The question is : what roles are we(Indians) want to play towards Americans ? Do we want to become friends(on equal and respectable terms, not being silent always, but questioning things at times)or we want to be silent followers(like a slave follows its masters)? India for years have the traditions where the young (or mostly females)didnt have the rights(culture) of questioning the elders in the family, followers of Gandhi hardly questioned him(b, blind ring Netaji), blindly following of leaders were the norm.This has been wrongly encouraged and advances for years. British education may have changed that a wee bit in some parts of India but Indians even today dislike making questions or objections to popular beliefs. We think it smart to allay with the flow. Americans on the other hands encourages debates, they questions and try to convince them in and out. So when the left are raising questions on 123, many of us getting furious coz we dont like people question us, in turn make us think more. Why can India have open debates on TV, on university campuses, on senates where Sonia, Karat, Advani, Mayawati, etc come and have healthy debates and put forward their points in support and against this treaty ? Why cant we read the treaty ? Why can the Indian nuclear scientists debate ? Why cant Amrtya Sen on one side and Dr.Bhgwati on another side debate? Why cant we take snap pools on the treaty alone ? Where is the question of govt falling ? We can oppose issues at times or suppo
