its really sad that the nation is being sold by a bunch of opportunists starting by a 70 year old sardar who shamelessly licks sonias and now for a bunch of dollars has sold the nation for a nuclear deal which permanently denies the nation to have nuclear weapons.

Manmohan Singh is basically an imminent economist and in 1-2-3 deal there is also a sound economic rationale.
India's fast breeder reactor is in the cutting edge of nuclear technology. It is based on thorium. The problem is that this technology is still in its developmental stage. In 10 years time, we could emerge as a major nuclear supplier. For this we need NSG membership.
So the 1-2-3 deal is a foundation to getting a seat in the NSG. During the interim we put obsolete nuclear plants under IAEA inspection. In return we get imported uranium that enables us to up capacity utilization from current 50% levels. We preserve our scarce uranium reserves to be used at a time where the world experiences a severe energy crunch.
This is a visionary decision. ManMohan Singh should go ahead. The Left has no vision except protect China's interest. The BJP has no vision except return to power.
1. The agreement clearly limits its application to civilian nuclear facilities and excludes military nuclear facilities. It includes only civilian facilities, designated as so by GoI at the time of signing of the agreement and do not cover future civilian facilities. 2. In the event of the agreement proving unfavorable to India, we can opt out by terminating this Agreement by giving just one year's written notice to the US.
3. There is even an over-riding provision for the Hyde Act in the 1-2-3 agreement: At a time of our choosing, we can pass a law to specifically negate it.

- who told you this...if we have the technology and fuel why would we need anyones permission to sell it?
During the interim we put obsolete nuclear plants under IAEA inspection.
- i dont know a lot of english, but what i know is that the agreement asks us to put all our current nuclear reactors under IAEA and put 50% of future reactors (based on USA permission according to HYDE ACT)

- WHO DECIDED WHAT IS CIVILIAN AND WHAT IS MILITARY? - IT IS THE USA

- USA JUST NEEDS AN YEAR TO FINISH ITS TASK

IF THE US OF A IS SO FRIENDLY TO INDIA WHY DOES IT ASK INDIA TO SIGN THE HYDE ACT TO SUPPLY THE URANIUM?

You must be crazy, the name it self says "Hyde Act" its a internal act of US which directs it what to do in an event of Nuclear Prolifieration. Its not a Deal that india is going to sign.
If india again tests then the steps taken (Sanctions and taking back the unprocessed fuel) will be done as per Hyde Act, that too if the US congress wants to enforce that.
Its not good for a Country like India to stay under sanctions from 42 different countries.We need Uranium to power our reactors, most of our reactors are running half of their operational capacities because of want of Uranium. If this deal goes through then we can get Uranium from any of the NSG member and in return of this we ar placing our civilian reactors under IAEA safegaurds, I feel this deal is in intrest of the nation. We must have energy security to grow.
