This is a totally useless deal for India. There are other means of generating power which will be much more feasible and economical. Nuclear energy produced will always be very less and will not satisfy India's massive energy demands and the means to acquire it will not be cheap either. Also this jeopardizes India's nuclear program and internal security as India will be forced to sign the non proliferation treaty and should allow inspectors to visit our nuclear plants. The only people who will benefit is US corporates as they will sell us nuclear reactors and make billions of dollars. Does India, a country where 50 % people live on 2 dollars a day need this expensive deal ? Either way it seems India is fked again because of our short sighted,stupid,corrupt and selfish politicians.

The important thing is India would come out of the embargo, which is essential to progress. Nuclear energy is undergoing some revolutionary changes because other products apart from Uranium 236 can be used so this is not a totaly non repritionable fuel unlike coal or petrolium. This embargo had to go for our scientists to get the initial U236 power to work on fusion reactors as well apart from our thorium reactors, else why do you think the scientist community supports it unless you think they have political affiliations too.

what u are telling may be true but for our country to become a developed country the doors are half opened.Specially to people of India from Forward Cast,Backward Cast to any relegion all doors are closed for people of India to get developed and make country as developed country at any time.For our country the doors are much closed for development in an attempt like todays vote system and mass participation we may try to win and the doors may open everywhere.
