How many nuclear bombs you want to protect our country?I think one is enough and we have that capabilities. Gov. instead look after other issues such as infrastructure development,eductaion for all,uplifting the life style of citizens living in both urban and rural areas,increasing the capabilities of homeland security(to prevent terrorists attack....you dont need nuclear bomb for this),decrease pollution and so on.To do these, you need nuclear power not nuclear bomb!

You there whatever, There are many things one might do to improve the plight of the poor people in India. A panel of nuclear bombs is not the solution but the nuclear power. Nuclear disarmament will improve the stability our planet. Being a headstrong you can kill yourself but dont let your deed being the burden of others.

Nuclear disarmament?? Are you crazy ?? We have two countries with nukes on our borders. Nuclear disarmament will never imcrease stability because theres too many nations with nukes, and even if all agree to disarm there is too much incentive to still hold on to them in secret. Besides the USA and russia will never disarm, and consequently no one else will. If india disarms, the rest will remain armed, so our security will be severly compromised.

I believe Mr Singh's statement was to show that india would retain the right to conduct nuclear explosions if required. The government , whatever may be its shortcomings , is trying to develop the infrastructure of India and energy security is essential for growth and development. Mr. Mukherjee, and if the country is strong and stable, all of us will prosper and be benefitted.

Thats what every other Gov said-they are trying their best! Honestly, not many things regarding the developments are done so far. On the contrary what British developed, was not even maintained. In the current paradigm, rich people are becoming richest (example Ambanis, Bajaj and so on) and poor people are becoming poorest. The allocation of wealth is so unjustifiably restricted to a certain community that I would shame to call it a development. Another person in the forum has mentioned about the health. That is another restricted facility to the rich people. So the bottom line is: NO DEVELOPMENT.

There is nothing wrong in rich becomes richer. On the otherhand, the money allocated for poverty alleviation is siphoned off by politicians and executives including IAS officers. Poor people cannot expect any govt to do miracles to uplift their living standards. They have to take pains to become literate, work hard intelligently and come up on their own. They only things can change. If you give money, to a drunkard, what will happen, he will go the bar/arrack shop and drink. Only through education poor people can improve their lot, which is not going to happen in the near future under the present dispensation.

What do you mean by "what the british developed was not even maintained". What the hell did the british develop? 50 years ago when we got independence from the british the country was in a pathetic state, barely any infrastructure, 90% poverty rate, 88% illiterate. Thats why we fought for independence. It is all true that the indian govt has underperformed and done far less than it could have, but we are 100 times better off today than during the british raj. And no, it is not true that the poor are becoming the poorest. Indias rich may be getting richer at a faster pace than the poor are getting richer, but our middle class is gradually growing at a steady pace. Instead of such negativity and condemnation you should try to find solutions for the problems that exist.

Yes Biren I do support your view. These politicians are speak about everything eccept the development of the country's social security, i mean social justice. every person in India is left for herself/himself to fend and live. No sanitation and people are living in hazzards. Health system has reached in such a state that they cannot go down beyond it. there is no way I can speak about transport and roadways safety. the electricity and water facilities are totally neglected. Politicians are busy in fighting for religion,casts, nuclear bomb and all that destroyes humanity. I wonder when will the people of India rise above these destructive attitude and get started on making us feel safe, cared for, accepted and work for each ones good.

Indian prime minister wants this deal so bad maybe american government paid aolots of money to indian prime minister. They know, they can't trust america. Why Manmohan singh is so obesses with this deal. Indian santions just got lifted and by doing something stupid we gonna gonna endup putting sanctions back on us.
RE:RE:Nuclear Tests!

Why shouldnt he be interested in the nuke deal?? We do have an extreme energy problem in case you havent noticed that. Manmohan might be a weak prime minister but he is not a traitor to this country. Besides, america is the superpower and it is beneficial to increase cooperation with them while at the same time maintaining our sovereignty. All deals will involve compromise, but the compromise in this deal is not as great as some of you are making it out to be. China has struck deals with america, the russians (their arch enemies) also strike deals with the US, why not us? We have got a far better deal than we should have expected. Unless you are ready to invent another energy source I suggest we go with the deal.

Role of the Communist Party of India in China's favor.
- CPI(M) heavyweight HK Surjeet influenced by Russia to setup an underground organization CPI(M) did proceed to recruit a secret organization within the Indian Army.
- The Peoples Republic of China and Soviet Russia both insisted that the CPI(M) must develop a standby apparatus capable of armed resistance, while intensifying penetration of Indian Military forces.
- With the PLA now present along the Indian Border the Indian Party had a channel of support for Armed Operations and a potential liberator in the event of mass uprisings - 13 Sept 1959
- 4 powerful radio sets had been installed in the office of the China Review in Calcutta to listen to broadcasts from Peking Chinese Financial Subsidies to sections of the CPI particularly the left faction strongholds in West Bengal A foreign supply base was now available for the underground organizations with Chinese occupation of Tibet and other frontier areas. Letter asking for collaboration in Indian underground organization work aimed at an eventual revolution, because China has a border with India and can provide arms and supplies Also Jaipal Singh, head of the illegal organization within the Indian Army decided to reactivate his organization in May 1961 following the hard left faction gaining control of the party.
During the debate on the proposed Indo-US nuclear deal, Mr. Rup Chanda Pal of CPM and many other MP's raised the issue of propagation of Solar and Wind energy in Loksabha today(28th November, 2007).
And the speech of Mr. Lakshman Singh of BJP was simply mind blowing. He said that "We have the technology and we can be Solar superpower of the world and lead the world in the field of Solar energy." He also said that Wind energy too has a lot of potential and scope.
The list of MP's, who supported the cause of GREEN EARTH in today's discussion on Indo-US nuclear deal in the parliament, is too big & it is not possible to list all of the statements.
The country is highly thankful to them for opposing the Nuclear energy and favoring the Renewable sources of energy.

exacto mundo, ap ji. congratulations. this simple truth refuses to come out in the diplomatic discourse. let hyde and lantos get lynched in the u.s. media.
Communists are headless chickens who suck up to Chinese. Had this deal been linked to China they would say they would withdraw support if they dont sign the deal. How can we become beggars when signing the deal is for our self determination. Our energy demands have to be met to sustain our growth levels. Left idiots think right atleast for once. Put the country's interest above your rotten and dead ideology. Here are the achievements of communists in India: 1) Opposed India's independence 2) Called our nethaji a dog 3) Set up unions to destabilize every public sector 4)Supported China openly in Indo-Sino war of 1962 5) Called for illegal strikes even on essential services that affected public 6) Opposed privatization of every loss making bleeding public sector entity 7) Opposed computerization in 80's by Rajiv Gandhi saying it will cut employment 8) Opposed liberization of the economy which is serving every poor middle class Indian now 9) Opposed all the development projects saying it is against the poor 10) They are a party for public servants / union leaders not the public 11) Latest achievement was to kill 1000's in Nandigram 12) Gave birth to naxalites killing tribals 13) Life long achievements: stall the progress of poor Indians
Friends in Bengal and Kerala, instead of flocking to other states and abroad for jobs you can live with respect in your own home state. Think sensible and vote out the communists and it will prove you have some self respect left.

Well done Natesh and Imran and the Gang.

Each of the sentence you have written is 1000% correct. Communist Parties are root cause for many evils in India today. I am sad that Communist Parties in India have not died like it happened in many countries during the last two decades.
I hope in the next election West Bengal People will throw out Communists from power. In Bengal many good companies like Dunlop, Bata are forced to shut their factories. I have personally seen many Bengalis are migrating to other states for jobs. I had colleagues in Bangalore / Hyderabad who had no other option but to migrate for jobs.In Andhra Pradesh they encouraged Naxalites to kill Chandra Babu Naidu as he is developing the State.
It is high time, they are kicked out from the country.

Maybe you can find some arguments explaining why west bengal and tripura, big supporters of the communist parties, are in the worst condition compared to all other states in the country. Can you not see what effect the obsession with communism has done to them? We saw what happened to soviet russia. West bengal and tripura will fall apart just as the soviet empire did.

Natest, The solution to this problem is defeating the Commies in open elections. It is by offereing a better alternative.
We focus a lot of our time/energy on describing the problem which is a known fact.
We need to use this time and energy to defect the commies in their own backyard (WB and Kerala).
The crux is to stick with issues. Communism is failed economics. We just need to show people the benefits of FREE MARKETS and FREEDOM. People are holding on to these commies because of fear and inertia. It is upto us to show them PLAN B.

However, it is possible that this maybe true. But it does NOT become a FACT unless it is validated. Till then, we can call it a "RUMOR"

Assumign of course this is true, what difference does it make? We already know the US has been pakistans biggest source of money and weapons for decades. At least after 9/11 they realized their folly and are far more pro-indian, so these paratroopers are probably gonna teach them to fight terrorism, not to attack india. America may have done a lot of messed up stuff with pakistan against india in the past, but today they are probably the only stabilizing influence in pakistan. It is better they go in and make sure terrorists are crushed than we have to do it ourselves.
