Sovereign status........!!!

India’s decision to postpone the signing of the nuclear deal till it gets President Bush’s signature is correct.There is no need to rush through an important deal when the American side of the formalities are not over. If, by chance, the obligation was on the part of India in a similar deal, would the American President sign such an incomplete document? India and the US are sovereign states and they must respect our national status. Whatever the stakes India must take all precautions before it signs such an important deal. India displayed maturity without hurting its partner and the US should accept this with grace.
