Re: India nuclear news and discussion - 6 sep 2008
What is wrong in facilitating re processing targeting same or other civil reactors? We just need info to make it RgPu. And I think the parties involved are rational enough to do that. Suffice it to say that, officially , there will be no transfer of such technology, so as to set a precedent, and pr...

Re: India nuclear news and discussion - 6 sep 2008
Back after a long time. Looks like my salami slicing theory is taking solid shape. What say you, Ramana, Alok N, JEM and others ? India developed its first nukes more than thirty four years ago. No adversary will assume they remain 'very basic' after three and a half decades. All said and done, perc...

Its not about missiles. So the million dollar question is what is Nicholas Burns talking about? or is it providing clean chit to Pakistan and China under guise of editorial/slip of tongue mistake? Raking up the muck of Chinese proliferation for the benefit of the average dumb Joe Bloe wouldn't help...

NPAs have put a 20% cap on enrichment ... it turns out that the 20% number is directly out of IAEA rulebook ... all thorium aspirants have to live by the 20% number Let's not miss the forest for the trees. The 20% limit is perfectly suited for the fuel needed in various classes of civilian reactors...

I do not doubt that the knowledge needs to be acquired, propagated and enhanced. The question is of priorities. Is the decline of the knowledge and sages the greatest threat? or is it secondary to something else?To me, the lack of political power of Hindus is the biggest threat and it is something ...

This narrative ignores that these were very small settlements and would not have grown to their latter size but for the assent of native rulers and merchant traders. Was there a concsious decision to let the firangs in to counter their local threats? And Braudel says India was self-conquered. That'...

So pray tell me Valkan, if organizational forces have nothing to do with it, how did Hinduism survive such onslaught? What forces keep us dhimmified Hindus from not rejecting traditiona and follow even ones that we do not understand - confounding Shiv and me for example? :-) The attempt to view the...

The depth of Hinduism will always be there for those who look for it, but if Hindus are going to catch any new attention - it needs dumbing down without removing its essence. A Hindus who meets anyone should be able to summarize things in a short catchphrase. Since you are SO adamant that it be sum...

If hinduism needed reforms, didn't Islam too? Aren't muslims Indian citizens? Then why did Constitution develops cold feet regarding establishing uniform personal law? Surely the Muslims need reforms, but the DEMAND for such reforms must come from WITHIN Muslim society itself. As it stood in 1947, ...

Big cats simply don’t have the fertility rates that are comparable to deer. Aiyo Rama,- I did say that there is a threshold ratio, no ? Since the tigers here are like the Borg, assimilating every hunted individual deer into their 'tiger' collective, their numbers are not dependent only on breedin...

I think framers of the constitution thought that in a free hindu majority India hinduism would never really require any protection regarding education and temple funds etc. Therefore only protection that was specifically mentioned was for minorities. Not really. If you follow the debates in the Con...

In that case, Buddhism and Hinduism have nothing to fear. It is the tigers that are endangered not the dear. No, dear. That lopsided effect is because of a third predator in the equation, - man. :) Who's hunting the evangelical hunters to their extinction ? Scientists ? Individuals may fall prey bu...

In this case, i do not disagree with you. Again, i do not disagree. ... That is precisely what i was requesting. That you restrict the word faith to the singular and use Abrahamic faith (singular) instead of Abrahamic faith s (plural). The points that you agreed to are the precise reasons that the ...

IMO, all religions are an off-shoot of the most basic and primal spirituality that originated in early homo sapiens (or may be even homo erectus). then we have NO issues at all with religions to co-exist. lets keep this as fundamental thought. The problem is both tigers and deer originate from some...

What i am asking for is that the term Abrahmic faith be restricted to the Jewish faith only. That the others claim kinship with Abraham is no reason to club them together with my faith. I think we are arguing at cross-purposes. Judaism as practised today is Mosaic in origin, the 5 books of the Tora...

If I remember right, HAF (Hindu American Foundation) had successfully challenged display of 10 commandments in public places and won the case. So what types of rights are being denied there, I am just curious ? Compare that with the call for banning cow-slaughter because it offends majority. Displa...

When I first came to US, I met someone who justified his non-veg eating as the meat came from the grocery store in neatly wrapped packages and it is shorn of its slaughter house association. So it was not jiva himsa per se but just cooking some packaged eatable. :roll: When teenagers are shown what...

I don't think this is mentioned along with Jada Bharata, it is mentioned when Parikshit meets Kali.I am pretty sure it is not in the purport but actual text itself. That is your misconception because of English transliteration. The demon Kali versus BhadraKAALI Maybe you should consult your Srimad ...

from my little thoughts.. cause, one cannot start deriving without an origin pattern.. hence the assumption. ? Good. That is why this model wouldn't pass muster when challenged logically. The only way out is a cyclic model ( as in most Indic religions ), with the Potential Energy of the Absolute Va...
