What if the goal was to get a "reaction" from GOI? It's far fetched to think that US has not gamed the consequences of their action.

Father of Fareed Zakaria, Rafiq Zakaria, ... this is the sort of utter unmitigated rubbish that passes on as "nationalist" opinion these days. .... Critique the opinion if you have to, why rubbish an honourable person?! Without even an iota of awareness about him, his opinions or his work...

I was not sure what to make about the news about De La Rue. The part about stock prices dipping is true

How about Pakistani Punjab and Confederated States Or Punjab-Sindh-Balochistan News and Discussions or Punjabi (TSP) Kabila-Sindh-Balochistan News and Discussions The idea is to show the Punjabi domination and the loosely tied states that make the rump of Pakistan in an attempt to promote the possib...

Are we discussing the Indo-US Strategic News and Discussions or are we discussing the mechanics of student visa issues/troubles? If the later then there are many threads in Tech forum and GDF for this. My response Ramanaji was to the subtle allegation that this episode of getting tagged was self-in...

cleaned on Ramanaji's request

Boss, if you are on a student visa and you are not attending classes, you are violating the terms of your visa. Period. If you falsify your address, youa re violating the law, Period. You may know more about the case than I do, so please indicate whether these allegations are false. My guess is tha...

For a reactor built in US versus India, if profits are the same then why not the same cap on liability. The argument about value of $10 billion in USA being lower than what will be in India will also not hold good as the population that would be affected will unfortunately and most likely be higher ...

After reading Arun's post, I did some search on liability Caps on running nuclear reactors in US. The amount is $10 billion in some form of layered structure, guided by "Price Anderson" law originally drafted in 1957, and was extended for another 20 years in 2005. Google did throw up quite...

Boats from Karachi is declaration of War. I want Sukhois pounding Karachi before the sun sets today.

Leopold/ Bade Miyan's is 10 minutes drive from Gateway/Taj. Across the street from Regal theater is Cafe Monde Garr, while Leopold is right behind Cafe Monde Garr. On a side street, a little on the inside is Bade Miyan's, a popular roadside eatery place. While we Indians would regularly visit Cafe M...

A request to the moderators. Please disallow smileys, especially the laughter kinds, in terrorism or national disasters threads.

What gives me confidence is: 1. BJP walked away from Version 1.0 2. .... 7. Fair enough N^3, though two concerns. Nobody is going to give up the mizziles as u mentioned, but policy decisions taken now may cause a defacto give up at a later date. I guess this is the quantitative issue Ramana postula...

The point I am trying to make is as the opponents of the deal cannot substantially prove that it is CRE or some kind of Western conspiracy to control, so do the supporters of the deal have not provided any substantial proof to back their claim that the deal is any more than providing Uranium. If it ...

The independent investigation by UN (Volcker committee) was concluded after Saddam’s over throw based on confiscated documents and evidences provided by ex-Saddam officials. The list included several American, UN officials and citizen’s of other nations. US investigations also found WMD with Saddam...

Read those lines again my friend, I wasn't talking about nuclear technology. It is your beleive that reprocessing technologies will not be exported to India which is incorrect as per my understanding. Sir, for a moment let us leave aside what I believe or not. Would you be able to list the technolo...

Also, IIRC, Natwar Singh eventually was pushed out because of some major blowup involving his disagreeing with Mohterma SoniaG (PBUH). N^3, I totally agree with you on the descriptions you have given. I used to cringe each time respected foreign minister opened his mouth on Television. But thats no...

N^3, Would you know what is the life left of Cirrus? I believe it was refurbished not long ago. I understand crux of your post was on new 'safety' technologies. But the post also comes out as if stating not much operational life left for Cirrus. IMVHO even if life left is 10 years and say it produce...

I was trying to recollect the list of personalities who were removed ostentatiously for the threat they posed to the Nuclear deal.
1. Natwar Singh
2. Mani Shankar Iyer
???


PS. I am no fan of the above mentioned personalities, just trying to collate a list

The deal is about legalizing India's nuclear status and removing trade and technology barriers in all the high technology sectors. ... In real terms could you please elaborate on what trade and technology barriers will be removed, and how? We know we are not going to get reprocessing technology. So...

Ramana, Wasn't the unilateral decisions taken by India that may have lead to this situation? We decide on separation first, seal the separation plan, and then US will try for a waiver. Whereas we are stuck with the plan, US had the advantage to maneuver. Why agree to shutdown Cirrus in 2010, and not...

I believe we are stuck with conversations that focus on the actors, rather than the deal itself. To that context BC's article is a timely reminder. Some posts ago, we were arguing that US may not part with Reprocessing technology, but we are free to build one with our own tech. This defies one of th...

As Vivek puts it, we should avoid all guesswork and speculations. Any concept should be either accepted or rejected based on sound analysis and not gut feeling. Primary Question ----------------------- Cold start doctrine or Sundarji doctrine? From Ladwig's paper on Cold start, the question is essen...

... With so many Nepalese licving and workin g here, it is hard to think the aam Nepali would think that conditions in India are much worse than in Nepal. Just wondering onlee. I was roommates with a colleague from Nepal for a few days. He was a likeable guy and would mix up well with most of us In...

Ahem ! Mohammad Haneef has been granted bail by the Brisbane court. He was charged by the Australian police of 'recklessly aiding terrorism'. And the Australian govt keeps one step ahead. Revokes his visa, so that now Haneef is put in another jail (related to immigration). What about treating someb...
