This paper analyzes the Indo-US civilian nuclear cooperation agreement. The author describes how there are misgivings from India about how much it would have to give up and apprehensions in the US over not extracting enough returns from India as a quid pro quo for the unprecedented concessions on offer. The paper states that although the US Congress was unhappy with the manner in which the Bush administration reversed its long-standing nuclear policy toward India without taking Congress along, there is no political indication that the legislative body would not entertain cooperation with India in reprocessing technologies in the future.
