    Getting the sitemap.xml file indexed in Google is good or bad?
    if i do it "noindex" then will it hurt its purpose of providing link data to Google?

    How can avoide PR juice to pass towards sitemap file?
    if i do it "nofollow" then will it hurt its original purpose again?

    please guide me experts :confused:

    Meta tag Noindex prevents from indexing a page. That's bad, I don't recommend to use it. If your purpose is just preventing pr juice from your site, you can use rel="nofollow" in you <a> tag. <a href="" rel="nofollow">text</a> I use the following method. Put all external links on one page, suppose links.html. Make all links to this page with nofollow. And block links.html in robots.txt. Disallow: /links.html

    if you put a sitemap in to googles webmaster tool section, you site will be crawled quickly, thi si show I got 1 site indexed in less than 36 hours from creation.

    If your pages are not linked properly or have ajax pages, sitemap is must have. Otherwise, is only good for statistics (ratio: indexed pages/whole number of pages in sitemap). This will show you how much google likes your pages, but give it a time to crawl.

    with sitemap link in your homepage, google will read your pages more quickly, even the old page will always be crawled by google
