How many nuclear bombs you want to protect our country?I think one is enough and we have that capabilities. Gov. instead look after other issues such as infrastructure development,eductaion for all,uplifting the life style of citizens living in both urban and rural areas,increasing the capabilities of homeland security(to prevent terrorists attack....you dont need nuclear bomb for this),decrease pollution and so on.To do these, you need nuclear power not nuclear bomb!

You there whatever, There are many things one might do to improve the plight of the poor people in India. A panel of nuclear bombs is not the solution but the nuclear power. Nuclear disarmament will improve the stability our planet. Being a headstrong you can kill yourself but dont let your deed being the burden of others.

Nuclear disarmament?? Are you crazy ?? We have two countries with nukes on our borders. Nuclear disarmament will never imcrease stability because theres too many nations with nukes, and even if all agree to disarm there is too much incentive to still hold on to them in secret. Besides the USA and russia will never disarm, and consequently no one else will. If india disarms, the rest will remain armed, so our security will be severly compromised.

I believe Mr Singh's statement was to show that india would retain the right to conduct nuclear explosions if required. The government , whatever may be its shortcomings , is trying to develop the infrastructure of India and energy security is essential for growth and development. Mr. Mukherjee, and if the country is strong and stable, all of us will prosper and be benefitted.

Thats what every other Gov said-they are trying their best! Honestly, not many things regarding the developments are done so far. On the contrary what British developed, was not even maintained. In the current paradigm, rich people are becoming richest (example Ambanis, Bajaj and so on) and poor people are becoming poorest. The allocation of wealth is so unjustifiably restricted to a certain community that I would shame to call it a development. Another person in the forum has mentioned about the health. That is another restricted facility to the rich people. So the bottom line is: NO DEVELOPMENT.

There is nothing wrong in rich becomes richer. On the otherhand, the money allocated for poverty alleviation is siphoned off by politicians and executives including IAS officers. Poor people cannot expect any govt to do miracles to uplift their living standards. They have to take pains to become literate, work hard intelligently and come up on their own. They only things can change. If you give money, to a drunkard, what will happen, he will go the bar/arrack shop and drink. Only through education poor people can improve their lot, which is not going to happen in the near future under the present dispensation.

you are convincing yourself....what are the criteria for the fastest growing Nations?This is however, different from fastest growing economy.....what did you use to measure that poor people are getting job?I think you should study this first.

What do you mean by "what the british developed was not even maintained". What the hell did the british develop? 50 years ago when we got independence from the british the country was in a pathetic state, barely any infrastructure, 90% poverty rate, 88% illiterate. Thats why we fought for independence. It is all true that the indian govt has underperformed and done far less than it could have, but we are 100 times better off today than during the british raj. And no, it is not true that the poor are becoming the poorest. Indias rich may be getting richer at a faster pace than the poor are getting richer, but our middle class is gradually growing at a steady pace. Instead of such negativity and condemnation you should try to find solutions for the problems that exist.

Yes Biren I do support your view. These politicians are speak about everything eccept the development of the country's social security, i mean social justice. every person in India is left for herself/himself to fend and live. No sanitation and people are living in hazzards. Health system has reached in such a state that they cannot go down beyond it. there is no way I can speak about transport and roadways safety. the electricity and water facilities are totally neglected. Politicians are busy in fighting for religion,casts, nuclear bomb and all that destroyes humanity. I wonder when will the people of India rise above these destructive attitude and get started on making us feel safe, cared for, accepted and work for each ones good.

Indian prime minister wants this deal so bad maybe american government paid aolots of money to indian prime minister. They know, they can't trust america. Why Manmohan singh is so obesses with this deal. Indian santions just got lifted and by doing something stupid we gonna gonna endup putting sanctions back on us.

Why shouldnt he be interested in the nuke deal?? We do have an extreme energy problem in case you havent noticed that. Manmohan might be a weak prime minister but he is not a traitor to this country. Besides, america is the superpower and it is beneficial to increase cooperation with them while at the same time maintaining our sovereignty. All deals will involve compromise, but the compromise in this deal is not as great as some of you are making it out to be. China has struck deals with america, the russians (their arch enemies) also strike deals with the US, why not us? We have got a far better deal than we should have expected. Unless you are ready to invent another energy source I suggest we go with the deal.
