RE:APING PV NARASIMHA RAO IN THE WRONG WAY!
by Kabeer on Aug 29, 2007 04:27 PM

Once you test you have to return all the fuel supplied by the NSG including the spent material that can be used for enrichment. Besides, when you import power generation machinery from the US based companies, there will not be a corresponding binding clause that we don't have to repay those FOREX loans to buy them in case the US cancels the agreement. You have to pay for the machinery supplied by the American firms. Besides, your power generation will come to a grinding halt overnight the moment you test. It will be economically catastrophic! There is no use having military might without corresponding economic might. That is how the erstwhile USSR lost to the US in the power politics. They had the milirary might but that they got at the expense of economic growth which they didn't have. We lose to China in that fashion then. What use of Nuclear Bomb making capability when you don't have the economic strength. Being a respectable Security Council permanent berth seeking democracy, we can never behave like North Korea.
