One more nuclear plant in our neighbourhood is not good for security of this country,Bangadesh is working overtime in anti india activities.It is hi time for govt of india to take all neccessay steps to pressurise IAEA not to provide any technical assistance to Bangadesh
Better to destroy the facilities proposed to house th nuclear reactors. Why do they need electricity? Anyway after the $ crash their garment industry will be closing down.
We have three enemies, first one Pakistan (not very dangerous), second Bangladesh (not very dangerous) and last Left Parties (very very dangerous like a nuke bomb. Now this is your option to choose who is our enemy?

if bangladesh succeeds to achieve this we will be in great trouble...India must ensure this dosn't happens, either by political means or military means...
Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are shamelessly cloning India in its development of software and nuclear power while at the same time torturing Hindus and minorities in their countries, while it is these communities responsible for India's progress. Both these countries are jealous and involved in destabilising India on one hand and they want to copy India's progress on the other hand. Without India these countries would have no peer and would have been worseoff....

Copying and developing is OK.What is the problem,but torturing is problem.Whether the bad communists allow Nuclear Power for India..?
Chinese-funded ports and bases reportedly under construction in Myanmar, Bangladesh and Pakistan increase India's concerns that China might someday challenge them in the Indian Ocean, validating their desire to build another aircraft carrier. China's opaque military buildup is an additional cause for India's concern as China's academics debate the geopolitical impact of having its own aircraft carrier and People's Liberation Army officers consider the technical complexities of building and operating one.
On top of this China is also making forays into Bangladesh.
THIS PROMISE TO HELP THE BANGLADESHIS BUILD A NUCLEAR REACTOR IS THE FIRST STEP !!
India is the sixth-largest energy importer, and its import growth rate is climbing faster than China's. Last month, India's oil minister publicly expressed his concerns that it is losing out to China in the race to ensure its energy security. Though subsequently disputed by other parties, the minister illustrated his point by announcing that Myanmar had awarded China the right to build a pipeline from two offshore gas fields in which Indian state-owned companies hold a 30% minority stake.
Regardless of the accuracy of the minister's remarks (or the poor transparency of the award process), Indian concerns about the success of Chinese investments in Myanmar's infrastructure and energy sectors are genuine. Chinese media have recently announced agreements to develop three offshore gas fields and to build a pipeline connecting the port of Sittwe with southwestern China.
This competition for regional influence and resources is shaping geostrategic perceptions in both China and India. India, which straddles the vital sea lanes linking the Persian Gulf to Asia, is concerned about a growing Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean and the Middle East.
With proven natural-gas reserves of about 2.48 trillion cubic meters, representing 1.4% of the world supply, and little capital or infrastructure to exploit it, Myanmar is increasingly at the center of a growing competition between India and China to develop and transport offshore natural gas to their respective home markets.
Compared with China, India's growing need to import energy is often overlooked. Indian economic growth is second only to China's, with increases of about 9% in gross domestic product in each of the past two years, and like China, India is dependent on oil and gas imports to fuel its expanding economy.
China has significant historic, political, and economic ties to Myanmar, while India struggles to catch up. Burma was the first non-communist country to recognize the People's Republic of China in 1949.
China has been a staunch supporter of the current military junta, providing arms and diplomatic support in the United Nations, as well as aid for infrastructure and projects to increase cross-border commerce. Moreover, northern Myanmar has a large ethnic-Chinese population, creating cultural ties that facilitate trade, both legitimate and illicit, between the two countries. China considers Myanmar be securely within its sphere of influence and sees India's attempts to increase its presence as a direct challenge.
