Here is some support to Dr. Manmohan Singh from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who feels that the nuclear deal is beneficial to India.
He has appealed to all Indian political parties to display ‘magnanimity’ and support the troubled Indo-US nuclear deal. He says:
At a time when the country is faced with severe energy shortage, the government has negotiated a nuclear deal with the US, which can augment sustainable energy sources.
An interesting combination of Spirituality, Military and Big Bucks!
According to the US-India Business Council, the expansion of India’s civilian nuclear-energy program would generate $150 billion in commercial opportunities for American companies over the next 30 years. As illustrated by Lockheed’s proposal to sell its brand-new F-35 fighter to India’s air force, US defense industries also anticipate selling billions of dollars worth of military hardware to their newest strategic partner in Asia.
