New Delhi, October 2: : Hailing the passage of the Indo-US nuclear deal by US Congress, India on Wednesday said the world at large has now recognised it as a nuclear power.

"The world needs India as India needs the world. It's something which we have understood but the world at large has now recognised...We are now a recognised nuclear power," National Security Adviser M K Narayanan said.

With the Senate overwhelmingly voting a bill rejecting all killer amendments, the US Congress has put its stamp of approval on the nuclear deal, paving the way for the implementation of the major initiative between the two countries.

The deal, entered into between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President George W Bush in 2005 and which nearly brought down the UPA Government, was approved by the Senate with 86 voting for and 13 against with bi-partisan support after rejecting the killer amendments moved by two Democratic Senators.

With the Senate vote, the deal is now ready for signing by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice when she arrives in New Delhi on her rescheduled trip on Saturday with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

Enron cheated Congress 6000 Crores with no power.UPA will have 100000 crore wasted taxes. No power will come out as in 5 years world will be different.If we shoeshine US we get all or none. Sgame we cant spend on renewables while US is going to it.PM a WB retiree can manipulate crores that get us no results.last 4 years we wasted 10 lakh crores. Have we a price lowering infrastructure? Have our lives become softer
Is it really so??? by dhiren on 2008-10-03 01:20:14.692069+05:30
It is not understood, how by doing this deal India got recognized as Nuclear power? It's all about US wants to do business to suck $ from India. It's a weakness in India's part to depend on others technology, is not it?
THE DREADFUL DEAL by Annoyed Indians on 2008-10-02 23:47:03.661596+05:30
ENOUGH OF MISLEADING PEOPLE OF INDIA. THE FACT IS INDIA HAS BEEN SHACKLED FOR EVER. AT LEAST FOR NEXT 40 YEARS AND THAT MEANS FOR EVER. NO NATION ON THE EARTH WOULD DO SUCH DEAL EVEN AT THE COST OF STARVATION. THIS 10/20% ENERGY NEED BOOST (AND THAT TOO IF AT ALL) IN 40 YEARS IS NOT ANY REASON FOR THE DEAL. INDIA HAS BEEN SOLD OUT BY FEW BUNCH OF TRAITORS LED BY MANMOHAN SINGH. WHO IS CON RICE TO THREAT INDIA AFTER ALL THE REASON SHE IS BEING ALLOWED TO SAY SUCH THING IS THE COWRDICE AND LEAKING AS WELL AS SLAVERY MENTALITY OF MANMOHAN AND CO AND OF MANY INDIANS IN FACT THAT HAS LED THE NATION TO THIS POINT.

world needs whom ? by chanakya on 2008-10-02 23:26:05.407208+05:30
Will you sign a deal to sell your property to a reputed criminal?Is it a question of some dogma to cut the branches on which you are sitting?If you say yes, either you are not completely in control of your senses orYou lack something that the majority has: some intuitive logic.EVERY true Indian notwithstanding his political beliefs can see through this deal: a deal for kickbacks to fill some Swiss accounts of some unpatriotic people...Some people think in a confused manner inhibiting the truth they feel inside their mind because they suffer from some kind of psychological disorder. Let us refrain from copying them because of some inferiority complex vis-à-vis the White people in general and Americans in particular.
Enslaving ourselves by Keshav R on 2008-10-02 23:23:47.528982+05:30
I fully agree with "Nuclear deal has mortgaged the future of children of India". Why did India have to impose upon itself a moratorium? Why shoot your own foot? This is only possible in India led by spineless babus.Why did nuclear energy become important all of sudden? Why not focus on clean coal energy generation and develop indigenous non conventional energy techniques. If we use our 1.2 billion brain power, I'm sure we can come up with many good alternatives.Shame Shame... becoming-a-slave-attitude will never go away in India
Indo US Nuclear Deal by D.A.Eswar on 2008-10-02 21:53:20.511872+05:30
UPA Govt. and NSA are boasting as if India has become Member of Security Council like US Russia China. Getting the Indo US Nuclear cooperation signed is not a great thing as US and West can stop supply of Nuclear Fuel and technology if India explodes Nuclear Device.Please stop this boasting and make India strong with or without US and Western powers support.
Architect and Friend Condoleezza Rice by Jatinder S Hoon on 2008-10-02 19:14:23.776226+05:30
Time for Indian politicians to move forward and bring country out of its poverty.Country has the brain, will and now nuclear energy to solve the massive problems facing the largest plural democracy.Deal is signed, now sign your destiny with progressive, forward secular looking party or parties.Rescheduled your destiny with growth not poverty.

well there is no use talking to people who doesnt understand the creation of India. India was never a country at any stage prior to independance from British. Actually we should be oblgied to the British for creating a country like India. And please try to understand that Hindus are not the original inhabitants of this so called India !

In case China conducts nuclear explosion, the 123 agreement between China and USA will automatically stand terminated.
Recognition of India's legitimate place by Chethan Prabhu on 2008-10-02 18:36:59.151572+05:30
I am sick of people complaining about lack of secularism in India. I have close friends from all religions and I have worshipped in a mosque, a church, a sikh temple and a Hindu temple. All the bigots complaining about secularism should move to a country of their choice like Pakistan for example if they don't like India. We have come a long way in just 50 years and it will take 50 more years for the country to recover from the wounds created by the British.
World has now recognised India as a nuke power: NSA by suresh sheth on 2008-10-02 17:51:19.194337+05:30
The world has NOT recognised India as ‘nuclear weapons state’ as Mr. Narayanan knows very well. That is the main reason why Condi Rice can say that ‘There will be serious consequences if India conducts a nuclear test’. Condi Rice did not say that about China, Russia, France or UK. 123 agreement, treaty with IAEA or NSG waiver do NOT accept India in the same category as five Brahmins (US, Russia, China, France and UK) of nuclear club and so Mr. Narayanan should stop misleading Indian people.
        
Nuclear 'weapons state'
by Vejain on 2008-10-02 19:14:58.103578+05:30
India along with Pakistan is already recognised as a Nuclear Weapons State. Being recognised as Nuclear Powers is a different matter and I agree with you that there is still nuclear apartheid. Mr Narayanan may have jumped the gun a bit.
Nuclear deal has mortgaged the future of children of India by Bharat on 2008-10-02 17:40:49.863567+05:30
Shame on the deception practiced by the UPA government for nuclear deal which is a sell out of Indian sovereign interest ! India would not have won freedom if there were such politicians as of today in the UPA government. Is there a single nationalist in the UPA government?
        
Mortgaged the future?

Can you please expand/explain?
World recognises Hindloosthan as comnunal, only Bamponth can save the secloolar image of India by Secloolar Bamponthi on 2008-10-02 16:15:14.996345+05:30
How can it be possible that world will recognise Hindoolsthan as power? Comnunal people are never power. Only secloolar people are power. Therefore Chin Paksitan Bongalades Mallaysia Indonesia Maldives Iran Eyeraq Vatican Brazil Portugal Panama Mexico US etc. are power where Mooslims Ciristains and People live in peace and religious freedom. In Hindoosthan there is no power because it is not secloolar.

This is no progress. by Ayyappa on 2008-10-02 15:20:08.416925+05:30
