RaviCv, In BR there is a tradition that you contribute something before you demand answers. You have got a sum total of 14-15 posts to your credit and are demanding answers. You have already been slapped on your wrists by Arun_S for making pompous ill informed statements. Suggest you drop this ID a...

Could you please exemplify a bit further on the following highlighted statement: Estimates of RgPu vary from 10 tons to 13 tons . Where did this figure come from and on what basis was it arrived at? Next, in what context do you state the doubling time of fuel in the FBR could be 8 to 10 years depen...

]Maybe, I missed it. Do we know or have a fair estimate of India's Pu stock pile? Estimates of RgPu vary from 10 tons to 13 tons. My understanding is that 3-4 tons are required for the intial loading of a FBR. If the FBR uses TH-232 in the blanket, it will produce U-233 which can also be used as a ...

There seems to be some confusion/admiration for the positions of W. Europe and Japan as uncle's poodles on this forum. First thing first. Germany and Japan royally kicked uncle's arse in WW2. America may have defeated the two countries militarily in the war, but did not harm their economic independ...

I think its time we let West Bengal merge with East Bengal and go their own way. Bangladesh. Islamists and Communists can hold hands and fight the imperialists to their hearts content. I am all for the freedom for the lefties. I am sure a country full of such "Intellectuals" would do grea...

Kalam's words, "strength only respects strength" Now that Kalam himself is endorsing the deal I presume he knows what strenght really means. No need for any other interpretation. Kalam says it all and his word is final in my opinion and for many in India. In all honesty, it's the IMF and ...

RaviCV, If you want to reply to me please post your ideas not rants. I happen to think, like KS, that India can chart its course. I happen to agree with him that the biggest threat facing India currently is PRC and its adamant attitude towards India.Since Independence, India had to fight with its h...

RaviCV - please explain why you think MMS is a Quisling. The nuclear deal will effect Indian's security for generations to come. The assurances MMS gave in parliament concerning the 123 agreement were orthogonal to the end result and at variance to the truth! In fact, he either tacitly denied or fa...

Seriously, we need to consider the possibility that India is not, and will never be, ready for prime time on the international scene. All this BS talk about "future superpower", and when the possibility arises of even tentative steps toward being a regional power, the patriots wet their d...
