Is there anything to Hyde?

The Hyde Act is divided into the binding and non-binding clauses. As per this report, what the left is objecting to is contained in the non-binding portion. But on a cursory glance of the Act I had yesterday, I felt that there was more to this than what meets the eye. There are "portions" in the binding portions too which might cause problems. I will post on this after studying the Act in its entirety and what 123 means to India. Is it going to be as simple as 123?

Surely, if this goes through, a major energy crisis within our country would be averted and it would help India on a large scale. But should we not exercise care and also ensure that we dont bow down but get things on our terms?

126 Military agreement is on the anvil. This has already caused a stir in the region with China and Pakistan upping their ante.

We should remember that the US Presidents are very powerful in that they can exercise three powers by which they can pass the executive orders, they can veto and they also have the extraordinary ability to cause acts such as the Hyde to be amended. This actually enables them to act as dictators. So we should exercise the utmost care and read between the lines but at the same time try to benefit the maximum out of the given scenario
