Indian communist party bats for the Chinese as usual, but the BJP helps. Not really; BJP has been saying the same thing since day 1. If PM wants he can reach out to the BJP and take them into confidence. It seems that the PM is still upset at the fact BJP took a very dim view of his becoming PM and...

Whatever doubts I had, are now removed because of the sheer hatred the chinks have displayed. And I do not feel guilty about using a racist term to describe racists. What if the Chinks know that this is a bad deal; but to convince us that it is good deal are getting left to speak against it. So as ...

I will post a new thought I just had: I think perhaps a deal made by this govt. will be suspect because of political reasons even if a bad enough to live with half deal. The best thing will be for the deal to be made by a truly representative govt. even if it is 3 years hence. This lame duck govt. h...

To begin with, this arrangement is not about full cooperation but selective participation to the extent that it serves American commercial and non-proliferation interests. Bingo bingo bingo....

Best case scenario; Govt. falls because of left and NDA comes back to power renegotiates the deal quickly such that 123 == J18. All the hidden gaps that we worry about disappear and the deal is proven to have bipartisan support. NDA signs the deal with the next govt. in US. Cycle closed all worries ...

I have never been excited over the Indo-US agreement on civil nuclear co-operation. Nor do I share Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's enthusiasm for US President George Bush and the Indo-US agreement.

What 123 does is make the cost much more acute by causing potential disruption much higher - targetting our energy sector. But again, what was the guarantee the P5 wouldn't gangup and impose an oil embargo or something in case we tested again, eh? Esp, if as some claim, our testing==breakdown of th...

I completely agree with Philp in the above point; while a lot of us here on BRF have elucidated the possible ways in which India can benefit from the deal; the big question is: is the GoI working towards reaping the advantages after already paying a cost up front? Where are the next steps which Indi...
