The nuclear offer of the US is not a friendly gesture to India as the Indian media is trying to portray but a process of surrender for India regarding its nuclear energy and weapons programme. If India buys nuclear power plants from the US, these would be under full-scale inspection of the IAEA, thus India cannot divert anything from these plants for the defense services. India will not get the reprocessing plant, without which it cannot manufacture nuclear weapons. If India buys not from the Russians, they would be reluctant to help India in future regarding missiles, rockets, and nuclear fuel enrichment programme.
Thus, gradually India nuclear weapons programme will disappear. India"s efforts to develop missiles and rockets would be affected adversely too. Thus, India would be much less powerful than Pakistan in every aspect, as Pakistan has no such constraints. It would continue to receive both advanced nuclear weapons and missiles from China in future as it had received in the past with the full knowledge of the US since the days of President Reagan.

Hey conspiracy theorist Dipak and all Leftist US bashers, try getting your heads around this one: You are today putting your message through a web portal. Think about it - this is not just an American invention, but more to the point, it has its origins in the US military. Does this mean that such e-communicating has suddenly given the US hegemonic control over Indian minds? Does this also mean we should constrain our communication to pre-emailing days to safeguard India against US imperialism over Indian thought? Giving you pause to wonder? The story gets better. I can rattle on ad nauseum about the "withering powers of imperialist US technology/know-how on chaste Indians" - did I mention that chaste Indian minds also includes the Kama Sutra? Now Dipak, you sound like an educated man, and I'm sure you too enjoy the many virtues of electronic technology - both good and bad! But here's the rub Dipak: today, Indian minds form a large part of all the "so-called destructive/imperialist powers of the US", be it civilian or military. I'll give you a piece of the big puzzle - think of the IIT graduates through the years and where many of them ended up? Jai Hind!
