Just to be clear for every one (Part - I)

* Will Hyde act affect India in testing a Nuke - Yes
* Do we care - No
* Why? - There is no intension in exploding a bomb by India. We do not want another bunch of sanctions. Hyde or Not, India will Invite sanctions if we explode.
* Is sanction okay/Can India survive one? - No Sanction is not okay now. We may survive, but at the cost of even higher inflation.
* Does the deal allow us to continue with Strategic interest - Yes. India can still pursue its nuclear ambitions and nothing in the deal prevents us.
* So what is the problem - Our scientific knowledge is right now shared between Civial and military scientists. Segregating our civil and mil. facility mean, our scientists cannot exchange information.
* is that a problem? - Yes/No. Yes, Our military nuke tech will improve only slowly, albeit will improve. No, because more employment oppurtunity for new aspiring nuclear scientists.
* Outcome of the deal - Our fuel starving existing nuclear reactors will get new life (Fuel), which will enable them to run at full capacity (Right now i hear they are running at 40 - 50%) This means, more electricity for consumers, less power shedding, good for industrialization, good for job market, good for youngters and unemployed. Which trnslates into growth in middle income group, and good for economy.

* Is this militarily good - Yes. by going for the deal, whatever uranium deposits we have in India can be now channelled only for military reactors and our stock piles are protected. NO IAEA inspection on military facilities. this is the reason, the opponents in US are worried about, that India can use all its Uranium for its weapons purpose, again strategic military interest protected.
* Is there any downside - yes, before all the processed fuel was enriched and sent to weapons purpose, now since some of the reactors will be safegaurded by IAEA, only less reactors are available for fuel enrichment.
* Is that a big problem - Not if India invests to process fuels outside the Safeguarded reactors. More military nuke reactors and enrichment facility needs to be build. I say that is good.
* Side effect of going for Nuke energy - there has always been an issue with nuke waste disposal. But if pokram can be used for testing nuke, the same place can be used for waste dumping. I say dump it in the border between India and pakistan, so let the pakis die. but i love kashmir and so i would say NO to it.
* Left? - They are worried because India will become powerful and that is a threat to their masters. people will become educated and will be competitive as against trying to live with govt subsidies. A threat to Commie ideaology (Keep then week, feed them until the institution fails) Commie are the people who do not want to come out of Stone age. For them, Food, cl
