India's hopes that President Bush's "Next Steps in the Strategic
Partnership with India" would lead to easier access to US high
technology, especially for its space programme, have been dashed. USA
had placed severe restrictions on transfer of dual-use technologies,
which have both civilian and military applications, to India following
its 1974 nuclear tests.

If the Government of India would pay more attention to its starving, utterly
impoverished people and less attention to a completely useless "space
program" they might be just a bit better off.

Good thing then that the Indians dont take advice from idiots like you.
