More loss than gain
by sg sg on Aug 30, 2007 10:54 AM  Permalink 

The more one reads boths sides of the story one actually feels that the deal is a lop sided one in favor of the US and not India. So wat is going on, why is the PM assuring us the moon when he really knows that actually he is cutting off our soverinity. So whose playing against India and its ambitions. Is the super PM being woo to make India an unstable country dependent on US entierly in the future for its defense.

please answer sardarji
by dev dath on Aug 26, 2007 03:48 PM  Permalink 

it is time our doctor saa puts pen to paper and tells all and clears the doubts how much possible

it looks our sardarji is trusting blindly bush and his good will. which may turn out to be good or deceptive and america can change policy when it suits

so if he clears the doubts then hte people will support him and his govt

the best policy in to put everything in openand be honest to oneself and others

the coin has two sides and i hope our sardar knows the other side well

Of Barking Dogs and the Passing Caravan!

There has been discussions earlier on the costs involved to bifurcate civilian and military nuclear plants to cover the supply of uranium to the civilian plants. The issue is therefore only for civilian cheap and clean power that is badly needed to solve India's power needs.

What are the critics' plans or suggestions put forward to get power? Nothing - because they are not capable of thinking any alternatives for themselves.

Which country has tested their nuclear weapons last? No one because much of the effects can be simulated in a computer so there is no real need to test now. Has not the BJP government unilaterally stated that India will not test. Why then this hullabaloo on testing? If the worse comes to worse and we need to test we can test and either convince US and NSG of why it was needed and if it is such a matter of National Importance then say goodbye to the fuel.

Is the present situation any better than what it will be when that situation happens. No. But India could have had the time to work out alternatives then when it happens.

There is some principles in the communist party - they are the Chinese tail. But what does one say about the BJP. Initially they wanted Dr Kakodkar etc to be involved. Now when they were and got the deal they have something else to say. This started only after the Chinese tail decided to wag in anger. Until just before that the BJP was taking credit for the deal saying that it was their opposition that earned India it.

Who needs sovereignty
by Minto on Aug 23, 2007 11:01 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

What is sovereignty? You cannot eat sovereignty. This treaty will cement close relation with USA further. When India was allied with commies, the growth rate was 2-3%. It has climbed to 9% after India embraced US. If we consolidate our ties further, in next fifteen years Indian per capita GDP will hit $10000. We will be just like western countries.
Sovereignty does not matter. Look at Japan. US still occupy Okinawa. Their nuclear battle ships are stationed there. But it does not make any difference so far as ordinary Japanese are concerned. It is great to be US client state as UK, Germany, Italy, whole of Western Europe illustrate.

Also, communists do not believe in sovereignty. They believe in international brotherhood of the proletariat.

There is a world of difference between a partnerships of equals than the doormat Dr Singh chose to make of Bharat.

Germany and Japan had a bloody encounter with the USA. They chose the path of peace in which the USA led the way. With such iconic figure as Gandhi as the supposed founding father of Bharat, nothing less than slavery should be expected of the people of Bharat. Why should the world treat Bharat kindly when its own people have been renowed for their treachery. Singh's example is the latest.

Great Britain is the close ally of the USA. It did not stop GB from steeling American nuclear know how to make its own atomic bombs, something to which it quietly approved of a dear friend and ally. That has been repeated with Pakistan which in America's eye can do no wrong despite their part in 9/11. It has been rewarded with billions of dollars in aid, and lucrative market contracts.

I do not suggest that Bharat should go to war with America. A good idea would be to clear out the cobweebs beginning with giving the Communists a taste of cold steel. If Pakistan and Bagladesh prove themselves equally provocative, we should give them a taste of the same medicine. All this would prove instructive to China which would think twice before claiming Arunchal Pradesh.
