Paying Dividends: The U.S.-India Nuclear Deal Four Years On

[sexy gun]

Well not correctly, Now US has realised that it is now a fading star and new star has already borns in which India is also present. Thats why US attitude has changed.

Few Factors that incorporated :

A) Indian Defence System is not started manufactured in India , projects getting matured.
Eg : when sectioned by US ,
1) India Developed its own Supercomputer and its technology.
2) India ISRO reached to a state where it can beat NASA in next 20 years, within Next 10 years India will reach to the point where is NASA is today., Reusable Sats vehicle etc .
3) When US company left , they didn't give the code which worked with India, DRDO develop its own code again .
When EU realised that India is on the verge of technologic; breakthrough , wether you wanna be party or not it not matter to India. that why EU offered India an engine because after few years they know india will make engine , so why not help india and make money.

When US saw every country is with India and its now standing alone , why you also make be friend of india , as India is rising star.

About Nuclear : India nuclear technology, is on the breakthrough in Thorium Technology, which is future. India is world leader in thorium and majority of Thorium lies in India.

So Even is US , Australia allow India Uranium or not, India thorium technology will get mature in next 5-10 years and their will not use of US/Australia. So US enter in last leg of the cycle

US tried to sell its ABM but India said not and decided with wait for 5-10 years for its own system.

Things are changing and US realised that, After 20 years US need India not India need US .

Exactly !! To add to it, history is replete with such Instances. When we asked for Arrow?patriot systems the answer was no. And when we developed ABM (still to mature ) they offer us patriot/arrow every other day....

And I don't know how much people would like to acknowledge, India is in the forefront when it comes to Thorium utilization and Nuclear Fusion Research !!

One of the biggest positive to come out of Nuclear deal is perhaps the realizing of the fact by US that Policy of Denial doesnot serve any purpose. Several comments have been made on arms that we purchased, Dual use technology that we are able to get more easily etc, but the fact remains US is searching for newer partners in South East Asian region.
In Late 70s when Presidents Carter and later Reagen were offering similar Nuclear Technology to China, the US administration had two things in mind. First to contain Soviets and secondly realizing the fact that China would sooner or later catch US.
India stands at similar juncture today.
4 years down the line we still buy our nuclear fuel from Russia and France. The much anticipated foreign reactors in near future would be Russian (Kudanklam 3-6, VVER 1000/1200) and French (Jaitapur 1-6, EPR). The earliest US reactors Bhavnagar (Gujarat) may even not materialize in this decade. To cut things short, US hasn't gained much in nuclear sector but it has been able to have a significant say in Indian Strategic sector.
For South East Asia Policy makers in Capitol Hill, this itself would be significant achievement.
