It all started in August 2007 when there was an agreement made between the U.S.President Bush and Indian Prime minister Manmohan Sing on civilian nuclear cooperation.
In a nut shell they call the agreement a peace keeper which prevents the spread of nuclear weapons.

The following are the terms of the deal:
1.India agrees to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog group, access to its civilian nuclear program.-meaning Military facilities—and stockpiles of nuclear fuel that India has produced up to now—will be exempt from inspections or safeguards.
2.India commits to signing an Additional Protocol,which allows more intrusive IAEA inspections—or its civilian facilities.
3.India agrees to continue its temprory prohibition on nuclear weapons testing.
4.India commits to strengthening the security of its nuclear arsenals(weapon storage).
5.India works with the United States banning the production of fissile material for weapons purposes .India agrees to prevent the spread of enrichment and reprocessing technologies to states that don’t possess them and to support international nonproliferation efforts.
6.U.S. companies will be allowed to build nuclear reactors in India and provide nuclear fuel for its civilian energy program.-(opening a door for USA boss to have control over India).As we all know if they supply the nuclear materials then our whole economic market may come under their power.

U may ask me why is India signing the agreement ?
Here is what India gets in return:India would be eligible to buy materials from USA for making NUCLEAR BOMBS* and also imported fuels for the nuclear reactors.
But its real reason is If USA could get closer with India Using this deal they could stop the Growing Asian star”China”.on the whole they may have a say over Asian Issues (on all issues I suppose)

Even though the Indian government says its Nuclear deal is going to help in developing its energy and technology ,India has more cost effective energy forms like electricity and coal.
what they keep as a secret is the Nuclear deal is for making more nuclear bombs.

As a result of this nuclear deal -for the reason stated above ,We stand a strong chance of having a nuclear rivalry with Our neighbor China.Even though against the will of India.
Secondly We may also have a chance of getting in a rivalry with our other neighbour Pakisthan ,who have not received any invite for such a deal from USA.

If this deal is by the following:
1’stly- IAEA-International Atomic Energy Association this is what has happened now which made the left withdraw its support from UPA.
2′ndly -India’s Parliament-Which if they prove their majority tomorrow they would approve of it immediately.
3dly-The Nuclear Suppliers Group. The NSG-which the USA will convince.
Finally the USA Congress.-Which Bush govt will convince before leaving his seat.

Yes,It is natural for every one of us to ask ,why such a rush....?
Yes here the Indian govt and there the USA govt are both in end term of their periods,Still why such hurry?...
We have to wait and watch.

All traditional source of energy will exhaust or may reach the state,where its difficult to get them revive.Nuclear energy is the only source which has great potential.present situation in the world is such that only india and usa,remains democratic strong nations,with nuclear capabilities.India already had a Taste of China,and Pakistan always plays every card against India and jealous of its growth.the only way is to go with America.this treaty is far too good for the nation.only communist thinks about China.

Hi vijay,
As you have stated the nuclear energy may be the potential source.But tell me are we going to use the energy?
No ...We will be the nuclear base to them...we will be producing the nuclear bombs and throwing them in the best interest of USA.
If we should not trust China or Pakistan,Then why should we trust USA also.
Are we using the already available resource like human resource and the like....no then how are we going to use nuclear energy alone?
Remember centuries ago The British traders ( like The USA nuclear traders)became our rulers.
We would not repeat the same mistake again.
Is this nuclear deal going to make the price hike fall back ,no....all its going to do is to bring us a new boss.
Let us beleive in our own counrty men”our communist” rather than our US boss.
Our future president (none other than Bush)have started saying ”If the Indian middle class reduce the huge amount of food that they consume,the price hike on basic commodities going come down...”
wow the The Nuclear deal is not yet completely approved ,already the lord himself started gifting us with such lavish statements.

CRUDE PRICES ARE RISING AND NO BODY KNOW’S WHEN THEY’LL STOP RISING.FOSIL ENERGY AND OTHER SOURCE CANNOT MEET DEMAND FOR LONG.
I AGREE BOMB DESTROYS AND ITS SAME WITH ALL FORMS OF ENERGY.
CONSTRUCTIVENESS IS ALWAYS IN THOUGHT AND ACTION.THINK AND YOU CAN CRATE ENERGY AND THINK BAD YOU GETS DESTRUCTIVE NUCS.

Yes the crude prices are rising,why is the government showing more interest only in this source.
There is already a crude oil deal all most in the verge of finishing which the government has abandoned abruptly in their rush to join hands with the USA.
Yes I know that bombs are to destroy and not all energy we are going to get are going to be bombs.BUT If only we have a hold on it.Who Knows Weather the government is going to use it for only the energy production.
haven’t we see Iran Iraq so should we do a similar mistake.

Are you kidding? Since the year 2005 (when the nuclear deal talks got going) serious newspapers, like the Indian Express, have discussed the provisions of the deal threadbare. It is a different thing that I tried reading all these articles with a ready stock of saridon by my side, with little success.

The deal is a complicated issue. Talking of myself, if Dr. Kalam says it is Ok; that is enough for me.
