Civilian nuclear deal
by arungopal agarwal on Apr 30, 2007 12:01 PM  Permalink 

We are dependent on advanced countries to run/develop the nuclear energy,for the purpose of using it on mass scale for producing electricity etc.,etc., We must finalise the deal as early as possible, keeping in mind the national interest. actually we are starving for energy and water.

No deal with the US
by Murthy on Apr 30, 2007 11:55 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies


Average Indian is a cheat, dishonest, hypocrite (stupid kissing issues), liar, tax cheat (only 2% of Indians pay taxes honestly), and over religious to the core (do all bad things and bath in ganges, sins abolished !) and even worse bribes god (Amitabh gifting 51 lakhs to the Tirupathy for favors)


THESE AREAS NEED URGENT ATTENTION and not idiot chanting of stupid deals.

OBC Quota System for Nuclear Deal?
by AmarAkbar Antony on Apr 30, 2007 11:44 AM  Permalink 

Good idea - Manmohan can send Arjun Singh to meet George Bush and plead that the nuclear cooperation deal be salvaged on the basis of OBC (Other Backward Country) Quota System.

Again US called for Indian Government for further 123 agreement. I donot know how long this discussion is going on. Simply Indian should forgo to begging method. We have lot of own resources and huge manpower if we utilize the correct way there is no need to beg from any country,

You got to be kidding.

How MUCH percentage of Indians are scientists and engineers ? If you don't know it is 0.2%.

Average Indian is barely 8th pass and 90% dropout by 10th standard, and mind you only 15% are studied in English medium.

Don't give up reprocessing
by Brijesh P on Apr 30, 2007 10:54 AM  Permalink 

Don't give up reprocessing right..It will be integral to fuel cycle independence and
also to deal with the possible growing stockpile of spent fuel. Also many developed countries are investing in this technology and why shouldn't we ?
For ref: Read the article on Reprocessing
in IEEE Spectrum
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/feb07/4891
http://www.princeton.edu/~globsec/publications/pdf/Sciencev293n5539.pd f
Also read the Plutonium: A History of the World's Most Dangerous Element (Hardcover)
by Jeremy Bernstein (Author)
where US plans to reprocess spent fuel as a part of its nuclear renaissance plans is discussed

Bottonline question - why can't we be in the forefront of the most advanced technology ?
Just because we are developing should be always be performing support roles to the developed world ?

Mukhtar, all u present day muslims in the world are illegal and unislamic muslims. Did you know that Prophet Muhammad had fixed abn expiry date for Islam? He said and i quote:"En salahat ummati fa laha yom. Va en fasadat fa laha nesfe yom. Val yomo ende rabbeka alfe sanaton men ma taedoon"%u2014if my Ummah becomes righteous, it shall last one day, if corrupted, it shall last half a day. And a day of your lord is equivalent of a thousand years of your accounting". On the basis of the above, Islam ended in 1622AD-at the most 1630 AD. All u muslims disobeyed your Prophet and continue to practice it in 2007 AD. The result is that non-muslim countries have progressed more than muslim countries-a fact accepted by Jang newspaper of Pakistan.

Mukhtar, have u read the Al-Quran. I will cite for u the verse(ayat) no.12 of chapter(Sura) no.8 which reads as under:"Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers(muslims): I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers(non-muslims): smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." Note the word "terror" used in Quaran. I can cite may more verses. So, the US is taking a cue out the Arabic terror manual called Quran and giving the muslims a dose of their own medicine. So, don't complain.

What country is North-East
by Kamsten Yangte on Apr 30, 2007 10:49 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

North East(India??) is a very neglected region.
No PM, President, FM or even HM from this region since Independence.
No development in this region
People of this region do not even look like Indians.
North East does not like cricket and NE people are mistaken as Chinese when they visit other parts of india.
I doubt any of the readers can tell the state capitals of Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura but of AP, TN and Karnataka they will have no problem.
So ask yourself if NE is not alienated? Can you blame the people of the NE if they become violent against the Indian establishment?
Ask yourself, as even the media coverage of this region is negligible.
Has rediff or any other Indian website covering NE adequately?
Anyway, most probably nobody of you is bothered other than the silly game of cricket.

Thanks,
Kamsten

Kamsten, Your comments and frustrations are outside this topic. But this should be viewed with utmost sincerity by Rediff. We hear news about Assam ULFA, Nagaland Issac and muivah, BODO and few others and army operations on them. I sincerely request Rediff to give spotlight on North East and produce articles for the benefit of the people in the rest of India.
The capital of Manipur - Imphal, Mizoram - Aizwahl, Tripura - Agartala. Please correct me if I am wrong.

But point taken.

My friend, The poblem is not india, its UP, BIHAR, bengal. These states contol the country, Most promionisters, HM, FM, Defence Mins come form here. I agree the NE has less share in terms of total but its share is propotional to population.

I do not agree completely my friend, if the share was proportional to population then, NE would have got more and better representaion at the top. Some of them even used states in NE for fostering people for Rajya Sabha seats when they were not even from that region. eg Manmohan Singh..all this at the expense of local people.

My friend, I come from maharashtra. which is the second largets state in terms of population. be did not have any PM, prez. we do have the current HM. and sharad powar. but by share of polulation its less than half than what it should have been. Like NE we have a huge influx of outsider. Mumbai has less than 20 % maharashtrain(which stood at at 70% in 1991) we all have share of problems. but it will take time.

You are a typical foul mouth indian who has no ability to debate and shows your upbringing. Anyway i do not want to stoop to your level.
Except for Sangma, others you mentioned were not even from NE but used NE for thier political advantage.

Dear Kamsten, your only point is correct that is less media coverage of that NE region, otherwise in some area of businesses you have the monopoly like in Tea, Plywooed etc. We are living in a big country, 7th largest in area in the globe. every region have difference faces from Kashmir to kanyakumari, from Rajastahn to Manipur, Mizoram, so how can they look like each other. Can NE state's resident easily tell the capital of states like Uttaranchal, Himachal, Jharkhand.

I am from Rajasthan we also don't have much development in our region.

Actually you are not neglected this problem is with every region because of the size of the country and approach of the politicians.

Hey Kamsten,
Cool down man. I am from north India (Varanasi, UP) and I have several of my friend in NE states. Several of your accusations are right that NE is neglected and people in rest of India are actually not much aware of this part of India. However stating the diference that NE guys don't like silly cricket and hence it is also one of the difference is actually silly thinking. I also do not like circket but difference comes at some other place. Like in my college in UP, around 30 of NE students were there but hardly anyone was interested in study and a bit of hardwork. All could matter to them was rock music and dance and leisure time.
Make no mistake that half of the problem of NE states are not of negligence but people themselves. Let me call it bluntly: Large no. of them are lazy, not interested in hardwork, not realy interested in serious education. No body gave a training to Punjabis and Gujratis that they start things from scratch and eventually a successful businessman. I had been in Aizawl, Dibrugarh and other small places in NE but look at this.....local shop would close the shop by 4-5 pm and outsider (marwadis etc) would open the shop at 8pm and sell stuffs, if a customer arrives. May I ask that NE adopted western culture is indigenous to them ??? What the hell is with them that they do not want to work (read hardwork) for the sake of their own devlopment. FYI, I married to a girl from Dibrugarh and live in San Jose, USA.

Deep,
I would agree with you that msot ppl from NE are interested in music but that does not mean all of them are lazy or not career oriented. Its just the way of looking at things.
I do not know what you mean by 'western' culture as even east asians are interested in music and dance, but not necessarily bollywood.

Dear kamsten,
Most regions/states/ communities in India have their grievances aginst the Central Govt. for various reasons. The politicians tend to arouse jingoisim in the people on these issues for petty political gains . I am from Punjab and for the last 10 years I have been living in Himachal Pradesh. I have spent some time In Guwahati a few years ago. Though there have been no PM, Prez, FM, HM etc from HP, but this small hilly state has done wonders with development of infrastrucutre, education facilities etc. This is all beacuse of the focussed attention of the parties who were forced by the people to take up developmental issues instead of mere hot sloganeering. This is the key to development of varous regions. We the people will have to take a part of the responsibility for the state we find ourselves in and vow to change that locally. Then no one can stop us from reaching the status of a fully developed country in every respect.

dear all,
i am afraid the debate is assuming slanderous proportions and trivialities are being dangerously generalized - i shall substantiate: shops in europe and all over the west shut down at six or so; is it because they are lazy? i think the north east is so rich in its culture and resources - both human and natural - that the future belongs to our brothers and sisters from the north east. with every state in the north east now possessing a central university, an i i m at shillong, with good schools and colleges, the full potential of the high quality human resource in the region would be realised in the near future. i wish all people in the north east states all the very best.
