Dear Mr Siddiqui, Neither the deal is going to affect the foreign policy for 50 years nor the coming generations will have to suffer from it. The deal is initially valid for 40 years and automatically renewable to the duration of 10 years each after expiry. So its a never ending deal which can be revoked by giving 1 year notice by the either party (reasons for such withdrawal must be stated). It is clearly stated that the sovereignty, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality, mutual benefit, reciprocity and due respect for each other's nuclear programmes will be followed. Commitment towards the prevention of proliferation of nuclear warheads is there which is in no way like signing NPT which has been against India’s foreign policy, all of us know that every citizen of the world is against any kind of nuclear war. This deal is about India getting access to uninterrupted fuel supply for the lifetime of its nuclear reactors. The fuel must be used for peaceful purposes, if violated then US/NSG have right to require return by the other Party of any nuclear material, equipment, non-nuclear material or components transferred under this Agreement and any special fissionable material produced through their use.

If India is good with them it may get supply etc. We can get supply from France or Russia but these countries also will follow what US dictates.

Dear Rasheed,
UR urself contradicting ur words, u know USA is so powerful that they can influnce France and Russia means whethere we sign a deal or not we dont have a option to be good with USA. In world politics no permenant enemy no permenant freinds take example of Russia & USA or USA & Japan........ So better to be friend with USA and benifit from it, like Nuclear fuel, parmenant UN seat and some more...
