Sahadevan is driven by hate-ideology. These type of people need cure, sympathy, and treatment, so they can get well soon.
The Indian citizens are not at all kept informed about the pros & cons of the proposed Nuclear Agreement with USA by the media. As a patriot I wish to firmly express the proposed Nuclear Agreement is detremental to India's interest. The argument in favour of the Nuclear Agreement is that we need Nuclear power production to be increased to meet the demand. Note, India produce 66% by thermal power, 26% by hydel power & 3% by Nuclear Power. If this 3% to be increased to 6%, India needs additinal Rs. 50,000/- crores. It will be wise to increase other 2 modes of of power production than expensive & dangerous nuclear power, is not ? By pledging to USA our 14 nuclear plants and production will be under their scanner and our sovereinty & independence are pledged. India will never have freedom for nuclear test.
Please try to understand the fundamenal truth goerning this agreement and put up a public debate before we sign this agreement.

Mr Ravidran You have forgotten that thermal power is generated from fossil fuels which is depleting. even though nuclear is 3% is better option. i fully support the government in this aspect as 50% of indians are not educated enough to understand the details of the deal.

Adithya - do u really think the issue is about energy? I am sorry but you have misunderstood the whole problem. I have yet to meet an Indian who disagrees with the need to get MORE energy resources. The problem is that the price being asked by the Americans is to take complete charge of India's foreign policy. Which means that next time AMERICA decides to invade a country like IRAQ , it could well force India to supply troops or back ups - Now what if we don't - well it will do exactly the same as it is doing NOW.... They will threaten to take away the DEAL from us as they are doing now.. This is the issue - an issue of sovereignty.
Lets say I had told you in 1995 that you cannot upgrade your computer. And if you do I will take away the electric supply to your house.. And you agreed to it... NOW you can see how in 2008 you would be stuck with WINDOWS 95 while the world may have moved on to WINDOWS VISTA or XP..
That is another pre-condition in the agreement. That India cannot do nuclear tests to keep itself updated. Now the reason for that is that our dependence on the USA will increase as we get deeper in the hole.
SO please make the effort of knowing what exactly is the problem. We are all Indians and we all have the same love for our country.
Would you want your kids to grow up under an American flag? That is the issue...

Amol, your Windows analogy does not make sense. People like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs et al of the world depend on the army of Indian software writers, designers, architects in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata etc for the next generation of Windows for an unrelentingly wired-up world.
But the houses of Wipro, Infosys and so forth hiring all these clever software minds, also need electricity. The Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, of the world will see to it that Narayana Murthy, Azim Premji and all their cohorts of the new India's software industry don't run out of electricity.
That's right, there's two-way traffic, get used to it. Stop trying to cast the wool over people's eyes.

Enough of debating. Until the courage shown by former PM Narasimha Rao to unleash the Real India (I think he is the most courageous and far-sighted PM India has ever had), all India did was debate whether to lean to Russians or Americans and ended up getting no where. Poverty, underdevelopment and worst - underachievement was rife through those years. We debated and we debated for 43 long years until Mr Rao came on the scene and courageously led a minority Congress government on the path to reform and change. Even BJP-led government understood this. The post Narasimha Rao India is a brave and more decisive India that is now certain of what has to be done, this includes securing energy for its enormous economic growth. India will be the engine of the world - more than China, so get used to it. More countries will put their bets on India than China, if only Indian leaders can show decisiveness in some common but crucial issues for its economic growth. National leaders should stand for national issues, they should not be hijacked by narrow regional and insular parties and their leaders who don't share in wider national matters.
When we were not having fuel, why those many atomic centers were started? Why we are finding fuel shortage now?
Is this related with expansion plan? NO. US is talking about control over 70% of existing atomic centers.
Private companies are planning to enter in Nuclear power generation? What about security? What about company take over by terrorist (through third party)?
What is a manufacturing cost?
How we going to manage a risk? United carbon has not yet reimbursed the money to poor people/India.
No clarity, no transparency from government, just because Sonia / Italy want it.

You are confused man! There is not sufficient high grade coke available in the country for our steel plants, but still we are going to build new steel plants. What we do for good quality coke. We import from Australia. We buy coal mines in other countries. As far as cost is concerned, if you critically need some thing you do not and can not afford to worry about its cost. And do not be a moron about security. No doubt it is a worry, but our security agencies will take care of it. No country is 100% secure, not even Peoples Republic of China. Try looking beyond your nose. There is more to country's politics and progress besides Italy and its daughter. Just think, if you are offered a plush job in Italy, would you not grab the opportunity with both hands, forgetting about the famouns italian mafia.

we plan raw material before building a steel plant. working with multinational company and opening atomic centers to US is different issue. don't mix the matter.

Just reading what you have written makes me say you are the one that's mixed up. What's wrong with multinationals? Tata is a multinational - it's bought Land-Rover, Jaguar, Tetley etc, so is Tata suddenly an evil multinational? Many other Indian companies are spreading globally, so are they also evil MNCs?

understand differnt between cars and nuclear energy before comparing country's decision with a private company's decision solely for busiess .... hope u understad
It seems our prime minister has only single agenda since he initiated agreement with Mr.Bush. They are not talking about the expenses involved to get the nuclear energy and could have been developed indegeniously if proper attention/funds were provided to our on scientists. Any time US can walk of from the agreement sighting many reasons as they did in the past with many countries for their own convenience. US have the technology but all their nuclear power generation is in the backyard for the last 16 years and they want to make money out by offering to India. Remeber under the pretext of weapons of mass distruction they came/destroyed Iraq and nothing were found even though the UN inspector were reported none and US never listened UN for that. It is for their convenience and they will make everything for their own convenience. never know even Bin Laden can be their friend tomorrow. It is pitty our Prime minister is blindly following Mr.Bush when all world is against this particular president of US.

Hey Shyamalan buddy,
U are confused very much. U are mixing US politics with Indian nuclear deal. We have nothing to do whether the whole world is against Mr. Bush or not. Even in India, BJP lost in the last election after its term, TDP lost in AP, AIADMK lost in TN, Shivsena lost in Maharashtra, congress lost in Rajasthan, and now is a minority government, but that does not mean that INDIA is against these political parties. When u are in power, obviously, there will be a negative wave sweeping and hence one is bound to have negative opinion about the government. Do not focus on USA policies and focus on India's energy needs. The cost is enormous in the initial setup, but later on it will be cheap during operational phase. Moreover it is a clean fuel. Manmohan govt is going ahead with the deal since we do not have the necessary nuclear technology and raw materials. So understand the facts buddy.

Laale! the sardar may or may not make it, but the Prime Minister will definitely do.
The bad polictics is into play but people reject. We are a strong country and we see our own interest. A PM like Manmohan SIngh is a blessing for us. We must move on.
Some of our Honourable Members Of Parliament behind bars have full knowledge of nuclear science. They are thinking of this science and making experiments in jail.
