India and Nuclear Deal

At last India has crossed the final hurdle with NSG, getting the Energy Waiver. The final step towards the Nuclear Deal with USA. (Of course the Australia Barrier is still there...)

There is wrong understanding by people (opposition) about the nuclear deal. I have some friends in BJP as well as CPM (the place where I grew). They have no objections on the treaty to do trade. What they are worried about is the right to test, and there is clarity now with the waiver. But according to Hyde Act, USA would terminate the deal, if India does nuclear tests (Do you know that BARC continues to do Cyclotron Nuclear tests everyday?). You see, still Australia is troubled to sell enriched Uranium to us. Why? They are not in good trading terms or they don't want to be dictated by USA! Chinese wanted to be heard by India only, rather than Bush calling their Premier. That was the last hiccup!

God Help India!
