Nuclear Deal : Favourable | Against

The misconceptions created by PM Manmohan Singh and FM pranab Mukharjee that we can retain our sovereignty of nuclear tests, was the root of all chaos we have been watching for last two years.Inception of the nuclear deal begin in July 2005 when PM went to US to attend a summit to discuss research and technological issues with George W. Bush. After too much brainstorming sessions an agreement was passed in Indian parliament. The name of argument was 123 agreement which says that US will provide nuclear technology support and fuel to India. Nothing was mentioned about nuclear test and fuel enrichment. In DEC 2006 , the Hyde act was passed in US congress . Section 106 of the same says that if any US alliance do nuclear tests, the US has to immediately cut its fuel supplies. After facing retaliation by many groups in India, Congress party India did a funny campaign that Hyde act is for US to follow and for us it's only 123 agreement , in which no where mentioned that we can't continue our tests and also hyde act has many extraneous provisions which are not relevant in our case. But when experts did a research on it, they found out that India will loose its sovereignty to conduct nuclear test. As a result Left parties backed out in Aug 2007 and the deal has not been operationalized.

So far Experts says No But PM says Yes.

COUNTER VIEW
The deal is in its final stage where India has to make an assertive decision and nuclear deal is like a low hanging fruit which if UPA government won't pluck the coming government will pluck. The argument that the deal is fruitful can be substantiate by the Pokaran Nuclear test incident when the whole world except France was against it.To end the nuclear energy isolation Indian PM at that time Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee went to US because it was assumed that NSG( Nuclear Supplier Group) rules can't be changed without a major US initiative. Even now India hasn't come up with a sustainable image. So, to regain access to international nuclear energy markets, India needs the support of all major powers, so one thing is clear that deal was never about pro-US or anti-US. It was about changing the nuclear regime in favor of India. The world which sanctioned against India few years ago, they are now eager to promote India's nuclear deal Initiative.

It's a very tough decision which path to take , even I couldn't make mind which choice to support, what I can suggest is to carry on negotiations up to an optimum level and finalize the deal, which will bring the country upfront.
