The Nuclear Deal!!



As we all know the nuclear deal is all set to begin its consequences over the future of India, the 123 agreement. Such a decision requires an ample amount of thinking, not only about why but even the consequences that India could face. Its like we should never look back to the road not taken.
Such a debate is unending, cause we have as many strong reasons to approve than to disapprove.
But yes!! no one can disapprove the fact that this nuclear deal will lead us to somewhere at a better future. The scarcity of the non-renewable sources of energy has compelled us to opt for the choice. For a sustainable future and stable economy of the country the deal had to be sanctioned.
Though we had reasons against the thing also. Like signing the deal with the U.S. shall definitely make it able to serf the countries dependent over it for the reactors, fuel, cost,etc. According to the deal, U.S. will be the sole repository and all the import export routes related to the deal has to pass via Washington.
The most important thing of concern is that the deal has already done a lot of damage among the Indians. The relations between the U.P.A govt. and the Left front has risen to a far greater level than it had ever been since last two decades. There exists an environment of cold war between the two, much after 22nd July when the bundles of money were displayed in the Parliament. Though the deal might prove useful, the consequences won't allow us to use the opportunity to its peak.The logic of destabilizing a government for the sake of an international pact defies all political wisdom.
Among all this chaos may not we forget the most important issue of the Energy crises. Another possibility can be shifting towards using the renewable sources of energy. We are still not utilizing it to the optimum level. And India being a vast country holds a lot of these sources. Though its not possible to apply it on a large scale much due to the cost factor and the efficiency provided by the systems wont be high as well. Motivated by swades, I believe the remote areas and the villages can be installed with small energy stations for fulfilling this purpose. I actually mean that we should not completely depend on the Nuclear deal to follow.Now we just have to see what dominates, the Indo U.S. deal or the Intellectual Ingenuity of the Indians.
