1. strategic partnership - maybe good for both. 2. Less fight for hydrocarbons (as India will get some energy from nuclear) - better deal for americans. For India it's not all bad - setup reactors in remote places/islands. Demand latest technology - maybe france's - they are all 1 western group i would say.

on, All politics. Leaders on the Left playing politics they are not worried about national interst. They are looking after China's interst. UAE is going to have similar agreement with the US. An a Arab country. Over there they are looking after the welfare of the nation and progress. China's biggest trading partner is the United States. They opned up all kinds of American retail chains. Sky didnt fall. Here again, they keep the politics and ideology away for the interest of both nations. Both benifits. Left is going oppose anything American. But,they love to send their kids to study in US or UK. THINK ABOUT IT.

I would say 90% stuff they sell in Walmart is Made in China ....The left is only saying any agreement should be mutually beneficial ....not do what america wants. China when they opened up they also got the technology transfer which made them grow bigger

The left is always acting against India. Recently, Sitaram Yechury compared Buddha to Karl marx and Ambedkar and labeled them all as philosophers. First of all, Buddha is much bigger than philosopher, I wonder if they would dare to say Mohammed a philosopher. It is tantamount to Blasphamy to Buddhists. Left kicked out Taslima Nasrin for Muslims calling her blasphamous but will they kick Yechury if Buddhists call him Blasphamous. They are so petty political, that they picked Buddha because Buddhism is one of the most passive religion also Buddhism does not believe in existence of God so a good fit for Marxist atheism. Picked Ambedkar to woo the lower caste and they like to lick the bottom of Karl Marx irrespective of the taste. They will never emphasize any past glory of India, they had termed Netaji as a pet dog of Tojo, they had termed Rabindranath Tagore as a poet of nobility. They just don't like anything that is glorious for India. They are bent in defaming and debilitating any object of pride in Indian culture and history. Are they any better than Islamic plunderers like, Shah Abdali or Nadir Shah? I agree that the nuclear deal is not going to benefit India but I want it to happen as the Left is opposing it. I sincerely doubt that through the left party China is interfering in Indian affairs. Having the deal will be a small victory against Chinese conspiracy against India through the left cronies.
