Nuclear agreement, Trust Vote and Indian Youth

By mywordsyourvoice

I am writing this with extreme hope that coming hours will result as success of PM laid trust vote in parliament. Sorry to say, I am neither pro to UPA, NDA or UNPA. I strongly stand to government in this trust vote in support of nuclear deal. We say even God does not know what goes in girls mind, here even God, girls and poor fellow “me” can not dare to make any guess here. Who says politics is boring, if you have browsed to our esteemed news channel I bet the drama screenplay has been thrilling more than Hitchcock tales. The betting money, thanks to bookies is more than IPL final of Rajasthan royals and Chennai super kings. Since the market is down and crude cooling off, speculators have got the chance to make some money. Clearly the future of NUclear is UNclear. Politics is a serious business but ours is funnier than combined efforts of Laughter Challenge I-V (I can smell # V in pipeline). Jokes apart the pain of pity and shame has made me insane. The burden of memories of my beloved passion of insight politics from post Rajiv Gandhi assassination to Dr. Manmohan Singh government has made me numb. Still being biologically alive heavy heart beats often presume as of its nature that we can work around for better tomorrow.

Democracy is a wonderful way of governance. Respected management gurus thou the essence of democracy is on practice with customer comes first policy but still the proper implementation will open head room for next level of management. As end customer drives today’s business and shaping things out so is the case with democracy. No matter how much we bash to our political system but the naked hard fact is its mirror image of our thoughts, work culture and persona in complete society in bigger spectrum. Friends, remember our outcry and protest on recent reservation issue. Youth for equality and other students group cropped up to defy reservation policy. Being an active member of that historic protest where common people and not the hired mob makers tried to express thoughts in line. That was once of the true face of democracy. Thou the bill passed thru the constitutional process and I due understand who were the supporting masses and vote bank constraints of the political outfits.(Lets refrain from term ‘party’ and use outfits– as there is not party/team like characters) Still I felt this could be a renaissance of our 60 years of democratic heritage. Unfortunately today on this critical debate we have no opinion of educated class (I don’t have the definition of educated class in political view – How many of us know our vice president!! Still I believe most of us knows our favourite IPL or EPL team vice-captain and manager) and students. Anyway who cares for education to get right to vote or reproduce? Students are busy in securing seats from 12th to medicine/engineering and those who graduated or on the headway to IIM and civil services. The other segment is waiting for abroad academic session commencement or our piece of IT pay check – result of eco-political reforms. So our educated youth has no time to mark the presence not even as online petition, signature campaign or voting to public opinion polls. Hey! But we never miss our effort to support Harbhajan in Australia. So lets thanks to gentlemen and women (seeks 33% reservation in parliament) in khadi and hindustan motors cars to handle the responsibility to run government and make our life heavenly beautiful.

Excuse the common man on street who is struggling to manager his wallet with inflation at peek. This is an interesting and non-understood aspect of globalization. So if Uncle Sam fails to pay his EMI that in 12 hours different time zone, Chacha Swami will face the heat with higher EMI. The educated youth has taken feeble interest on nuclear deal. I do understand time is limited and cut throat competition drills last bit of us. Whatever the little time we could manage is reserved for night show of ‘Jane tu na jane na’ with new chauffer (some say them as boy friend) and some legendary visionary personality’s ‘3 mistakes of my life’. Being smart and coloured in professionalism we ask to us, how this deal will change my life, answer looks no – then why to worry, just chill. With all of your kind permission allow me to hit keystrokes about the deal. Let’s not invite beloved and respected outfits here to spoil the party.

Our media name and project it as Indo – US nuclear deal which is incorrect. There is no deal in between US and India itself. This is a deal between India and NSG (Nuclear supplier Group – includes countries like US, Russia, Australia, France etc). The deal is for civil nuclear programme – mainly for importing Uranium to run our breeder reactors. One more thing you would have heard is about 123 Act and Hyde Act. These are the acts under US law pertaining to nuclear resource cooperation to other countries. Since for us the deal is not just with America but with NSG members the applicable rules are tailored for us with India specific agreement. IAEA is at verge of passing it in favour of us with voting majority of its members. The textual detail is available on Ministry of external affairs website. Not going to technicalities of it, this deal will ensure uninterrupted supply of Uranium for our civil uses – electricity without questioning our sovereignty and military exercise. Our prospective uranium supplier would be France and Australia. Also India is not becoming any ally of US but a partner. All learned and people in chairs of bureaucracy and nuclear heads are in support of the deal.

What we get with this deal?

Uninterrupted guaranteed supply of nuclear fuel which will be used in electricity generation.
Better presence and acceptability in world arena will independent identity.
A leap step to self sustain of energy needs.
Push us to permanent place in UN
Nuclear energy generated is using fission and can be prolonged in different cycles.
Uranium will serve as the first level of fission. Its by-product can be used for Thorium and Plutonium fission.
We have abundant Thorium and Plutonium for second and third generation of nuclear fission.

What would happen if we loose the deal?

The energy crisis will be continued to long time as non-renewable plants are not compliment to nuclear deal motion.
This will send poor signal to world fraternity of our credibility.
Since the discussion on Green House Gas emission has carried on with seriousness, west will try to use carbon credit story for the pulling India’s leg
This need to be overcome with renewable and clean energy
With recent world politics has put Iran in pressure and military activities. Signals from Pak are also disappointing. This may be indication that Iran-Pakistan-India Gas pipeline is virtually dead.
· The crude prices are assumed to soar high and we need to avoid dependence.
Renegotiation will lead to poor or no deal.
Loss in international relations and reputation to brand India.
Internally India democracy will be suffered and next parliament is expected to be hung assembly with no clear majority.

The above is brief snapshot of Indo Civil nuclear deal. Buddies if you find flaws in deal bring it for open discussion. The go ahead signal from top scientist and policy makers suggest that whatever the best can be done is taken care of. The win or loss of trust vote can only provide or deny 2 month of government life. Let’s show our faith in our Prime Minister and strengthen him. Many of us are huge Hollywood fans, if one observes they show great respect and heroic aspect of President. We also need to look to our PM has true and capable personality. Lets be the change rather expecting the change. We all know action speaks louder than words.
