I had always been perplexed on the contentious issue of the Indo-US nuclear deal ever since Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to the US in 2005. I read editorials, articles, and interviews discussing both sides of the matter, but could not come to a reasoned conclusion myself.
India has to look into herself for the uranium required for her existing plants and also for the plants under development according to an article (read here ) by Associated Press journalist Neelesh Misra published in the Hindustan Times.
I am still no where close to finding a stance on the Indo-US nuke deal. But I have one question – why has this information been kept as a loosely guarded secret for 3-4years now?
My thanks to M J Akbar for his leader page article, in the Khaleej Times dated 22 June 2008, that brought this news out (read article here).

nuclear deal is nothing but a geopolitical . India already has lot of thorium reserve that we have been taught in our schol days also - but that is not economically viable to mine till now .
But current negotiation is not more about enrgy security only its more about USA taking INDIA as strategic ally - so lot more on defence and investment can flow to India .
USA is looking to India to counter CHINA .
But its also true if India falls in Line - lot of money / technology will flow form USA to India . AND WE WANT BOTH TECHNOLOGY AND MONEY .
