Extract: "20. Yes, it is a fact that the nuclear deal is not an act of charity by the US in a moment of magnanimity to India. It is part of a strategic package. Our examination of the package should be influenced not by our past memories of our relations with the US, but by our present experience of it and our future expectations from it. If we examine objectively, we will have to accept that a strategic partnership with the US can act as a much-needed catalysts in enabling us to catch up with China economically despite our belated start and moderating its military and big-power ambitions." - b.raman
