These forces can take control on the divided people. This combine know very well that how to divide and rule. A strong political system only can mend our pathetic system. Work with SFI, DYFI, CITU, AIDWA like organisations. People's unity is strongest thing in the world. Tsunami waves cannot be resisted with wooden pieces.
Majority understood the politics beyond Nuclear bill. Parties have started to appease the voters. Politicans beautifully do this things with the help of fundamentalists. Muslim League Minister E. Ahmed who sleeps on N-bill is against Tasleema asylum.

RE:why do we need a nuke deal, because nuclear technology brings environmental risks, so the govt can promote alternative sources of energy

The first step before taking a decision is to generate and evaluate alternatives.In India we first take decisions and then justify them.This is the beauty of "notings" system of decision making perfected by the government.
So finally we are going to 'debate' the nuke deal in our parliament.
And what a timing! We waited with bated breath till the deal went through debates, discussions and votings in the US system. And finally when it did get the American leaders' consent, our comrades in the left jumped on it and said no. As though they were in 'Vanvas' all this time.
The commies threatened to pull the govt down, but realised to their horror that they would register an absolute zero if they go to the people - thanks to Nandigram and infightings in Kerala.
So they displayed their most important virtues - generosity, understanding and patience and said lets debate. After all Communists are well known for their democratic ways ain't it?
The losers all the way are Indian voters who elected these jokers, hypocrites and half-educated morons to lead them. Lets pat ourselves on the back that India has made a big fool of herself on the world stage.

debate? What sort of debate? If you want to know the mood of the house, the debate should be followed by voting. BJP has asked for voting, but left parties adamant that there should be no voting. The discussion will be under a section which does not call for voting. They will not allow a discussion under any section which calls for voting.

suresh is only echoeing the thoughts of many more people who really see the value in the deal. Our politicians talk about stock markets without even knowing the ABCs of it. sometimes it really beats when these people talk waht they talk without even knowing they look so comical and display with a great sense of pride their ignorance. these people can be blamed only to certain extent, they cannot be taken to university and taught science, they donot want to see the other side of the world- developed, broadminded. All they are bothered is petty politics. indian politics need youngsters, highly qualified and ambitious.

.. and you fool thinks that it is some kind of girl about which you can talk all the nonsense.
so the parliament will have a mere bull session on the nuke deal to vent hot air. no vote. this is no democrazy, dear indians. bombard your parliament with letters insisting on a full vote if you value india's democracy - such as it is.

How can our parliamentarians vote when a good majority of them have no clue what is it all about? They just follow the instructions given by their party leaders who has hidden agendas. So what we need is to ensure we get educated (with no crimnal record) MPs who can logically think and argue their cases in an unbiased way. Till we get that all this voting etc is just an eye wash.

well, usually that is exactly what happens. in all parliaments you will many key figures - on both sides - who will argue their cases and will bring out all shades around the deal, and will passionately argue their cases. this debates will then weigh on the consciences of all, and will affect the votes in full view of the people of india. all mps will have to justify their votes to the people even as they balance their party loyalty. this is a golden opportunity for common indian people to take the democracy in their hands - should their leaders refuse - and guide their masters and force them to vote. this too crucial an opportunity to miss - in hte interest of democracy. democracy works only when the people show responsibility. otherwise they might as well dictatorship. merely voting at election time is not what democracy is meant to be - it is what happens after the ballots are cast.
