Nuke scientists against govt going ahead with N-deal

These former scientists must be victim of superannuation fatigue. They do not understand the woes of common people.
India needs energy for its poor and even the Muslims, being traditional critics of the US, have felt the need of this deal.

These scientists understand the deal far better than most media persons - being experts in their fields. For that reason they have opposed it.

They are not alone. The BJP, the communists, former diplomats and an increasing number of alert citizens have also criticized the deal as nothing more than a means to undermine India's nuclear program in the guise of providing energy.

The spineless, xenomaniac Congress government is trying to defend the indefensible by making all sorts of wild and unverifiable claims, and by shamelessly exploiting the serious energy crisis. They'll get their just desserts at the next election.

It is a bad deal for India , as they will be giving up nuclear weapons capability via a back door way. Which is a stupid move on their part as Chinas military growth can only be checked by a Nuclear weapon state.

Nuclear power will at best meet 10% of Indias energy needs, and as per agreement they will have to "buy" enriched nuclear fuel from NSG , something that they now produce them selves. All that for giving up nuke weapons via giving up fissile material capabality. India should not go for this deal....(if they are smart)

No deal is better than a Bad deal

they are write . Why shall india go in such a deal where india will have to stop his nuclear resarch. The reactor US giving to us are 35 years old . They have not made it sure who will supply URANIUM to India.Our scientist are capable of making N REACTOR and its fuel from Thorium.Then why should we enter into such a deal which will provide us only 4% electrycity of our need in 2020. It is dam costly we can prduce cheaper Hydro electricity using this money. THE MOST IMPORTANT BY SINGING THIS DEAL WE WILL HAVE TO BE THE JUNIOR PARTNER OF US ACCORDING TO HYDE ACT. ITS A SHAME THAT OUR GOVT IS MAKING FREINDSHIP TO THE NATION WHICH IS WORLD LARGEST TERORIST COUNTRY. look at Latin America they are showing to world how to live without US IMPREALISIM .SO PLEASE SAY NO TO N DEAL. SAY NO TO US IMPREALISIM

N DEAL WILL BE PROBLEM FOR INDIA

India’s nuclear weapons:

The treaty has little to do with nuclear energy development in India but deals with the question of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and how to prevent India from becoming a nuclear weapon state. It is very clear that the treaty does not treat India as a present or future nuclear weapon state. The treaty will never legitimize India’s nuclear weapons, but will ruin any prospect of India to have any independent nuclear deterrent against even Pakistan; China is far cry.

When India will sign the Indo-US treaty, Pakistan without any treaty with the US will receive whatever it wants from China and will go on producing nuclear weapons but India cannot. The reason is that the treaty will force India to separate Indian’s nuclear facilities including the research institutes into two groups, military and non-military. About 90 percent of all nuclear facilities, including the Russian built Fast Breeder Reactors which can produce plutonium for nuclear weapons, will be included in the civilian sector and there will be regular inspection by the IAEA and the US authority to make sure that these facilities will not be used to produce nuclear weapons.

If India, in this situation, wants to keep its option for nuclear weapons, it needs to reconstruct every facility once again at a prohibitive cost. India for the military part of the nuclear sector will not be able to import technology or materials from any of the countries of the NSG, including Russia. Thus, India’s nuclear weapons program will disappear. This is the real aim of the Indo-US treaty. Man Mohan Singh’s recent declaration in the Indian parliament that India would maintain the option to test nuclear weapons is very theoretical. In practice, India will be unable to do that because of lack of availability of appropriate facility to develop and test nuclear weapons in near future.

The result will make Pakistan much stronger than India in very near future. That serves the geo-political interest of the United States with Pakistan as the bridge to the Islamic world as Pakistan was the bridge to China in 1971, when both USA and China were about to attack India jointly to save East Pakistan. The unfolding scenario will ruin India in the process when India will be forced to surrender also to the demands of Pakistan, a NATO ally of USA and China, the most important business partner of the U.S corporations and on whom the fate of the US Dollar depends.
