See India2006 with me..!!!

India faced lot of important events in 2006. Here i have given some important events in my view

Indo-US Nuclear deal

The Indo-US civilian nuclear deal is the one of the controversial steps faced by India this year. Some people in india supporting the treaty while others are opposing it. The supporters argued that India needs uranium for its energy needs and this treaty is the must for the Indian energy needs. Yeah I accept all these things,but India is the second largest nation in Thorium productions. We can very well use this thorium for the next hundred years and even beyond that for our energy needs. All we need to do is work on our fast breader reactors. In current technology we can meet our energy needs in 3 step process using thorium reactors and it needs uranium in the second step in the process. According to this treaty, we are supplied by US the large amount of uranium for the next 10-15 years. This will affect our investments and serious work in the thorium plants. We will become the permanent customers of Uranium to US. This treaty makes our civil nuclear plants under international study which is not a good sign for India’s security as we are doing research works for our defence in some of these plants.
The India-US deal will bring few benefits but impose high costs, including an inappropriate energy path, which cannot be measured within a purely nationalist matrix. It deserves to be scrapped. However, even more costs lie in what the deal does to the cause of global nuclear disarmament and peace. With what face can India now advocate global disarmament after being admitted to the “Atomic Apartheid” order by the US?
The Americans can dominate the world only by creating unequal alliances and thus eliminating the emergence of the rival. For the past more than half a century, India is one of the major states that is away from the US alliances. Now we too joined the alliance and we now become the US junior ally by this treaty. US treaty with India in another view is to oppose the growth of China as nuclear power in Asia by imposing their ideas in our policies. It is good for Washington but for New Delhi??? –become slaves to the masters.
India would be better off signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), rather than this deal!!! At least the NPT allows a signatory to exit, but the deal will bind India forever to the US, all for a certain quantity of uranium:)

Reservations In Elite Institutions

The another important issue faced by India this year is the strikes and oppose against the OBC reservations. I always support the reservations for the welfare of the nation. For the development of the nation it is essential to develop people of every levels. If we started supporting the creamy layer alone, it will make a wide partition among the people based on the economy which is not good for any of us.
The strikes against this were due to their seniors who had created the wrong assumption among the students. They made them to think that they had lost their oppurtunitues to the lower value students by the reservations. In this issue we should think in a broader sense rather than thinking selfishly.

Industrial Developments

This year showed a good progress in IT industries. Many multinational countries increased their investments in India. Tata started its new car manufacuring plant in west bengal. Many developments were faced in this field other than this.

State Elections

This year, state assembly elections were conducted in Tamilnadu, Assam, Kerala, WestBengal. In Tamilnadu, a dravidian party alliance got the majority to rule the state. In kerala and Wbengal communist parties got the power and in assam,the rule was to congress.

Sports

Indian sports faced different phases in this year. Indians secured nineth place in Asian games medals tally. India dominated in Tennis in the Asian games. Indian hockey showed a bad performance this year. Our national game needs an immediate treatment now to regain our past dominance in this game.meet you with my next "Drop!!"..bye
