For two mega democracies in different stages of development with two different kinds of societies, with myriad stake holders on each side and with multiplicty of issues, it is not easy to come on even term on a matter of such fundamental import which would for ever alter the geo-political dynamics in this post-cold war era. Long range planning perspectives as late Drucker thought of it may hold the key to reconcilation and assist chalking out the next step. In 9164 India formalised its nuclear intention. Soon thereafter came US backed 1965 war from Pak generals, next came pressuried 1967 depreciation and India being cut off from NPT. 1971 saw even bitter days of US support to the repressive regime. 1974 led to formation of NSG. The US onslaughts have been relentless on India and the constituency within India which is aware of these development is very wide and pervasive. The N-deal would lead to complete reconciliation of this super large constituency. To expect India to walk one more set of gauntlet is trifle unfair.
This is not surprising. These are typial US tactics. The good news is US's game is up. and this deal is as good as finished (exactly as US herself killed CTBT, Kyoto protocol). India is saved. Manmohan has already committed blunders and now his position is so weak that if he agrees to US terms (which will be most traitorous) then even GOD also cannot save Congress. So the game is over.
Be glad my friends. India will struggle in short run but finally we will emerge stronger.

Freedom in India is absolutely marvelous, even better than any other country. Everybody is free to comment in favor or even criticize anybody in India. India is as close you get to true freedom as possible in this limited physical world.
The outcome of the nuclear deal was predictable since day one, when USA refused to recognize India as a genuine and legitimate nuclear weapons state, just as the five others in NSG. The pessimisic tone for the negotiations was already set since the initial American refusal. They want to subordinate and dishonor the sovereign giant, Bharat, that has stood on it's own ground since humanity started. Humanity started in India, now the world is challenging their own ancestors....as usual if I may add.
Every day for the last 3 days rediff has an article showing why we should cave in suddenly now . The hyde act deviates from previous understanding. India wanted this deal true, but let us not become short sighted . Is this rediff propoganda machine at work ?
