[Tillu]

Even the PM tweeted this news. Hope this makes us energy sufficient. Interesting thread detailing the whole process.

Beautiful!

Hopefully we go on a warfooting with thorium reactors now.

Seeing meltdown among Pooks...  20-25 years max until we achieve step 3.

It's an absolutely mind blowing achievement. Man I am so proud.

It's not just the third stage reactor (AHWR) that we have to build but also stockpile sufficient U-233 which will fuel the third stage with Thorium.

Need 5-6 Stage 2 reactors and then produce sufficient U-233 and in the meanwhile get the third stage AHWR ready.

 

It's a long road but we are on the right path.

Be rest assured the world power would make it very tough for us.

I am yet to see a bigger foreign policy W than that Civil Nuclear deal... Padosis and Chinos are still salty till this day. Diplomatic victory events like that have never been seen till this day.

 

MMS deserves his Bharat Ratna and Biden Chacha should be given all the credit for seeing it through.

 

And all those visionaries bts who fought tooth and nail to get entire FBR program outside of IAEA realm.

Pooks are useless and irrelevant.

 

Once India achieves a level of parity with China (circa 2050s - China will still be be ahead but not by much) India should do a deal with them - you stay out of South Asia and give up Pakistan, we stay out of East Asia.

 

And also get UNSC membership, NPT membership etc etc. At that point India will be multiple times bigger than Russia, UK, France combined.

UNSC P5 membership will only come through a black swan event or close to it tbh.. India won't sign NPT and no waybwe should,  NSG membership is directly proportional to P5,  I honestly believe India's growth will be stunted by Western hegemons they won't make the mistake of China with us & our industrialisation will be delayed and delayed and by next decade or sooner you will see programs like these being targeted.

 

That's why Mullah regime standing tall and failed states like No Ko keep the focus away from India.  Pookistan will be relevant as long as until India becomes just Too big to contain and most of the leverage Western world have on us is gone.  Until then we gotta deal with it 

 

CCP's survival is also key in all this and part of reason that Civil Nuclear deal and all the extra ordinary Exemptions India was given was to counterbalance China in IOR .. a lollypop Indian establishment has for  long dangled to Western hegemon.  Obama, Biden adminstration and democrats in general were always on board with this arrangement.

We should be okay when they return next time it will be all buisness as usual and we get more time on our hands.. US should be distracted on multiple fronts in next 2 decades minimum.

 

Let's not be the next Japan.

Point is India will have 1.6-1.7 billion people by 2050.

 

Even if India reach 14-15k pci by then, that is still a very powerful country. PPP can be 35k ish.

 

Ofc India then will have more people than China and USA combined and will prolly be the no 1 consumer market for everything.

 

I meant NSG yes - basically the thing the P5 have.

Point is to stop India before 10 trillion like Japan was stunted in 80's and subsequently into a forever vassaldom... Coz Post that India would be just too big to contain.

2050 at current pace India would be unstoppable if all goes well.

Next 10 -15 years will most likely decide where the union is headed.

 

We are entering into a critical phase of our journey.  No country wants to see India rise and that's clear as day.

Point is Japan has 100 million people.

 

India has 1.4 billion maxing out at 1.7 billion.

 

"Stopping" India (or for that matter China) is not the same as "stopping" Japan.

 

Japan in the 80s had around 60% the population of the USA and was still close to it (by having higher per capita income).

 

India/China by virtue of massive population don't need to get on par pci wise.

 

Look at China. Massive power at $14k pci ($30k PPP).

China is a by and large homogenous society unlike India and an autocracy.

India otoh has a lot of fault lines that can be taken advantage of.. also elites and Baboos all have their kids, businesses and families settled abroad.. you'd be surprised if US really puts an effort how effectively it can strangle us

US can but then also China becomes too big for them to handle if India doesn't develop.

Don’t understand the science of it. But seems like we are yet to do stage 3 before we can start implementing being self sufficiey in energy

There is only one fault line and only one method that can get a country broken. 
 

Read Yugoslavia breaking up.

 

Otherwise you breakup like USSR
