Nuclear Deal, India and Clean Waiver from 45 countries

Nuclear Deal, is not easy as others think. We in India need Energy and to make it happen, we need Nuclear fuel.

123 waiver from USA? Not easy as it looks, it is English interpretation by Pranab Mukherjee and US Trade Body, that is still doing the rounds. NY Times reports, that Pranabji has mis-understood the entire "No" as "Yes".

India's point of view, is we would get a fair trade (other than Russia and France - with a Socialistic view so far). Note - 45 countries are Nuclear powers. Trouble Makers. - China, Austria and New Zealand. But they are very close allies and Bush did not talk to them, but Sarkozy called them to take care, it seems. Thanks to him!

People didnt notice the fact that Asif Ali Zardari - Co Chairman of Pakistan's People Party - has become the President after Pervez Musharaf. This is definitely was in mind with people, as both India and Pakistan would be responsible nuclear power groups.

India is a growing economic Super Power and we need 75% more energy from the Nuclear Arsenal. We have 42% of people lingering in poverty, living under US $ 1.25 per family (not head, note economists and press) and their economic upliftment depends upon energy. Thanks to Rahul Gandhi, Kapil Sibal and of course P Chidambaram - in talking to his friends and allies - to make this deal a success. We should not forget the role Amar Singh and Karunanidhi played. No one noticed that there was a censure in Rajya Sabha on voice vote - which has no bearing.

Not but no the least, about 50% of senators is USA are against it. Based on Washington Post's report, if the deal does not get passed before Sept 28th, which in a matter of principle - from Saturday, would not catch the bus (just 8 days less). But Bush is urging them in Congress, for a simple majority Hyde Act based approval to trade in Nuclear stuff with India. Might Happen!

If so, then it is a landmark deal for Manmohan Singh and Bush.

Nuclear Deal, India and Tamasha at Parliament

Yesterday evening, it was fun watching the parliament is session (better ratings than IPL 20:20 I am told).

I also watched the talk by Rahul, very passionate.

You have to mention Omar Abdullah. Hats off. Owaisi, did a splendid job too. Like father! Who is telling that India is divided?

Read this stuff in a news group on nuclear energy.

Uranium 233 has to be burnt (technically bombardment to release heat energy) and then the steam produced from pipes around is used for making electricity. It takes about 1024 years for the radiative plutonium to die, wither to carbon molecules, etc. So we have to store this plutonium in a far away place, likes island, in a technique called 'glass matrix'. This plutonium can be plugged in our warheads for bombs.

Why are we going to USA for this deal? Are we selling out of sovereignty for this?

They have the best techniques to produce the nuclear plant, within a 4 sq.meter. area, compared to 25 sq.m. area for a single plant. GE Controls. 184 countries have ratified the IAEA safegaurds. The 84 pages document available online, clearly says that there is no restriction to conduct further tests. (no mention is the politically correct statement). India, Pakistan and Iran, have not signed it. Now it will happen. The above statement has to be true for any country to sell Uranium to us (which is available in Meghalaya and Andhra Rishi valley area only, where no mining is allowed). Otherwise, they sell it on their own will, like Russia does. Exclusions obtained from the parliament or equivalence. We are told 70% of Indian energy needs can be taken care by proper Nuclear plants. India will not be able to buy now without agreement the special privileges of import of super computers, etc. since we dont have NPT signed. This agreement could be a disguise to help us.


Astrologically,

The United States of America birth time is, on July 4th, 1776 at 5.10pm, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That is when George Washington inked the the 'Declaration of Independence.

USA with Mars power (in 7th house - for partnerships - ruler), is in a strong position to get more benefits, in terms of new relation with associations. 10th house with Saturn gave good relation with countries, since there is Moon in 3rd. (and also wars). Working relationships. Current DBA is Moon-Venus-Saturn, and Mars has played a role in helping the deal to move forward.

We dont have a correct Birth time for India, should be declaration time, about 12:01AM on Aug 15th, 1947 by Lord Mountbatten. (They say it was deliberate to make sure we dont celebrate our Independence day with Pakistan). Mars is sitting in the second house, clearly showing that, we will play second fiddle. Sun and Rahu will make India Superpower, and that is in 2010 or 2047. Definitely this new association is going to be beneficial for us.
