Why all the sanctions invoked after Pokran were lifted after some time?. Did US want to help us by lifting the sanctions? No. it was affecting both countries interests. The wanted to resume all the business they lost due to santions.
If India wanted to do the n-clear test again. It does't have to care about Hyde act or any other act if circumstances necessitates. The consequences would be not getting nuclear fuel from NSG countries. That means they all will lose business with India.
If India is powerful at that time, all the NSG countries will simply pass one law and bring back the business again.
India can not ask to alter Hyde act right now based on what is going to happen after five years. To my knowledge n-deal is good for India.
People who are discussing here are having their political tag always. I couldn't find a single person without political tag even in the serious dicussion like n-deal.
Let us discuss simply whether the n-deal is good or bad instead of shouting at MM, Sonia and Advani.

Correct the sanctions will be imposed each time a Non-Congress govt is in power and can be lifted only after Sonia or her appointees head the Congress and Congress is in power.

The Hyde Act is a domestic Act of the US, whose provisions cannot be imposed on India one of India's domestic act cannot be imposed on the US.
The exception is where such an Act clearly mention as over-riding the 123 Agreement signed between India and US. No such mention of Hyde was mentioned specifically.
The Hyde Act was used only as a bogey by the Left to oppose the deal.

Hyde act imposes restrictions on the companies that do business in USA and whom they do business with. These companies exist in most of the NSG countries. If they have to do business with India they should stop doing business in US which is not possible for them to stay in business.

USA acts are not like our laws, until unless they see a great business in India and change the Hyde act.So dont dream of Hyde act being toothless.

Exactly. When you enter into deal, restriction from one side automatically becomes an obstacle for the other side. To understand this simple logic one doesnot require to be IIM passout.

For US Congress to ratify this agreement against the specifics of their own Act, they will have to make an India specific amendment to the Act.

It cannot. You wait and watch. USA will never compromise with their domestic legal ethics for any other countries in the world.

Deal can not become a law overriding any existing act. To understand this simple thing you dont need to be expert about USA's constitution. Hyde act will be there and can always influence the parties involved in the nuclear deal.
