India had said it will continue importing crude from Iran as it abides by sanctions only of Untied Nations and doesn't accept those by any individual country or bloc.

Haha Europe shot in his own feed. India wants to buy every barrel it needs.

It's a mistake to make an enemy out the world's third largest oil exporter. Unlike USA , India cannot just print currency to pay for oil. We have to take it from wherever we get it.

India hit by second day of power cuts
Posted: Tue 31 Jul 2012, 05:24:15http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-19060279
A massive power breakdown has hit India for a second day running, leaving more than half the country without power.
Officials said the northern and eastern grids had both collapsed. All Delhi metro services have been halted and staff are trying to evacuate trains.
Monday's power failure caused severe disruption and travel chaos across northern India.
It was unclear why the grid collapsed but reports said some states may have been using more power than authorised.
Power officials managed to restore the northern grid by Monday evening, but at 01:05pm (0735 GMT) on Tuesday, the grid collapsed again.
The eastern grid failed around the same time, officials said.
"Both the northern and eastern grids have collapsed. Please allow us to address the problem," AFP news agency quoted VK Agrawal, the general manager of the northern grid, as saying.
The two grids together serve more than half of India's 1.2bn people.
I'm absolutely amazed that this story hasn't made headlines around the world as it (technically) affects nearly 20% of the global population.
Just imagine if the Whole of Europe AND North America lost their electricity supplies at the same time!

BTW where has Duncan published up dates to his theory since 2006 (my last date is an article in the Winter 2005-2006 issue of "The Social Contract")?

India's power sector in crisis
Posted: Tue 31 Jul 2012, 14:14:14A good video about the state of power generation in India, note the date!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18251065
Nearly a decade ago India had set an ambitious goal - electricity for all by 2012.
It has remained a pipe dream and instead the power sector is in crisis.
India is the fifth largest producer of power in the world but per head it's among the world's lowest.
Re: India hit by second day of power cuts
Posted: Tue 31 Jul 2012, 16:35:17In India, even in the wealthy suburbs, you can only bank on about 8 hours electricity a day. Gas seems to have caught the general state of Indian electricity provision in one photo.

India, facing its second drought in just four years, took steps to cut irrigation costs and increase fodder supplies for livestock farmers but held off from imposing any curb on exports of agricultural products or a ban of futures trading in them.
India's June-September monsoon rains, the main source of irrigation for 55 percent of its farmlands, are so far 19 percent below average. This has triggered fears of lower output and higher food inflation in one of the world's largest consumers and producers of grain.
Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said the government would halve the cost of diesel - used to power water pumps on farms - in areas where rains have been 50 percent below average up to July 15. The subsidy will continue until the end of the season.
He was speaking after chairing a ministerial meeting on drought, as power cuts - blamed in part on high demand for farm irrigation - paralysed north India for a second day running and New Delhi bathed in its first serious rainfall of the monsoon.
It's all connected.
