to note again its only the leftists who are opposing the deal. not even a single party other than left is solidly coming forward to object it. all the other parties are like "fox at the well" waiting when will the govt fall and they can take up the deal forward... its not about being a submissive partner to US but its all about the means to meet our energy needs. we dont have any uranium deposits or else it would be like damn the US ..but unfortunately we have to depend on the NSG which inturn is US held organisation....hindi mein ek kahawat hai ki "kaam padne par gadhey ko bhi baap banaana padtha hai"...its a sort of same thing with us...
