Lefts are opposing & playing role of opposition as they should, despite being ally with the rulers, BJP is opposing too as per their ‘opposition dharma’. All those regional & central political parties are keeping mum which otherwise make more noise & fly dust in political air than the alighting helicopter at the helipad or at the highway. Perhaps 123 nuke deal with US is really not good for the country, good for the country but their consent was not sought thus belittling their say or demeaning their MP strength in the house or they haven’t understood what the bloody 123 deal is all about.
India would get forty years of nuke fuel for its civilian nuclear reactor to produce energy, these reactors will be open for inspection & nuclear military activity will be as such no cap on them. Furthermore, India will not conduct nuclear tests. Then there are finer points as US will be bound by supplies, India might conduct tests as deterrence if the neighboring countries do so. Mainly speaking India will quench its thirst of energy for her growing economy more effectively.
US would get dependable customer for the most tricky & politically pivotal commodity US has for a real long term at good price. License to keep watch on Indian civil nuclear reactor & under that guise try to keep Indian industry under its wings by way of squeezing supplies at a drop of a hat sooner or later. Strategically US has found friend in erstwhile ‘foes’ friend’ in India so it can get rid of nagging Pak when it suits them. Perhaps, US might be planning airing world premier show of Afghan II or Iraq II in near future in Pak to nab Laden or its newly discovered civilian enemy Dawood.
The whole gamut of happenings is too intricate to paint on once single canvas. It has variety of shades, loopholes, unnoticed dilemmas, sweet fruits to taste & bitter consequences to test. Yet, all said & done no country can fool its countrymen saying it can ward off all the evils & get self reliant. It is neither feasible nor practical too. It can not be forgotten that, India is growing with pace, it has young force of men & women available at cheap price despite slowly bouncing its currency against the mighty dollar. One can not just think of role of only takers, it has give too in return. In any circumstances India must not give up & stand being beggar in front of US lending its sovereignty at the same time pay the price just & enough for her development.
Sheer IT won’t run countries as large as India, it will require fuel to burn & run her wheels & the fuel is in scarce. India, not only the ruling party at the helm but all those backing, opposing & fence sitter must evaluate & caution if possible for the perceived consequences. India has to take decision & act fast; it has to sail through the turbid & turbulent waters to travel across for material benefits for one who has the money will move ahead. All those lefts & rights must understand & come out of their cocoon & acknowledge the trivial battles for myopic gains over issues & non issues won’t help the nation. With media all so penetrating & idiot box open for long hours in every hut & palace it would be impossible to shun the larger interests in lieu of their party & all those small small dictators of their parties.
