RE:The nuclear deal
by Gopal on Jul 14, 2008 10:36 PM

The important matter namely the N-deal is no more a subject for discussion in the political circles. Painful indeed.
All these unethical and anti-national processes are for the sake of nuclear energy that may flow by 2020 if the projects maintain the time schedule which seldom happens here. The cost of energy will be Rs20/-per unit and if the decommissioning cost is also added it will be Rs40/- per unit. The share of nuclear energy is only 10% of the total installed capacity. The nuclear waste disposal is the biggest problem waiting.
Economic liberalization and industrialization are good. But it should not be at the cost of sovereignty and independence. Let there be a N-deal between two sovereign states. Here we surrender our sovereignty by signing the deal. Here we allowed another country to legislate rules for us to follow.
Is it for this that freedom fighters sacrificed their life? The whole of India endured the pains of the freedom struggle starting from 1857
