1) Russia is building several nuclear plants and FBR without any 123 Deal and the last PM of Russia Fradkov came to India recently to offer another 6 plants without any IAEA deal. The argument of Russia is that the deal between India and the Soviet Union was made in 1988, so it is binding; there is no need for 123 Deal.
2) India has enough natural uranium, but AEC does not bother to utilize these just to create an artificial crisis. There are a number of countries with huge natural uranium but these are outside the jurisdiction of NSG or USA. Also after the completion of Thorium-Uranium mixed plant which the Russians making and the FBR ( you need to wait 3-4 years) there will not be much need for massive amount of natural uranium. The problem for India is for the short period and it was created by USA with full collaboration of the Sarkari scientists just to promote NPT. 123 Deal is not alone, it is accompanied by Hyde Act, IAEA treaty, NSG treaty and Fission material cut off treaty.
3) Putting all together it means the end of Indian nuclear research and nuclear weapons programme, as India will not be allowed to import any equipment or materials for the military sector. USA and IAEA not India will determine what would go to the military sector. All these parts are left vague in the IAEA treaty deliberately. This IAEA treaty is the same as that for any non-nuclear weapons country. There is nothing India specific really.

Its me...I wonder if u have read the agreement? What Dipak is saying is true. Also, the only India specific thing in the agreement is the Hyde Act by which it is governed. Which means more restrictions and unacceptable terms for India.
