Say, there are two options for a company to acquire a technology Option A: Spend money on R and D and develop it inhouse. Advantage - we have absolute control minus - takes time. we are not sure if we can do it Option B: Get into a deal with the company who hold this technology. advantage - faster access to technology and better results minus - not complete control there are no clear answers. it all depends on the output expected within the timeframe.

Ivlo capability namba kitte ivlo naala irundhiruku na why did we wait till this N-deal from US to talk about our capability? What has been done till now? Ivlo naal summa irundhutu, ippo US na udaney,'aang idhellam namo US help illamale nalla seyvom' nu sonna konjam logicaly idikudhu. What prevented us? As I mentioned, there is always an element of uncertainty and risk in any key decisions. This N-deal is no exception. There is something called 'Acting in good faith'. We shud do some ground work looking for obvious pitfalls and move ahead. 'Ahaa ivan vandhaale edhuvo villangam irukkum' nu nenachu bayanthutte utkarndhu irukaradhu is not going to take us anywhere.

So why are we underestimating our capabilities? Inspite of not signing NPT, we were able to create Nuclear reactors on our own, maybe with little help with Russia - that itself is a stupendous achievement isnt it? One one side we complain about not making scientific advancements and on other hand we just throw ourselves into accept foreign technology. Maybe the nuclear deal is also like a trap for making India sign the NPT. Few countries have already made the reservations on India not signing the NPT but still getting assistance from US. And regarding Thorium, I think India had about 20-30% of the world's thorium reserves.
