Read the editorial "A Sound and Honourable 123" in the same Hindu less than 1 year back (06 August 2007) praising the 123 deal and the Prime Minister. Also see the cartoon published on the same day glorifying the Prime Minister as Houdini breaking the shackles of nuclear apartheid. So can you tell me what suddenly changed in the 123 deal after that?
I will tell you what has changed - China came out openly against our civil nuclear deal with the US and then all hell broke loose. And Hindu also had to do a volte-face completely reversing its stand loyal to its pro-CPM and pro-China stand.
Don't you know the nickname for the Hindu after the editorial stance exhibited by it in the last 10-15 years? It is "CBCNN" - Chennai Based Chinese National Newspaper.
