What reason would the US Government have to oppose Indian development of nuclear power?This is from the Wall Street Journal, India.Locals Resume Anti-Nuclear Protest
A day after work resumed at a large nuclear power plant in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu, anti-nuclear protestors are up in arms against the state government’s decision to begin work at the site....
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa gave a go-ahead to resume construction work at the Russia-backed project, ......
Ms. Jayalalithaa’s move comes after the Indian government alleged illicit foreign funding was behind the protests. According to reports, the government ordered cases to be registered against four non-governmental organizations for allegedly receiving illicit funding to encourage anti-nuclear protests in Tamil Nadu. A German national was also deported for his alleged involvement in the protests, though he denies any wrongdoing.
This is a topic Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has also weighed in on. In a magazine interview published in February, Mr. Singh alleged that “the atomic energy program has got into difficulties” because of the opposition of NGOs, “mostly I think based in the U.S.” In the same interview, Mr. Singh claimed that the “thinking segment” of India’s population supported nuclear power. He pointed at India’s need to increase its energy supply.

I wonder if American feel that the Wall Street Journal would qualify as chaotic or shoddy journalism.
Our PM is a very pro US person ('Mr Bush, India loves you' is his quote when he met Mr Bush). If he feels that way he felt over the issue, then one cannot dismiss his comments perfunctorily.
Most of the Indian editors are foreign educated (Oxford or Cambridge or Harvard or Princeton).
The reason why US is not comfortable over the nuclear plant is that it is Russian backed, while it was the US (Mr Bush actually) which got India clearance for international nuclear fuel supply and, it was understood that India would buy US nuclear plant. The Liability factor on the supplier is what is the hurdle with the US nuclear plants. India is very careful on that after the Union Carbide case which caused the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
2. Amnesty International is not a Mary Poppins inspite of the hype.
I endorse the American opinion of this organisation and add it is also pro terrorist. Human rights is one thing and bending backward to castigate the Govt alone and not the terrorists is another.
3. Funding organisations that superstitiously espouse the Maoist and terrorist cause is indeed a part of a destabilisation at work.
The Tablighi organisation is a charitable organisation, but the ulterior aim is something else.

I am sure the Islamic countries would feel that this is unfair since the Talblighi works amongst the American poor and the deprived!FBI monitors Islamic group Tablighi Jamaat at Masjid Al-Falah Queens New York

And is unnecessarily being taken to be an organisation that is radicalising people and turning them into terrorists.
