Power Struggle !!
Please watch this really thought provoking video which depicts the perspective of school children on the Nuclear tests that India and Pakistan conducted sometime back.

My thoughts kind of mirror those that you see in this video. Politicians from both these nations are playing over the minds of the innocent public and are raising passion on things unimportant to the common man. What the common man needs is not bombing the enemy but to have a good infrastructure in place for the economy to grow, to get adequate food and other necessary items, to have the best schooling/university system, to have sufficient employment for one and all to prosper.
My thoughts however are not limited to just India and Pakistan. I would say, no Country has a right to hold the other countries at ransom using their nuclear capabilities. Why is it that a few nations get to keep their nuclear weapons while all others are being forced to get rid of them. There must be a common scale to measure all nations. I understand that there must be some defensive force in place in case some rogue nation develops technology with the intent of harming other countries. But this is precisely why the "United Nations" was formed, if I understand right. UN is supposed to have the capability to deter all such malicious intentions. But the UN should be powerful enough so as to not let a few "powerful" countries like US make decisions that would harm the prospects of the other countries.
We are all seeing a growing trend in increased petroleum rates, our over dependence on individual modes of transport which adds pressure on the already low inflow of petroleum, increased temperatures, increase in power requirements for various activities etc.
What we need is a solution that addresses most of these concerns. I feel that the solution should be two-fold.
One, the people should try to lessen their power requirements by optimizing their way of work. Secondly, alternative sources of power will need to be explored to fulfill the growing demand.
One source of power that seems to be tenable is Civilian nuclear power of course. I would say, India is moving in the right direction on this issue.
