@sancho you're right. But all I was trying to say was that the arguments that were being made were incredibly ignorant and those demonstrating were being fed lies by those with vested interests. I have no problem with people demonstrating but when they do it from a position of ignorance I can't stand it especially the way they were demonising the GoI for trying to bring development to its people. And nonse of these demonstrators gave a solution to the energy challenge India is facing and these same people would probably be the ones who grumble about load shedding.Abingdonboy, you shouldn't say people are idiots only because they demonstrate for what they believe. That is a democratic right and we should be happy to have it!
Also, it's naive to believe that India is prone to a nuclear melt down, we have Tsunamis, Cyclones, or Earthquakes too, India lies in a conflict region and what if a civil aircraft will be hijeckt and hits one of the reactors? Correct me if I'm wrong please, but are Indian reactors upgraded with air defence systems? Germany thought about it after 9/11, but it would have been a costly upgrade and that's why it wasn't done. But can we rule out such things wouldn't happen and what are the results for India after such an incident?
Besides these that these protesters wants to show their point of view, they also want to inform the public about the risks, because there are so many things that are generally unknown and that are not discussed in a fair manner, because people call them simply stupid, or don't take them serious, BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS 2 SIDES OF THE STORY and we should look at both in an unbiased way and then take an opinion!
+ I don't think any nation on earth has erected credible ADS around nuke pants. But I am sure there are contingencies in place and there is there provison now for the IAF to take out hijacked airliners if there is a threat of these weapons being used as missiles.
