The deal is in the best interest of India:
India neednot compromise on its weapons programme..it neednot compromise on itS weapons programme or put it’s nuclear facilities under fullscope safeguards.
It gives india assured fuel supplies for it’s civilian nuclear reactors in return for them going under permanent safeguareds.
It allows india to reprocess and recycle it’s spent fuel.
doors will now open for hi tech and dual use tech in sectors as diverse as IT, defence, space and pharmaceuticals.
India will get recognition as a state with advanced nuclear technology and won,t be considered as a nucler pariah.
Tough der are possible pitfalls like the deal may be annuled if India conducts a nuclear deal.
and that the bar on tests would be upheld by the nulear supplier,s group.
also US may controll India,s foreign policy but aren’t there pros and cons to every situation.. the deal would allow India to achieve it,s energy targets of 20,000MW of power by 2020.also it,s clean energy and savings on carbon emissions would be big.

Thank you Dweep. I love reading your blog as well. Very informative and well written.

I agree with your observation. Now, its become an ego issue all around.

Lets just hope for the best that sanity prevails

Thanks Neuro for the link…the current impasse is really counter-productive. But its not just the left – even the PM is to blame for making this an “ego” issue. Still, there’s a way out.

Eclectic blog, btw.

..i try to sound like an expert. part of my bread and butter:)

And we all know how prescient “expert” opinions are most times.

I like your blog btw. To each his own. Which is what makes the world interesting. And chaotic.

Thanks for clarifying you are no expert.

For when you write,

“So to think,( the US would, based on an epiphany, decide one day to renege the deal) is at best naive and at worst an indicator of lack of understanding of international commerce and geo-political imperatives.

you definitely sound like one.

Then I presume you will accept that what you write is only “your opinion” and not an expert evidence. And may not be necessarily correct.

Thanks anyway,
I will not debate this here any further.
