India will not be permitted to join as a technology developer but as a recipient state. 4. India asked to participate in the international effort on nuclear non-proliferation, in accordance with US policies. 5.India to participate with the U.S. in a programme involving the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration to further nuclear non-proliferation goals. 6. U.S. President is required to annually report to the congress whether India is fully and actively participating in U.S. and international efforts to dissuade, isolate and if necessary sanction and contain IRAN for its pursuit of indigenous efforts to develop nuclear capabilities. Intrusion in to our foreign policy and decision making. 7.India is brought into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) which aims to deny India space related dual use technology and items. 8.The Act makes it explicit that if India conducts nuclear tests, the nuclear cooperation will be terminated and we will be required to return all equipment and materials India might have received under this deal.

Being The largest democracy I believe It should be other way round! Our Prime Minister should report to Parliament every Month on Aspects of American Foreign Policy not conducive to our interests vis a vis all issues including Nuclear.We should pass not Hide Act but an act called Open act which should allow us to combat any threat of Military action by Us on this issue by confiscating all their properties in India and investments . In oher words a total tit for tat policy exactly opposite to what Hide act says.

Be realistic. India is not the Super Power as is US. So no tit for tat. Let us stand first and be counted and then we can think about tit for tat.

9.The Act requires the U.S. to "encourage India to identify and declare a date by which India would be willing to stop production of fissile material for nuclear weapons unilaterally or pursuant to a multilateral moratorium or treaty 10.The Act is totally silent on the U.S. working with India to move towards universal nuclear disarmament, but it eloquently covers all aspects of non-proliferation controls of U.S. priority, into which they want to draw India into committing 11.According to this act all bilateral agreements with US will have to be in consistent with this act. 12.The Act is totally silent on the U.S. working with India to move towards universal nuclear disarmament, but it eloquently covers all aspects of non-proliferation controls of U.S. priority, into which they want to draw India into committing
If NDA comes to power and try to renegotiate the agreement the Congress will be drowned in the gush of peoples' emotions. It will take at least a century for it come-out in the lime-light. Sorry Mrs. Sonia. I feel pity.

Hyde act will make BJP hide in shame since they will accept anything if and when they get elected. If Jaswant Singh can lick Mulayam Singh's boots twice to beg for a chance to make 82 year old budhavoo PM, just imagine to what extent they will go to curry USA' mercy.

Brajesh Mishra, adviser to Vajpayee and NSA during NDA tenure rubbished re-negotiation. He said India may either have no deal or may get a worse deal since it takes two parties to agree to negotiate.
The next President Obama who recently made a turnaround to support the act may again turnaround to his hawkish stand
Renegotiatioon is just a confirmation hat Advani is senile.

Since Brijesh Mishra was closer to Atal Behari Vajpayee, do not be surprised if LK advani gets up one day and asks who is Brijesh Mishra? 82 year old budhavoo's only dream is to grab PM's chair. Kissa Kursi Ka?

Hyde Act is part of the agreement. It binds US government and once US Congress ratifies the agreement, it will have pass an India specific amendment. Please dispell your fears.

And if USA refuses to re-negotiate, BJP will have to lick its own vomit or drown in its vomit.
