Benefits to US: 1) isolating India's commercial and military reactors; India's nuclear program will become more transparent 2) Selling reactors to India 3) Getting India into NSG; this will help non-proliferation Advamtages to India: 1) Strategic partnership with US and West; sending a clear message to China
Disadvantages to India: 1) Cant conduct nuclear test easily;
However, a future government can conduct Pokhran-III and quickly sign CTBT; this will allow India to continue its program; in any case France and Russia are openly supporting India; US will not be blind and dumb to lose the Indian market to France and Russia.

How do you say win win situation? If there is war on Mars on Venus the US will tell us to send the troops or will say 'No Uranium'. This is the bad image of US, Russia or any other country. We have super brains who started the reactor Dhruv and many other nuclear plants. Why should we stoop down as a nation when we are more than 1 billion? How are outsiders entering our market through WTO which are against the interest of Indian Industries. The freedom fighters fought to see that we are second to none even with two roties and subji to eat. But still we are living and the most brainy people. Poor can enter IIT whereas an average westerner is having I.Q. less than our so called dull children. Indians should stand up as a nation and have self respect than lick the boots of Angrezi.
