Are you in favour of the nuclear deal or against it? Will it benefit the common man or make little difference?

Manjari Shivahare: The nuclear deal signed by Prime Minister Manhoman Singh and President George W. Bush in 2005 and ratified in 2008 is a historic landmark in India's foreign relations, It marks India's growth as a nation to be favoured and wooed by the most powerful countries of the world. It acknowledges India's stand that it has never used its nuclear facilities as a threat against its neighbours, only as a deterrent and safeguard. I favor it strongly because it enables India to enhance its energy producing capacity and this will have a direct benefit and impact on the common man as electricity becomes more freely available. Nuclear energy is nonpolluting and the far reaching effects of replacing thermal energy with nuclear energy will be an environment friendly alternative.
