Gabbar, when a man is hungry, what will he eat? Missiles, shells, bullets or wheat/rice? Look, in India still there people die out of hunger and famine, in places in Bidharva or Amlashole. India needs to concentrate her developmental attention to such issues rather than on Nuke Arms Program.
Are the Congress leaders mad? Or what? You know in what poor condition the peasants live in places like UP, Madhya Pradesh, Karnatak etc etc? You know the condition of the Govt sponsored Primary Education system? You know the condition of the Govt health centers?
Nuclear deal is a developmental program more than anything. We need Nuclear fuel and reactors ASAP and the deal got us that.
The correct name for the place is Karnataka - having lived there, I can tell you that the last 5 years have only improved the situation of the peasants, not worsened it. North Karnataka is no heaven, and there are still poor, but the nuclear deal has not worsened it.
I hope this also allows India to start digging the Thorium sands along the South Indian coast - Karnataka has already asked for a plant there.
