Anyone will find the agreement good for India in the first instance. There are lot of serious implications associated with the agreement, which will literally put India in hands tied situation. First of all, 123 agreement does not recognise India as a nuclear weapon state, and hence all the special privilages enjoyed by other nuclear states will be denied to India. This is the crux of bone of contention. All the five nuclear power states have the freedom to possess nuclear weapons as well as to develop/research further. As per 123, US can withdraw from agreement and take back the fuel and technology at any time. In future, if India conducts any nuclear test, surely they will stop fuel supply and force other contries to do the same. We already had the experience in case of Tarapur nuclear plant. Not only nuclear test, if US feels India does not align with their world politics, they can do the same and they will do the same. In such India will clearly be the loser after spending billions of dollars for nuclear plants and the country's dependance on nuclear energy. It essentially means, India can never have nuclear weapons as well as the right to have it, should the situation demands. We are literally have our hands tied. That is the reason all nuclear states, including China, whole heartedly supports the agreement. Without having right to have say on our own security matters, we cannot become super power at all, though traitor MMS and congress say the opposite.

There is no explicit mention in 123/safe guard agreement by which one can think of this serious and critical implications and that is where most of the common people are lost. This is what exactly Bush administration projects to US congress and senate that he finally tamed India, who is non-signatory of onesided, discriminative NPT. Just because Commies are opposing, it does not mean, it is good for India. Hence the deal is cleary against our national intrest. The question here is, whether we should go for nuclear stuff from US, mainly, by giving up our right of self determination on our security matters, or not. There are hell lot of other hidden implications related to our nuclear reasearch as well
