I don't understand why this issue has been spreading like wildfire. Although, i ain't a genius i would like readers to ponder upon my points and decide themselves, whether the vote was good or bad for India.
1)Iran must also have voted in the OIC in favour of resolutions tabled by Pakistan on the Kashmir issue? Was there so much debate?
2) The gas piplines would have benefitted more in terms of income generated to Pakistan than to India.
3)Although i dont like to sound a pessimist, but would the gas supply to India in the long run would have been consistent and reliable after spending to many billions & on which our economy would have progressed, especially when it was passing thru a terrorist ridden country like Pakistan. There would have been blasts on the pipeline and Pakistan would blame the so called mujahideen and the indian stock markets would go into a tailspin. So how much blasts would have been needed for the pipeline to be abandoned by India for good.
All i want to say that this vote is a blessing in disguise. Although i would not prefer india to part ways with a friendly Islamic country like Iran. But mind you the world's geopolitics is changing. Thanks.
