I am really surprised to know what Mr. Bardhan thinks, what problems they have against US? Our PM is a much wiser man and he has taken a right step towards India's requirements in decades to come? Mr. Bardhan says "whether the generation of 40,000 MW of nuclear power after 20 years was more important than the complete subjugation of India's foreign policy to imperialist powers" Yes damn right man,I assure you on behalf of most indians that this is the case. We would likt to be with imperialist powers and generate 40000MW N-Power. I want my sons and grandsons to have comfort lives without bothering abt the energy sources and offcourse without stupid philosophies. PPl like Mr. Bardhan are a big waste of time as they speak philosophy which is scrap. If India is going for N-Power, whats CPIMs problem? They talk abt foreign policys, with whom they like to join? Iran, Pak, China,Bangladesh? All have proved their hostilities towards us in last 5 decades and still these old men want to screw our future for their so called old fashined, scrap idealogies,egos and dangerous allies. India do not have to make new bombs as we already have enough ammunation to settle with any hostilities in future. India need more power, more money, bigger markets for indian products, latest Imperialistic(?)Technologies, free innovations, Remember, India grew after 1991 after we let the youth of this country the freedom to perform infront of the entire world, prior we had to sell our gold?
