Dear GT readers,

Thanks for your enthusiastic response to the first issue of GT. There are many of you out there who want to be better informed and be involved. Gobar Times...mmm...now what sort of a name is that for an environment magazine? Some have been puzzled, amused, or just curious. You have read the first issue on the many things that gobar means. We hope you’ve realised the need to look at environment while standing on your head, differently, from another angle. And just as GT began telling you to do that, suddenly, BOOM!!...a nuclear blast.

Now what’s the connection between this bomb business and the world of Gobar Times? Our Pandit Gobar Ganesh is very upset. Says he, "You all making laugh at gobar and me, by jumping joy with these bomb-wallahs! I am giving warning... many problematics and danger to this nuclear stuff." The kind of world we want to live in, develop, is also built by the kind of attitudes we have. So in this issue we present some facts about the nuclear debate. Why is making a bomb that kills millions something great? What kind of energy use is this? Do we need such dangerous technology?
