INDIA TOO MUST BE BOLD AND IMAGINATIVE

India is frittering away an opportunity that has come its way after an eternity. This is the time to think big, like China is doing. It has to move away from perpetual dependency on others for defense technology. Along with space industry this is where lies the advantage of developing cutting edge technology of our own. India desperately needs the strength to keep at bay the duel menace of Pakistan and China. This time round if China occupies Arunachal and Assam, USA will not have enough power to Make it go back, as it did the last time in 1962. India has to first stand on its own legs, like Isriel has done. 

This is also the moment when India should choose to increase the share of Renewable energy in a big way. Not only for environmental concerns alone, but for its clear advantages within the next decades and for a sustainable strong future. Humans must stop Harakiri of Life on earth by embarking on Nuclear fuel. It should be the last resort, in absence of any other options and only as a stop gap, before  it is able to harness the power of fusion. 

Manmohan Singh is a great economist and a statesman, but appears to lack the strength of conviction born out of  Scientific temperament. Time is running out.
