You said :"Manmohan Singh has issued anodyne statements assuring Indians that not all of India's civilian facilities will be turned over to the IAEA's intrusive inspections. However, that's not what the IAEA's ElBaradei thinks; and this is not what Nicholas Burns himself thinks."
Can give some links to confirm what these people have actually said.
I agree that "Solar" energy holds great promise in India.

"all civilian facilities" etc.
It's very interesting reading Rajeev. Of all the respected people I read, only Swapan Dasgupta and K.Subramanyam think it's not such a bad deal. I don't understand all the details very well, but I am skeptical too. India has a reputation of never having negotiated any thing to their advantage. May be we can hope that the deal doesn't pass US Congress.
