Very wise decision. India has scored both on moral as well as economic grounds. Iran's having nukes can never be conducive to India or any other non Muslim country. Iran talks hot and cold, is ruled by mullahs and is guided by Islamic interpretations-hardly a politically mature nation. On the other hand, the Indian economy can be turbo charged by American business and technology transfer. The Indian Left knows diddly. Go India !!
India has recently joined EU, US and other countries in referring Iran to U.N. Security Council.
India claims that it has India's supreme interest in mind while doing this. It does not look so. It looks like India has U.S.'s supreme interest in mind when doing this. And the bargain is for getting the civil nuclear co-operation from U.S. It's very obvious. Recently, Rice had openly asked that India should support U.S. on the Iran issue. Plus, Manishankar Iyer, who is a strong supporter for the Iran pipeline project has been removed from the oil ministry.
So, it does look like India is dancing to U.S.'s tunes.
U.S. is known historically for backstabbing. When their job gets done, they won't hesitate a minute to dump India.
It's obvious that U.S. has agreed for the civil nuclear co-operation project, just to keep a check on India nuclear facilities. It's an indirect way of inspecting, monitoring and possibly controlling Indian nuclear interests.
By playing this 'Support us in Iran issue and we will support you in nuclear project' game, they are achieving two goals, controlling Iran, and then eventually controlling India.
I think India has matured as a pragmatic state from its baggage of a Idealistic one. Even at that Iran has been making lot of ugly noises and on the verge of becoming a pariah state. It is true US ambassidor has chose wrong vocabulary but that should not come in the way to pave the national interest and the long term relationships. BJP slogan has been congress is a pseudosecular party and it is true but if BJP opposes government move, can it be called pseudonalistic party? BJP should think twice before doing anything strange. Commies will raise hue and cry and if it hurts them , they should seriously consider immigrating to Iran
India, had done well on this issue. It is needless for the left parties to clamour about this issue. All opposition parties, should support the ruling party in the interests of the nation. There can be some discussion on these issues.
Our Foreign policy and economic policies should be above party politics and only the national interest should be the prime focus on these issues.
Atlast our politician have bowed down under the satanic pressures of the us Why cant we dictate our own policy to the world as of now India is a great Economic power and the world requires us but here our lazy leaders are not thinking in terms of this they just cant stand any pressure whether it is National or International.
Our relations with Iran is ancient but for the freindship with uS is just a couple of decades old forget this I would like to know What the US had done to our country till now.?? Have Got answer for this.
This is not the right thing to do . Its time we decide our clear stand on many issues like this , The stand of India on the vote was not clear till the last minute sending wrong signals.
India, represented by its decision makers, is the most stupid country of the world. India is a country of 1 BN still it doesn't get lead role in international decision making, and then it goes and votes in favour of decision of international players, if not anything else it should have abstained from voting, if not voted against. This would have atleast made the world recognize that there is a country which represents a different interest and is not afraid of speaking it out.
