Advani understands Narendra Modi will be the Prime Ministerial candidate in the next General Elections. Advani has one way left out to join Manmohan Singh to become Prime Minister.
The Left believes that acceptance of the government's proximity to the US will ring the death knell for its proletarian doctrine, built on decades of anti-American propaganda, the government is evidently of the view that it cannot allow the antiquated Cold War prejudices to determine its policies in the 21st century. The Left committed a more serious mistake in 1962 when a section within the undivided Communist Party of India (CPI) refused to blame China for invading India. Many in the CPI-M, which broke away from the CPI in 1964, 'believed that the Chinese Communists had done nothing wrong in attacking India'. They thought that in the long run 'the Chinese action would help advance the revolution by weakening the power of the ruling alliance'.

m.. We now have a new government in Afghanistan , which is friendlier?
n.. That the leader of the new government is one gentleman called Hamid Karzai, who formerly worked for UNOCAL?
o.. Bush appoints a special envoy (Lakhdar Ibrahimi) to represent the US to deal with the new government. This special envoy was formerly chief consultant to UNOCAL?
p.. The US government quietly announces in January 2002 that it will support the Trans-Afghan pipeline construction?
q.. President Musharraf and Hamid Karzai announce agreement in February 2002 to build proposed gas pipeline from Central Asia to Pakistan through Afghanistan ?
And you thought we were fighting terrorism here, didn't you?

They don't want the oil to reach pakistan but they want the OIL to reach EUROPE through Turkmenistan ok. And where do the USA want to take the oil from pakistan? to USA? to EUROPE? to Japan? don't you think Europe it out of question, for Japan they can get it from Russia as proposed in the future pipeline project and for USA would it not be better to take it from Europe than from pakistan?
a.. USA supported Bin Laden and the Taliban for years, and viewed them as freedom fighters against the Russians?
b.. As late as 1998, the US was paying the salary of every single Taliban official in Afghanistan ?
c.. There is more oil and gas in the Caspian Sea , but you need a pipeline through Afghanistan to get that out?
d. UNOCAL, a giant oil conglomerate, wanted to build a 1000 mile pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea ?
e.. UNOCAL spend $ 10,000,000,000 on geological studies for the pipeline construction, and courted the Taliban for their support in allowing the construction to begin?
f.. All leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with UNOCAL in 1998? g. In 1999, Taliban changed its mind and threw UNOCAL out of the country and awarded the pipeline project to a company in Argentina ?
h. John Maresca, VP of UNOCAL testified before Congress and said no pipeline should be set until the Taliban was gone and a more friendly government was established?
i. After 1999, the Taliban became the most evil people in the world
j. In 2001, Bush declares war against Afghanistan , though not a single Afghani was involved in the plane hijacking?

a. ok so what? b. no, can you prove it? c. Not true, it is completely idiotic to think like that, five countries surround the caspian sea they are Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Iran and Turkmenistan. All of them offer better overland pipeline than others and for your kind info how will you get the oil to Afghanistan first?
the remaining points are completely null and void as point c is the base of all the remaining.
for point j, as per your logic India should not blame pakistan for the terrorism in J&K but blame Afghanistan and others as their country men are involved.
This deal means that the hurdles faced by India in procuring nuclear technology and fuel have been removed for good. Moreover, all other current restrictions on India's access to America's high and dual technologies will also be withdrawn as a result. Delhi will be able to do much more business with the US in fields barred to Indians hitherto, with the expectation that the volume of trade between the two countries will double within the next two years from the current US$ 24 billion. This agreement is a win-win situation from the Indian point of view. India will be able to build more nuclear power plants. According to currently available information, India will place 14 out of its 22 plants under the civilian list. Delhi thinks that the nuclear energy is the answer to its ever-growing needs for power. With this deal India will not have to depend totally on foreign oil and gas for its increasing energy needs.

Yeh lo Ek Aur Amerika ka Coolie Bola. Saubashya do you people get paid to make such comments on Rediff. Why the hell do you want to mis guide people on this forum. Who says USA has the best technology in the world. Indians are also capable of making high breeader reactors, and mind it its totally developed in India, this technology is used only by Japan and the french. USA has closed its research in developing energy from Thirioum its only india doing a full fledge reseach on it and we are sucessful upto 70%. What do you understand by making Fuel and developing Energy thru Nuclear, I would like to know. How much years it will take after signing the agreement the power will be produced commercially. Secondly by 2020 india plans to produce 20000 MW of Nuclear power which will only be 6% of the total indian power production. Do India needs to play with its security and Research with the americans who are masters in doing this kind of business. The americans are showing us carrots and riding on us only a true india having confidence on its capability understand this. As for Nuclear sanctions indian is on it since pokhran blast has it made any effect to us, in fact we have become more self reliant. Necessity is the mother of all inventions.

you are either stupid or idiot, you are the one how misguide the people. do you know till now India has not make a single >=1000MV nuclear reactor? do you know why? successful up to 70% can you say how successful your research are? for your kind information we will not be able to reach the 20,000MV target with this rate. first go and read the agreement before commenting if you claim to have read the agreement you better check with a doctor.

Dear Friend by signing the deal India does not need to play with its security. On the other hand in the long run Pakistan and China can be kept under tremendous pressure. India said that it will go on producing nuclear weapons. Besides Nuclear power is the cleanest form of energy. For how many yers oil and natural gas reserves will stay?

N-Energy is not cheap, the problem is water (Hydel & Tidel)and Wind are free form of energy that india is blessed with. With research going stronger india has another potential source. N-Energy will be much more costlier by 4 to 8 times that we can produce by other conventional measures. USA is only intrested to hamper Indian research and do the brain drain from India by cripling thru on the plate fuel tactic, but it will not hapen.

Dear Mr. Subramanyam have u ever tried to study the current conditions of the worlds earliest Nuclear Power Stations and the "waste" of the power production??? The "waste" radio active tH or Ur are first of all of big quantity which keeps emitting the radiation to the atmosphere. And the amount of the waste produced per 1MW of Energy is huge that most of the countries which is having nuclear power plants are struggling now to dispose this. You must think that the energy which we are gonna get frm this by 2020 is only 6% of the total energy!! For getting this much we have to face soooo many issues like the aforesaid. above all, US never help countries with out any hidden agenda! They r not dying to help India, they dont like the India n China emerging as super powers! So they r showing the carrot to us, n we stupids think that this the Heaven n die for it ! Why cant we explore the fields like wind energy, bio energy etc?? The whopping amount which India gonna pour in to the construction of new nuclear power plant cud b diversed in to this kinda of energy. Look at China, they r getting their 60% energy through Coal, which they import frm other countries mainly. Why cant we think like that? Look bak to History, wherever US went with their help hand.......they hav invaded those places later or made them as their slaves! Why to make our Mother India the slave of other country??? Believe in you, Blieve in India, we can do it alone ! let US b our slave !! Jai Hind

wind energy, bio-energy do you know the cost that is involved in that? the amount of land required, time required? yes yes use coal like china but you forget Indian coal is of very low quality so the efficiency is also very low so build more plants but from where you will get the coal? do you know Australia is supplying coal now?
