What are you tring to say?
by Chola The Greatest in the Universe on Jul 26, 2008 07:54 PM  Permalink 

Are you saying terrorists are Foreigners friendly? Looks like you sympathise with terrorists by almost conceding that they have not done such a bad thing since there are few casualities?!

You Bose, Sens, Banarjees, Ghosh are real shame of India - Bengalis the traitors.

Hy USA is better

In the 1950s, the United States helped India develop nuclear energy under the Atoms for Peace program. The United States built a nuclear reactor for India, provided nuclear fuel for a time, and allowed Indian scientists study at U.S. nuclear laboratories. In 1968, India refused to sign the NPT, claiming it was biased. In 1974, India tested its first nuclear bomb, showing it could develop nuclear weapons with technology transferred for peaceful purposes. As a result, the United States isolated India for twenty-five years, refusing nuclear cooperation and trying to convince other countries to do the same. But since 2000, the United States has moved to build a "strategic partnership" with India, increasing cooperation in fields including spaceflight, satellite technology, and missile defense

why left aganist because that for their master china

It is a motivating factor in the deal, some experts say. China's rise in the region is prompting the United States to seek a strategic relationship with India. "The United States is trying to cement its relationship with the world's largest democracy in order to counterbalance China," Ferguson says. The Bush administration is "hoping that latching onto India as the rising star of Asia could help them handle China," Sokolski says.
But other experts say the growing economic relationship between China and India is so critical to New Delhi that its interests in China cannot be threatened or replaced by any agreement with the United States. Indians "have no interest whatsoever in trying to contain China because they believe this could be a self-fulfilling prophesy, and their whole policy is to seek the best possible relationship with China," Robert Blackwill, a former U.S. ambassador to India, said at a Council meeting February 23. Other experts worry U.S. nuclear aid to India could foster a dangerous nuclear rivalry between India and China. Though India has a strong interest in building economic relations with China, New Delhi is still wary of China's military rise in the region

deal is better for india Left and thrid front what they know

Critics call the terms of the agreement overly beneficial for India and lacking sufficient safeguards to prevent New Delhi from continuing to produce nuclear weapons. "We are going to be sending, or allowing others to send, fresh fuel to India—including yellowcake and lightly enriched uraniumt—that will free up Indian domestic sources of fuel to be solely dedicated to making many more bombs than they would otherwise have been able to make," says Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving awareness of proliferation issues. While India has pledged that any U.S. assistance to its civilian nuclear energy program will not benefit its nuclear weapons program, experts say India could use the imported nuclear fuel to feed its civilian energy program while diverting its own nuclear fuel to weapons production. New Delhi has done similar things in the past; India claimed it was using nuclear technology for civilian purposes right up until its first nuclear weapons test in 1974. A Congressional Research Service report (PDF) on the agreement states, "There are no measures in this global partnership to restrain India's nuclear weapons program."
Other objections raised by experts include:

The safeguards apply only to facilities and material manufactured by India beginning when the agreement was reached. It doesn't cover the fissile material produced by India over the last several decades of nuclear activity. The CRS report says, "A significant question is how India, in the absence of full-scope safeguards, can provide adequate confidence that U.S. peaceful nuclear technology will not be diverted to nuclear weapons purposes."
The deal does not require India to cap or limit its fissile material production. This comes at a time when nearly all the major nuclear powers—including the United States, France, Britain, and Russia—are moving to limit their production.
The deal does not require India to restrict the number of nuclear weapons it plans to produce

This is the rantings of a Commie propagandist posing as author. There's the saying 'give enough rope to hang themselves with'- that's the case with Maya. Today she may be projected as hot property, by the motley rabble of losers aka the 'third front' but as things go in politics, especially in this land, with shifty voters and where votes are bought and sold, tomorrow she may end up dangling from her own rope.

As for the nuclear deal,its one important aspect of our diverse energy resource to sustain and manage our country's future requirements and when you closely follow up the 123 agreement,we are still free to do our research in weapon program.
but regarding the ruler of future India i stongly bet mayawati is no good to compete as her political maturity is confined to her state alone and replacing a true economist like Dr.singh is not a joke.
when it comes to Left,it should re invent its ideologies from country like China of how to actually help our nation progress..shame on them to join communal force just to topple a government.
when you call rise in inflation and increase in prices of all commodities,its going to be difficult for any party to check it as it is global and the best excuse if a different party comes to power is to turn the blame on previous rule.
The best way to improve and increase our nations economy as a whole is to remove and stop brainless & corrupt politicians ruling us who are well known to instigate communal disharmony.
So my dear fellow citizens,open your eyes,sharpen your brains,educate yourself and learn to rebuke the fools ruling us..

Political Parites
by Khandu Patel on Jul 26, 2008 04:22 PM  Permalink 

I was no fan of the nuclear deal but I had little arguement with Congress's re-discovery of economic liberalisation championed by the BJP. Their flirting with the Communists over these past few years have been wasted one. Liberalisation is needed to sustain economic growth. India is fortunate that this agenda is represented by these two major parties. Mayawati's naked bid for the Prime Ministership would be given short shrift in any half decent discovery. My advise to Congress and BJP is to compare notes so as to ensure no such retrograde step happens.

Good article.
by Anup Nair on Jul 26, 2008 01:18 PM  Permalink 

Wel done,SIR.

you have given a balanced picture and a very mature analysis without the cliched grandiose picture of the time forward, so characteistic of a journalist.

It was an excellent read and the possibilities you mentioned are thoroughly plausible.
