It starts with the black day declaration surrendering India's freedom and sovereignty US passed the Hyde act. India kept quit. N-deal is to get Uranium which last for 60 years from now Flow of energy starts after a decade. By then Uranium cartels will start dictate price. India will be forced to buy at the dictated price to avoid waste of huge investment made Negotiations for n-projects were done during the year long visit (90 times) of the big boss. The projects are scheduled to be taken up on BOT basis. The conditions for the BOT is secretive and disastrous to India. Government proceeded without political consensus. LEFT moved out from UPA. MMS moved confidence vote. Horse trading in public. Soon the 123 agreement will be passed by US Senate. Nuclear waste from all over will be dumped in Indian soil under the shroud of BOT. As the cost control is with MNCs inflation will rise to unimaginable levels. Devaluation links to inflation. The whole social fabric will be damaged by that time. The government is unaware of the decommissioning cost. $3Billions a year for 10 years. They are not serious about nuclear hazards and terrorism. R&D sector will be slowed down due to fund crunch and HR problems. Slow down in development of technology for Thorium and alternative source. Medias will be bought by the MNCs to play their tunes. India in danger Time to wake up, Indians!!

Friends, I am not against nuclear energy. But we must analyze both sides. What was done here? A few (2-5) men handled the deal. Are we not a democratic republic? Don't we have an elected parliament, responsible media, visionary intelligentsia? All papers were handled within the shroud of confidentiality. A deal which has far reaching influence should be debated in open forums. Even MMS had declared several times that a decision will be taken after a consensus. What is the expediency in moving in a clandestine manner? After all we get additional 10% of the present installed capacity of power after a decade. Just for the sake of this 10% we signed off our freedom and sovereignty without following the democratic principles for the sake of Uranium. As time pass on we can not afford to buy that. Then comes the decommissioning cost which is astronomically high at the present level. After 20-30 years imagine the cost. Then what about radiation hazards and terrorism? God alone can save us from that. Why should we make India a junk yard of Nuclear Waste? Time will tell more about hidden agenda!!! We have Thorium deposit for 300 years. The know how will be available in five years. Why not wait for 5-10 years to generate nuclear energy from OUR Thorium with OUR know-how?

Yes it's time to wake up... we are running out of energy sources...we desperately need this deal.
But wait..that's what people thinking about national interest are saying . are you whining about something different ..in the interest of "LEFT" ?
