I dont understand every party in opposition is trying to block every development project by the ruling party. Let the elected MP's decide on the merit of each policy and vote independantly. Most developed countried all over the world have this system. Politicians whether ruling or opposition can vote independantly without towing party lines. Nuclear energy is required for a power hungry India. Have you visited villages where having electricity for a few hours a day is considered a boon. The left idiots are against every development work. They work for the interests of China and are anti-India. Not surprising since they called our nethaji a Dog and supported China during the Indo-Sino War of 1962. Hope people will teach the leftists a lesson and throw them out once for all. Our friends in Bengal and Kerala wake up to the occasion and show you care for India.

The meaning of opposition is to oppose every damn decision the ruling party has made.

Natesh, One of our problems is the structure of our government and the constitution.
Dr. Ambedkar, God Bless that man, wrote the Indian constitution with the British contitution infront of him.
This form of government works fine in a small country with a small population. But for a country as big a ours and as diverse as ours, I believe the American model or Presidential Democracy is more suitable than Parliamentary Democracy.
We should have 3 co-equal branches of government, - Executive (President and his Cabinet) - Legislative (Congress and Senate) - Judiciary (Supreme Court)
Our current system is a reflection of the British system with the Queen replaced by the President with virtually no powers.
I believe the Presidential system of democracy is suitable for our nation. There will be appropriate representation in the legislative Body with representatives coming from all sections of the country.
But the bottom line is, for every government to be effective and efficient, we need an informed and involved electorate.

The level of reforms you're talking about is very low. ONLY political reforms dont get us anywhere. And there is not much difference between the USA and our govt systems. Even the US has multi party systems and only two major ones are in the lime light. But the US has a very strict law enforcement. The police cannot be influenced the way it can be done in India. Probably we need a stricter judiciary and lesser democracy, as maybe we're not enough deserving. We need more law enforcing agencies so that common man is law fearing.
Dr Singh government ( Sorry its Italian Government) is a big failure. Gov doesn't have any agenda / plans. For pro-congress,ask yourself one question- does your AAM AADMI really happy and comfortable? So just to divert Aam Aadami's attention, he is making such statements. Even if India want to t

Why in the world would we want to conduct one more Nuclear test, when we have proven to the whole world that we are a NUCLEAR POWER. We have the BOMB and the delivery system.
What we now need is Nuclear Energy. People to hate congress will bash the PM no matter what. But sometimes it better to use logic over Ideology.
Again, there is no SILVER bullet to our energy demands. But Nuclear is part of the solution. We need our energy portfolio diverse so that we are not handicap to one particular technology or country or source.
At the same time we need to look at options such as Wind, Solar, Coal, etc.
We need a diverse energy portfolio. Think about it as your investment portfolio. You do not buy shares/Stocks of one company. Why ? Because there is a chance that the company may go belly up and you may loose all your investment. Hence you have a DIVERSE portfolio.

I fully agree with you over "why we need a bomb"? but I disagree that we already have it! Its not as simplistic. We have the ability to develop as we have the scientific know-how for both uranium and thorium based reactions, but that does not imply we have the capability. Its debatable whether we need to focus on bomb development or not, or do we want to buy bombs and sacrifice bomb development rights for energy needs. That's the real dialemma.

Japan is a great example and so is Australia. They do not have a Nuclear Bomb, but they have the know-how.
We are in a great position. We have the bomb and the potential to be as advanced as Japan and Australia in knowing, learning and developing this technology.

Japan and Australia dont have enemies like we do. They belong and are more connected to the western world. Whereas we're surrounded by countries who do not wish well. Doing nuke test says - "We're always ready if you want to mess up with us". Personally - I'd rather stay without the electricity, than without being fully militarily equipped. We've got freedom after so much struggle, we must honour & respect it.
It is a shame to announce that "If need arises, we will conduct N-tests" It shows PM's helplessness. Present Central ministry is enjoying including Chandrayaan mission due to previous Govt's decision. India should tie up with Russia, not with US cheats. But unfortunately, Hon. PM is a puppet of an Italian lady. Basically Indians should not believe in themselves. That is why people like this approach US like beggars. If opposition was not there, these people would have sold India to US.
By Deal we will get 25000 MW Power By using cfl bulb in each and every house we can save 25000 mw Power. I think encourage people to use CFL bulb by providing it on Subsidy basis or by kota basis or by any other alternative which I have not mentioned

India is the only country which consider Hindus as second class citizens.
The Kadapa basin in Andhra Pradesh is a treasure trove with large deposits of uranium, and so far 28,000 tonnes had been identified. Why we should Sign this agreement which block nuclear test(Possibly conducted as part of research for generating power from thorium)as we have rich source of Thorium ore.

What are you talking Mr.chenthil kumar? Nuclear test Possibly conducted as part of research for generating power from thorium??? Nuclear test means exploding a nuclear bomb within a restricted place made of concrete deep within the earth so that the radiation does not come out. The purpose is to check whether the bomb explodes as expected by the designer. The difference between a bomb and a reactor is that in a bomb, all the energy is released in a very short time whereas in a nuclear reactor, the energy is released slowly in a controlled rate so that steam can be generated for power generation.Nobody will conduct a nuclear test as a part of research for generating power.
Dr. Singh is the best PM India has ever seen till date. I fully believe in him when it comes to this Nuclear Deal. LK Advani is just trying to take the opposing view to garner negative votes. Didn't realize that this fellow can stoop so low.

is PM interested in loosing all of his crdibility earned hardway !!! so far?Daily he is repeating the same tape but is not addressing the issue of INDIAN Non alinged POLICY,which is likely to affect Indai in future.Is he playing the same role played by some another in past 350 years ago when british came to India explaing the needs and requirements to then Rajas?Please for GOD sake do not play with future of India.

Hey buddy m nt a usual writer for such comments but ur point made me to write.Hey tell me one thin cn u plz define wat is Non alinged policy. Could u clear me no1 the countries who were non aligned were they really so, if so then I hav lots of eg which prove it to the contrary. No2 Did India really go to Non- aligned(I mean was it for the open international community only or there was some behind the door framework also. no3 tell wat was the credibility of such countries considering the fact that almost all of them were newly independent and were filed with instability of all kinds and even though had potential but still lived on with the help of other developed countries. Wat point I am making here does not suggest that I am writing in favour of other countries rather the point which I intend to make here is that though non alignment ws ok but was more of a publicity stunt. If u r not in favour of America its fine just no problem but then it also isnt fair to support some other polar country like Russi. Though Russia has been a trusted partner but still dont over look the fact that every country in the end works for his/her own benefit its just like survival, its jst that whoso ever survives the best our of his brains or resources is the fittest & hence the polarity. Wat India shud intend is smethin similar. As of S.Gandhi well its quite a thing 2 work 4some alien place considerin the fact tht she ws just a normal person. She hs done sme mistkes(to cont. later it depends)
