What is outrageous is the fact a quasi-threatening letter could be sent to the Indian Prime minister by a bunch of US Congressmen, warning India to conduct its foreign relations on par with US ideologies.
What is damning is the silence by the PMO on this issue! I am sure by now the US ambassador is preparing a detailed clarification on this letter, which could be out in the weeks to come. The US ambassador is famous for these so called clarification press conferences, which he once made on our republic day eve.
What every Indian citizen will agree is that another country has no business in framing our foreign policy.
But, what is more damaging is the so called "under-ground" operations of the Indian Embassy in the US to procure sensitive-technology for Indian ballistic missile program which resulted in the indictment of two persons, an Indian citizen and another a Singaporean-Indian.
This is no different than the A.Q. Khan scandal where it was mentioned that he procured the sensitive technology from another country or as India put it as "Stealing". Does it mean we have?
What needs to be more clear is that India like any other country needs to put it's interest first before anything else! Otherwise India will continue to export mangoes to US in exchange for Harley Davidson motor bikes.

why do we keep calling it a "nuclear deal"? No one has a "deal" yet!
A deal is an agreement between two or more parties fixing obligation on each. So a nuclear deal is still in place but not "put to use" yet.
