We'll not sell uranium to India, says Australia

India should focus on using nuclear energy to the bare essential, and not ignore the unlimited potential of renewable sources of energy which are abundant and more environment friendly. Imagine a nano car made with nano material and charged with solar energy panels on the housetop, which will ride for free. Nuclear energy can not compete with this kind of ideas, which are already in abundance. Instead of being emotional or dismayed at Australia's reaction, we should see the light of reason that the uranium produced in Australia is an Australian produce which they are free to sell or not to sell to anyone. They are the masters of preconditions for what they produce and sell, not us. What we can do to entice them is to bargain that we will do something with surplus nuclear power which will benefit Australia in a barter kind of deal. Special alloys and other materials needing electrical energy produced by reactors could be sold at preferential rates to Australia. This can benefit both countries mutually. If we have wisdom to come up with such ideas, then Aussies are not expected to be rigid to decline such kind of deals. Please not business with good business sense always succeeds.

THE ENTIRE WHITE WESTERN WORLD IS RACIST. AUSTRALIA CANNOT BE MORE RACISTS THAN UK OR USA IS HOWEVER USA IS A NATION OF EMMIGRANTS. ON THAT BASIS WE CAN ATLEAST TRY TO FIGHT IT IN USA. INDIA AND INDIANS HAVE TO DEVELOP THEIR SELF-RESPECT AND BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. INDIANS ABROAD ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN WORLD LACK SELF-RESPECT AND LOOK AT THESE WHITE PEOPLE AS THEIR ROLE MODELS AND BEHAVE AND ACT IN FRONT OF THE WHITES AS IF THEY ARE THE SLAVES OF THESE WHITES. SOME OF THEM EVEN FEEL ASHAMED TO CALL THEMSELVES INDIANS. ONLY IN INDIA THEY FIGHT ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION OR CASTE BUT ABROAD THEY BEHAVE AS IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SELF-RESPECT OR A SENSE OF EXISTENCE AND IT IS A SHAME.

JUST A NOTE OF MY THOUGHT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCESINCE I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND PRESENTLY LIVING IN UNITED STATES. THESE WESTERN NATIONS WILL NEVER ALLOW INDIA TO COME UP TO THEIR LEVEL ALTHOUGH THEY WILL LIKE TO TAKE AS MUCH BENEFIT AS POSSIBLE FROM INDIA AND INDIANS BUT AT THE SAME TIME WOULD LIKE INDIA AND INDIANS TO BE SUBORDINATE TO THEM. THIS IS THE WHITE MENATILITY SINCE THEY THINK THEY ARE THE ONES WHO COLONIZED THE WORLD AND GAVE ALL THE MAJOR OR MINOR TECHNOLOGIES AND EDUCATION TO THE ENTIRE NON-WHITE THIRD WORLD, HOWEVER TRUE. SO THEY FEEL THEY HAVE AN INVINCIBLE RIGHT TO REMAIN SUPERIOR AND THE ENTIRE THIRLD WORLD SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK UP THEM BUT NEVER SHOULD COME A PAR WIH THEM. WE NEED TO CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE. THIS CENTURY MUST BE OURS-PREFERABLY INDIA AND PROBABLY CHINA. ALTHOUGH WE NEED TO BE VERY WARY OF CHINA BEACUST IT IS A VERY POWERFUL NEIGHBOUR AND WE HAVE HAD VERY UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE WITH CHINESE IN THE PAST BUT STILL WE MUST TRY TO MAINTAIN A CORDIAL AND ROBUST RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA AND TRY TO DISLODGE WESTERN HEDGEMONY AND THEIR SUPERIORITY COMPLEX BOTH ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARILY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME INDIA MUST MAINTAIN A VERY CORDIAL AND ROBUST RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE WESTERN NATIONS INCLUDING USA AND EVEN BECOME THEIR IMPORTANT ALLY IN SOME ISSUES BUT NOT ALL THAT MUST BE DECIDED TO ON A CSE-TO-CASE BASIS. WE WILL BEAT THEM WITH SAME STICK THEY HAVE BEATEN US IN THE PAST. INTERNALLY, INDIANS HAVE TO BE BROADMINDED, CREATIVE AND HAVE SCIENTIFIC TEMPERAMENT AND HAVE TO GET RID OF RELIGIOUS ORTHODOXY AND SUPERSTITIONS OF ALL RELIGIONS (HINDUS, MUSLIMS,SIKHS, CHRISTIANS ETC.). RELIGION IS THE MAJOR OBSTACLE IN INDIA TO ITS DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS. TOGETHER WE CAN ESTABILISH INDIA'S HEDGEMONY ALL OVER THE WORLD.INDIA MUST TRY TO DEVELOP THORIUM RESERVES AND BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.

India, please try to use Thorium; at least think of using it. India WILL and NEVER improve as long as we have stupid politicians and stupid I.A.S officers (who rule the country) that have NO knowledge about ANY sciences as most of them are history or some non-sense majors in their education. I think a B.A is enough to become an IAS officer. Correct me if I am wrong. How the hell these IAS officers who are Central defense, electricity and atomic departmental secretaries and heads take any sound decision. No wonder they any knowledge and brains to understand the basic sciences...God save India from these politicians and IAS officers.

To any Australian reading this: INDIA WILL NEVER SIGN A'FAKE'

Aussies have shown how STUPID they are by selling Uranium to China and not India.Australia is probably the first country China will invade once it becomes a full-fledge superpower. I think they have made it clear that they trust a Communist state over a functioning democracy. Shame on them !!!

Thanks Australia. Now India's politicians should wake up and use our Thorium reserves (largest in the world) for producing electricity. Why are we relying on Uranium when we can do the same with Thorium ?? Just shows how useless our politicians are.

If in Aussie wisdom it is OK for Communist China to hold nuclear bomb and not democratic India, it is their problem of being blind to see long-term partners. For India is always ready for a strong relation with Aussies as we believe it is good for both countries. However, since Aussies have stated their position clearly, India should also show no preference for any Aussie business investments in India. Let them sleep with only China. Let us wish good luck to Aussies and say bye bye.

The decision of present Australian government not selling uranium to India is unfortunate. This casts doubts on future agreements. It is not difficult to India to look elsewhere for Uranium or any other metals but it is matter of principle on the part of Australian government. Indo-US nuclear deal need to take into consideration this kind of developments and have contingent plans to overcome the same. India is not a NPT signatory but has shown more responsibility than most of the NPT signatory states. This is sole reason why Bush administration initiated the nuclear deal. The signing or not signing shall not have any bearing on the sale uranium when India has shown a very good track record as nuclear responsible state in terms of not transferring the technology to any country, not using it as deterrent factor in any negotiations with any country. The repercussions will be seen else where.

It is well within Australia's right to sell or not to sell uranium, to whosoever it pleases. Trade protectionism is not the answer,the answer is for India to accept market economy as soon as possible and increase the economic growth rate to above 10%, allow India to be at par with China, economically and in par capita income.Then money will talk and will lure all and sundry, including Australia, to sell to India.India must not kow tow to China, for nuclear techonolgy, which is off low grade.China is begging France, (Areva, the New Masters of Nuclear Technology, France has the best n technology and the experience in the world.Their Nuclear safety record is pristine and uncomparable.India has to approach France for the technology and buy uranium from Congo as India is reluctant to develop its own vast uranium deposit. I do not understand why India and the Indians are so narrow minded and have such narrow outlook?

India has to look at the trade it does with Aussies. if Aussies are gaining then perhaps India should look to balance it by cutting down on imports and or charging extra tarrifs. However if India benefits from mutual trade then we should look elsewhere to purchase uranium. One thing is certain and that is that there are no friends out there. Kumble type of premature give aways to any country will not benefit India. There is no point wasting any further time with Aussies or bending backwards to please them in the hope that everything will be alright. Kumble has seen that in his experience with Aussies. He bent backwards to please them and in return Aussies have criticised Kumble and have taken advantage of Kumble's weakness by declaring Harbhajan Singh guilty before his appeal is heard. No need to be seen as sore loser but it is time to look elsewhere like Russia, China to purchase uranium. Aussies and the West are under USA domination and the orders come from Washington. My only wish is that countries in our own region could be as united as the white countries are. Unfortunately even in our own country there is no unity. Our politicians have learnt from the Britsh to divide and rule and therefore all political prties play this game.

India should never sign NTP unless the treaty. For once our politicians have made the right decision. The treaty allows few handful countries to continue developing nuclear weapons while other countries are banned from doing that. India is willing to sign if such disparities are removed.

Simple. Boycott Australian goods and services. Don't buy anything that is made in Australia. Probably the reason for uranium ban is that Indians have upset Aussie cricket team for cheating? Western countries and Aussies only understand tit for tat. Gandhian or Kumble phylosophy is not understood and will be taken advantage of. So stop the nonsense and get on with kicking Aussie businesses out of India. No more rights to Aussies to venture in India. Start tarrifs on Aussies for everything Aussies do in or through India. The India,Australia,Japan and SA combine is in tatters. It is for the Indian good that there is no such block under the leadership of USA to balance China. Indian future lies within our own region i.e China, India, Russia and Japan. We don,t want Indian territory to become battle ground for USA ventures into China.

If so, threaten them with our weapon(Dr Haneef) saying India sending him back to Australia!!!.....ha ha ha ha

well Australians are racists. What is needed is Indians especially students should stop flocking to this country and the Govt. of India shuld take measures to discourage indians to study in Australia. Indian students contribute approx. 3 Billion US $ to this economy which is of no assistance to foreign students. Govt of India should then impose restrictions on Aussie business, imposing taxes on shipping etc passing through our international waters. Then, we should take up Aussie issues such as Indegenous rights and take it to the global forum. Aussies have taken upon themselves to be American poodles in the asia pacific and are under the impression that they are the local bosses. They have conflict of interest with Japan over whaling rights in the pacific and chinaover Human rights. Both of these nations give a damn to this country and so should we. Australia is not a pleasant place to be in for Indians. So just spread the word and hurt their economy which depends to the extent of 3 Billion $ on us.

Don't buy anything from cheats and liars, they would rather lick the ass of Chinese because they like the taste of shit.

Australia gets a net profit of 8 billion dollas each year from India, do not buy anything Australian. Ban Qantas over flights through Indian air space. Large ships also use sea chennels in Indian territorial waters of Nicobar. Have Indians guts to act ? One more thing, UK has not de-colonised Australia yet.

That's nuclear or cricket on a different pitch?

One has to agree with Sridhar. Unfortunately the UPA believes only in subservience, it might appear. ‘Begging’ at the Chinese door is a show to appease the communists. Had India played well with its available resources and succeeded as a stable economy rather than letting the politicians to loot at will, any and every country will wait to sell its ware to India. But it is not yet the right time perhaps in its horoscope, alas !!!

Wait till India has more econimic power. australia will knock on India's door to sell Uranium. Money talks in the modern era not ethics, not Gandhigiri and geltman's agreement. By the way why is India begging China for civil nuclear deal? France has the most experince in the world in using nuclear power for electricity. why not approch France for this. We can never trust China with all smiles in front and cheating in the back.

Is this reciprocation of Australia, after Team India biggest gesture towards Brad Hogg (Australian cricket player).However this was expected seeing the previous stance of govt of Australia towards Indo-US nuclear treaty.
