Coming around by Mr. Varadarajan is a great step for national consensus. This U-turn for The Hindu group could not have come easy. His caveat on prudential strategy is perhaps for internal audiance, or may be clean break is so emotionally taxing!
Once legality is in place, specific implementations would be competitive on all aspects of the deal and application of thought would be of sophisticated order. Makes sense for India to let all compete on level playing ground.
Presently, we need to express our gratitude to US negotiators for taking responsibility to be enablers of the deal on behalf of India.

Road blocks, deliberate or otherwise, which seek India to compromise on a non-reciprocal basis can not be ruled out. If that happens, hopefully India would not be found wanting to enforce effective counter measures for abrogation of the N-deal. Let us not forget history as yo how US had opened up Japan over a century earlier.

Internal national unity, despite grave provocation is therefore absolute necessary to be able to handle the fallouts of failure, if any, in the N-deal.
