India and NSG-News, Updates and Discussions.

Here is one of those "WE WILLs" from the past:



"Saturday, January 17, 2009 : 1850 Hrs Hindu

Chennai, Jan 17 (PTI) ISRO has begun working on the Rs 425-crore second unmanned moon mission to be launched by early 2012 following the success of Chandrayaan-I, a top ISRO official said here on Saturday.

Chandrayaan-II will focus on soil and mineral exploration on the lunar surface with the help of a robotic device and send back data, Chandrayaan Project Director Mayilsamy Annadurai told reporters here.

The work had begun on the project and it was likely to be launched by end of 2011 or early 2012, he said. ISRO plans to send a manned flight to space in 2015 and the manned mission to the moon in 2020, he added.

About Chandrayaan-I, he said it has beamed 40,000 pictures since its launch.

The stakeholders of the project would meet soon to discuss the information beamed by India's successful lunar mission, Annadurai said."



I know, but I don't see them smash their Xiaomi or Lenovo phones, so it is not that serious anyway.

Never heard of Indian Standard Time?

Unlike Pakistan, India is neither a small country nor have tensions with West, Israel. So, if little diplomacy help us to gain exclusive rights, there is nothing wrong in that.

Infact you will see only country among P-5 which hasn't supported India permanent UNSC membership is China. Our border dispute with China and their hegemony matters us more than what going on in the middle East.

Can you tell us what your analyst say about give-take to the West.

India as the south Asian subcontinent overlord and superpower, demand too much.
Before the implementation requirements, please have enough strength to support.

Member who blocked India's entry into NSG be held accountable: US diplomat
By PTI | 29 Jun, 2016, 21:47 hrs IST

A week after India failed to get entry into Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) due to China-led opposition, the US today said one country can break consensus in the atomic trading bloc and insisted that such member should be held accountable.
NEW DELHI: A week after India failed to get entry into Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) due to China-led opposition, the US today said one country can break consensus in the atomic trading bloc and insisted that such member should be held accountable.
US Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon asserted that the US is committed to ensuring India's entry into the NSG while expressing "regret" that Washington was unsuccessful in making India a member of the bloc in its pleanary in Seoul last week.
"We understand that in a consensus-based organisation, one country can break consensus. But in order to do so it must be (held) accountable not isolated.
"I think what we need to do going forward is, for both of us India and the US, sit down and take a call what happened in the Seoul, take a close look at the diplomatic process which is significant and see what more we can do and how we can ensure that next time we are successful," he said during an interactive session at the Foreign Service Institute.
Calling India an "anchor of stability" in the Asia Pacifc region, US Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon also said what China was doing in South China Sea is "madness" and it wants New Delhi to play a major role in the Indian Ocean.
Shannon said managing the rise of China was a major challenge and that the US wants to work with India to have a strong and comprehensive presence in the Indian Ocean.
Describing India a responsible and important player in the sphere of nuclear non-proliferation, Shannon said, "We are committed to having India join the Nuclear Suppliers Group. We believe that through the kind of work we have done, the civil nuclear agreement, the way India conducted itself, it is worthy of this."
On India's NSG bid, he said the US would continue to work for India's inclusion in the group.
Shannon, who met Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar earlier in the day, said India's recent entry into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) highlighted that the country is a "responsible and important player in the road to non- proliferation."
"We regret, in Seoul we and India, were unable to open space necessary to allow India to move into the NSG at this moment," he said.
When asked whether he thinks India will ratify the Paris climate deal before Obama administration's tenure got over and, at the same time, it will become a member of the NSG, he said "I hope so".
He said India has given a commitment to ratify the climate deal.
Shannon said that Indo-US civil nuclear cooperation was a very important symbol of friendship between the two countries.
"Just a few weeks ago, President Obama and Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi welcomed the start of preparatory work on a site in Andhra Pradesh for six AP 1000 reactors to be built by an American company.
"This is expected to provide jobs in both countries and bring clean, reliable electricity that will help meet India's growing energy needs while reducing reliance on fossil fuels," he said.

Haha.
It's entertaining , howw uncle sam is trying to threat the Big day China.
By the way, it's not just china , it's 16 more countries in 48 member NSG that opposed India's membership.

What are you trying to say? That they are no takers for US debt? Well, China has been selling billions in US debt to boost its currency and it has no appreciable effect on US. So if China wants to sell its US debt, go right ahead. It will only be shooting itself in the foot.

 

[Grevion]

Well aren't we having enough buttering by the US.
Thoda f-16 le lo thoda f-35 le lo makkhan laga ke.

Thank you China

Never heard of Indian Standard Time?

Indian Standard Times has been way off for quite a long time. High time to fix your clock.

Everyone has an arsehole. Every country has a bunch of lunatics on the fringe. So what?

.

Nothing really. I am pretty cool with that. Being protested is far better than protesting.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

India called the USA to come fight for them. Why does it feel like it has happened before?

Oh wait....

India pleaded for US help against China in 1962 - Times of India

And just like before, the USA ended up using India as a pawn and a meat shield against China.

China cannot stop entry into NSG, says USA (loser)

Because, essentially, NPT rules that only the 5 so called "winners" of WW II can possess nuclear weapons. This itself is flawed. BTW, India's stance is fair and clear. Either all countries of the world, including the 5 "recognized nuclear powers" relinquish their nuclear weapons in full, or allow everyone to have their own "independent" program. India is not against NPT per se, it is against the 5 members' hegemony and double standards.

Follow the rules even if they are are not to your liking, or just don't be part of it at all. You shouldn't really cheery pick, and get mad with someone who told you this is a basket deal. What makes India think it deserve to be the only exception to the rule?

Yeah, the world is unfair, what is new?

The first 5 nuclear powers became the only legitimate nuclear powers under the NPT, the UN and International Law. And are also the same countries who form the UNSC P5.

Next you'll be asking us to reform the UNSC P5? (Oh wait... you've already been asking for that for over a decade...)

(1) No, no, that's the point. How else would we avoid being held accountable for our laziness?
(2) Good.

Yes, you may not be able to fix the "laziness", but at least you can fix those big months. They are really doing India no good.
