By definition, they are people who wouldn’t mind having a prime minister who presided over a massacre of Muslims in Gujarat (whether or not they know what role he played in it). This is where the AAP and BJP constituencies overlap. But these voters are fickle. AAP issued just one statement during its election campaign about the violence in Muzaffarnagar, and apparently that was enough to make the overwhelming majority of Jats, who constitute a strong voting bloc in outer Delhi constituencies, decide to support the BJP. In other words, the more AAP makes anti-communal statements or takes left-wing positions, the less it is a threat to the BJP."
Among other things, if the United States pressured Burma it would be at odd with India and China, both of which trade with Burma. Once again, a nascent nuclear-weapons program is used as an implement with which to bludgeon states when it serves our purpose such as Iran. But when dealing with it puts the United States at odd with states that it doesn't wish to alienate (further, in the case of China), it's all too willing to turn a blind eye to its nuclear program.

AsianScientist (Sep. 20, 2011) – It is a nuclear clash between New Delhi and Tamil Nadu, plunging India’s nuclear power program into a deeper crisis. The clash was initially triggered by a strong opposition to the proposed French-aided nuclear power plant at Jaitapur in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri district. On Monday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J. Jayalalitha, wrote to PM Manmohan Singh, asking the PM to shelve the Kudankulam atomic power project near Kanyakumari until all the fears and apprehensions of the local population regarding nuclear power were addressed. The first unit of the 1000 MW Kudankulam reactor is expected to become operational later this year.

Over the past year, Malamud has — without asking publishers — teamed up with Indian researchers to build a gigantic store of text and images extracted from 73 million journal articles dating from 1847 up to the present day. The cache, which is still being created, will be kept on a 576-terabyte storage facility at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. “This is not every journal article ever written, but it’s a lot,” Malamud says. It’s comparable to the size of the core collection in the Web of Science database, for instance. Malamud and his JNU collaborator, bioinformatician Andrew Lynn, call their facility the JNU data depot.
