It was a surprise for the Indian govt. that the majority of the people in the U.S govt. okays the nuclear deal and atleast the first hurdle has been crossed. A few amendments have been made though by the review team. Now comes the major step:- i.e the voting by the Senate all 435 members shall vote on the deal and India hopes it comes in their favour. One disturbing thing about the deal is that the U.S wants India to stop testing missiles ( like they did in 1998 ) and wants it to stop pursuing enrichment activities. Now , India IS A RESPONSIBLE NUCLEAR POWER. WE HAVE NEVER USED WMD'S AGAINST ANY NATION NOR DO WE SELL NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO THE SO CALLED ' ROGUES STATES '. But India needs a nuclear deterrent. India is currently researching the Surya ( Fire ) ICBM having a range of 12,000 km ( which makes it equal to the Chinese DF-21 ) . If the U.S wants India to stop researching on nuclear weapons etc. how can India protect its sovereignty. We need nuclear weapons. There is war going on un Kashmir with terrorists funded and supplied by various jihadist orgs. We have a disputed border with China ( The Mc Mohan Line ) We still havent forgotten how China invaded us in 1962!! While India is competing with China to become the Asian superpower how can we give up our nukes ?? I know this topic doesnt come under U.S affairs but well ...... I do need an opinion on this as I still dont understand what problem does U.S have with India testing missiles !!!
