CNN-IBN is singing a different tune. It says that US has agreed to India's demands but does not reveal anything in detail. Looks very shady indeed.

Not sure if this interview (with Bharat Karnad) has been posted here. Excerpts- What do you think of the deal? I don’t think it is going to go through. I have always said that it is not going to go through. If Prime Minister Manmohan Singh keeps to his commitments (made) in Parliament in 2006, the...

You havent heard from AK because he is not allowed to speak. He is in US in a sort of "observatory" capacity. Until he gets back, there wont be a word from him. By that time I think will be too late and the horse will have bolted. If the deal is so bad I think the SciCom should collective...

India, US marathon N-deal talks inconclusive But, at the end of the day, belying expectations of a possible announcement that the 123 agreement had been wrapped up, both sides were still stuck on the reprocessing issue with the US , while impressed with India's proposal of a dedicated facility unde...

From the above article: "The facility will also remain in "continuous" safeguards as opposed to "campaign-mode," which is what New Delhi offered for other countries' fuel — although this will be negotiated between India and each supplier country, he added." Q: What is...

I have a feeling that US will agree to our demands but it will come at a cost. Cost being business favors, providing logistical support in Indian Ocean like patrolling, port calls, refueling etc. Broader relationship refers to 'democratic alliance' of US, India, Japan, Australia and Singapore. Engag...

Pardon my ignorance, I have a question:

Does the J18 agreement addresses all our concerns as far as reprocessing, testing, CTBT, FMCT, NPT, MTCR ?

What do we lose if we sign the agreement according to J18 statement?

Enlightenment needed.

Bala, I tend to agree with you. Indian politicians are taking AK to US to hedge their bets against the failure of the deal. This theory is further corroborated by the test of Sagarika and the announcement to increase the range of Agni to 6000 kms. Basically, MMS and congresswallas are covering their...

http://www.indiareacts.com/archivedebates/nat2.asp?recno=1620&ctg=Defence To understand, therefore, why the Indo-US nuclear deal will fail on India’s reprocessing demand, and to get a perspective on how wrongheaded Manmohan Singh is to blame nuclear scientists for a bad deal that he signed, t...

I read the complete article. And trust me, the statistics and arguments made me believe that really we had jeopradised our potential and feasible nuclear energy growth by unbalanced and unrequired pursue for very high numbers of nuclear weapon . Nothing can be done considering the geo-strategic sce...

Could folk give any rating of our news channels in terms of awareness of indian interests and governance issues? I think NDTV and CNN-IBN are suspect whereas aajtak and zee are a shade better? I think Rajat Sharma of India TV is an honest man, they may take up the issue if someone approaches them. ...

I hold Middle Class and Media as the biggest culprit. They make all sorts of noises when something effects them directly/indirectly like Reservation/Jessica Lal case/Shivaji-The Boss/Cricket etc. But they are not worried too much about national security. Some take it for granted and some do not have...

Few questions:

Where does the deal stands now after Sagarika and plans for extending A3 by another 1500 or as someone claimed to 6000 Kms? It is really dead now? If so, why is GOI planning further negotiations?


Can some senior throw some light.
