Well done Dr. In 1991 in a similar situation when India's foreign exchange reserves was only 1 billion doller or 7 days impoert only and severe economic crisis due to mismanagement and misrule of successive gov from 1989 to 1991 .the same Dr.under leadership of P.V Narsimha Rao save India by liberising our economy with a minority gov and a tacit suppoert of Atal Behari Bajpai of BJP.and the result we have seen after 17 years of ent liberisation .India is poised to become economic superpower with in another 5 years from now .This nuclear power deal will make India self sufficientn in power with in 10 years from now and India will grow at rate of 10 to 15 % of GDP .Though at present share of nuclear power is 6% of total need but cosidering disaster in waiting by using more fossil fuel and global warming due to more CO2 ,nuclear power (,a clean power )will have more than 60 % share with in 15 years of signing present deal .One thing we should remember ,we are capable of making bomb or power .we have to choose whether we will make bomb or power with in 15 years from now .So the question attaching making bomb with this deal irravalent at this point of time of power crisis India is facing now .So the situation is similar to 1991 .People should know the fact and and our entire nation has right to know the fact from all the political parties at present .

china already demands arunachal and sikkim. next will be all north eastern states. pakistan wants kashmir and bangladesh will very soon make a claim in orrissa. whether we make bomb or not - we must have the capability. Also where do you suggest the nuclear waste will go? Would you volunteer your back yard?

We are already capable of making bomb and pokhran 1 and 2 test will testify .India is already a superpower economy at least to these countries you have mentoned .So nothing to worry on that scale .It is the question of severe power crisis India is facing at the moment .

Remember... United States - has a very bad hooby of helping and later destroying the same country. Remember Iraq. Now Iran. In future India. They dont have self pride.. they pay no respect to UN. They are dictators... why do u want to give our hard fought freedom to them.

- You must be a person with very very low self-esteem to equate India with Iraq and Iran.
Iran still commands some respect because of long history. But Iraq ???
Time you looked at yourself all over again in the mirror and say "Oh ! I am an Indian !!!"

Prabhat You are perhaps right. But in western eyes India in a sandgrain. Years back when we were hobnobbing with the USSR, a gentleman from the Eastern Block told me that in their country it is told that India was one of their countries (like Bulgaria, East germany, Czechoslovakia, Pland etc.). I felt deeply hurt.

Kumarendra,
You are deeply hurt because someone told you your country is a weakling. Let me recite a personal experience to you.
I interned at a software firm where at the end of my internship, my boss asked me what I'd like to do going forward. I said I'd like to get into business management. He said he didn't see that talent in me and saw me more as an engineer. Not that there is nothing wrong with being an engineer. But he didn't see alternative potential in me. I refused to believe it and just ignored his assessment. A mere five years later, I have advised the purchase of five companies, including a $2 billion water products company.
We all have potential, but if you get hurt by what others say, you will never reach it. It is a fact that no one knows what you are capable of no better than you do.
How is this person a gentleman after insulting your country? Why are you so insecure? Why do you think India will become a client state for the U.S.? The U.S. can't influence our foreign policy once they've transferred their technology to us. We always have the right to refuse their help, if it comes with conditions. On the other hand, we can align our security interests with them where it suits us. For example, China's push into Africa, Burma and the Bay of Bengal don't bode well for India. If a partnership with another country will help us, all the better for us.

Good analysis my dear friend Nair .India dont need USA expertise fully to grow .India is a great country having 30 % youth intelectuals in the age group of 25 to 35 along with 20% expertise in age group of 60 plus available which no country can boost in the world .Except power crisis ,India is sining at 10% GDP annually .Indian companies are in a mood to aquire more and more foreign companies which never seen last 60 years .Percentage of millioneer /billioneer are increasing on regular basis .Offcorse there are discrepencies regarding our farmers commiting suicide due to bad debt and other reasons,our education system needs lot more liberisations,our health procedures are full of misrule .All these are due to large no corruptions prevailing in our system and as it is a deep rooted and need political wills by all the parties to weed out from our system .Ok we are all trying to solve the problems but now the present power crisis is really worrysome and has to be solved and approach of Dr. manmohan Singh is praise worthy and need support of entire nations irrespective of any political clouts an individuals posses

MR. pHALTOO ,Perhaps you were not born when India got independance was virtually went to severe crisis due to partition where 50 lakh people were simply buchered and another 50 lakh people came as refugee and there was no money to feed those hungree people perhaps your ancester also present that time .And India could have been another rwanda or ethiopia of Africa .It was Pandit Nehru and Congress saved the nation by doing 5 years plan,making steel plants under PSU and lot of lot things to save the nation .So there was compultion to Congress at that time .So misrule will all ways hapen when our economy was in controlled time .We have run upto 1991 with this controlled economy and this controlled economy make India a weak economy as a result all kind of misrule will come automatically .So question of misrule by congress alone does not arise ,there were other gov also in between and you must know that all have followed the misfit controlled economy .It was only Dr. Manmohan and PVN (whom even our present congress leaders also forgotten )who thought otherwise and made that legedary liberisation in 1991 which not only saved India but also gave a platform to grow more and more .I advise you to spend with the hapless farmers who are commiting suicide in a village for 6 months and see the misery .I have seen the misery in 1947 and again in 1991 and 2005 .Ok if you want to live in darkness better go to Africa .India is not the place for you type of people who only knows criticism
