There is another side of this, India is all alone in this world, may be like Iran. How long we can continue like this. Why should we can sign this agreement and join with US as Israel or Pakistan. Even if we didn’t sign CTBT or NPT, how much chance is left for us to do another N-test? If we don’t have much chance then why we are keeping it emblematic. Instead why not we signing it and better being friendly with USA, which may increase our business relation and security treats. Also when we are not having enough Uranium in stock. Thorium reactors will take another 20-30years. Or is there a real chance for further negotiations, for us to keep our rights and getting Uranium from others? Why should other countries give us Uranium?

so this deal is not about energy at all.if we sign the deal we cannot test nuclear weapons, as you say if we do not sign we will not get uranium . if we are not going to test the weapons , then which is the better option? then we should bargain with america to make us member of security council at least..in the mean time devlop local capability.Look at china.s deal. no wonder the govt does not want it to be discussed openly in parliament.

Well said. I think we are trying to hide under the US even though we are fully capable of defending ourselves to any threat. We already have lots of problems on security side and I donot understand why we are trying to increase it by going for the deal. I can't understand why we are giving away our freedom and sovereignity just for a mere 2.9% of increase of power.
