Hi Shabbir, It is evident from your message that u are either ignorant about indian nuclear program or a traitor. First indian nuclear program: 1. we had achieved complete miniaturisation of warhead design and just 5 explosions were enough to validate our model. America and russia had to do around 1000's of such explosion and pakistan's (made in china) nukes had one dud. 2. We can solve our energy problem only if we extensively use thorium (for which we have largest resrves in the world). But the technology is almost complete and shall take further time of few years for large scale use. It is already being used to run 3 prototype reactors. We must not depend upon america for our energy supplies else they shall start arm twisting us for their gains (exactly what they did to us in 1965 by stopping wheat. Lal bahadur shashtri had to ask nation to fast on monday). 3. America is no ones friend. Who needs enemies if one has friends like america: look at terroristan next door. 4. American interests (unipolarity) do not match with those of indian (multipolarity). 5. We are a nation with advanced technology so why should we be a junior partner. vandemateram(which u are ashamed to say)

Hi Mahes Interesting & happy to read your true patriotism, but getting emotional is one thing which all of us should stop. There is no gains in getting emotional.
Yes, we have(had) the best brains, but not the best technology NOW. The reason i stress on NOW is because we are in a very competitive world. If we are not able to meet our requirements, we need to have such understandings for our advantage.
By doing so, we are not stopping our scientific research, we can still parallely work on our Thorium enrichment program. The day we feel we are able to make more energy from our resources, that day automatically we stand on our own legs and that day this deal is becomes useless, which is what we want.
Our IT industry has grown so much is b'cos we were indirectly partners with US or partners with all US companies, even today if US market crashes, our IT industry would be hit by more than 70%, are those IT engineers traitors? are u ashamed of this ?
Without this Nuclear deal, we would definitely survive & grow, no doubt on that But would we be able to grown in such a way that we would become developed nation to get rid of poverty, No We need to use this deal in smart way.
