SO called benifits of the Nuclear Deal

۩ सर्व शकितमते परमात्मने श्री रामाय नमः۩
On JUly,25th 2008 A full page colored advertisement was published in the Hindustan times
high lighting the bravery of Samajwadi party leaders.
If anyone can please inform me how come these people can afford such expensive advertisements to praise their own party president and general secretary please the comment in the comment box.
Anyways coming to the point.They wrote there in the advt the benefits of the nuclear deal which are very misleading.Hence this post.
Here we go
*Every Home will get electricity
Now, if we generate the nuclear energy to its full capacity and i mean full or maximum capacity In India by the year 2020 , the nuclear energy will account for less then 6% of our energy needs.
*Our dependence on crude oil will reduce greatly and thus the cost of transportation and everything else.
India imports most of its crude oil requirement.But nuclear fuels aren't grown in agricultural fields either.They too have to be imported from a small cartel of countries.SO this statement is something like, i say i don't want to be bitten by a eagle but a vulture.
*Inflation can be curbed
Probably they meant that when the deal is done perhaps then the prime minister will wake up to inflation problems.ANyways to create a nuclear plant u need to spend crores of rupees.A hydro power project generates electricity at less then 30 paise per unit.A nuclear power plant will generate at an estimated cost of 15 rupees per unit if we produce it at today's rate.
*India is a growing nation and needs constant supply of energy in different forms,with this deal India can be energy independent.
DOes India has shortfall of only 6% of energy?Why is not the govt serious about other renewable sources of energy which can fulfill more then 50% of our energy needs?
*International Sanctions against us will be lifted and India will be again be seen as a sovereign power.
INdia is always seen as a sovereign power.And when United states will have influence on our nuclear policies, has our sovereignty enhanced or depleted???

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
