It is well known our Politicians try to talk on half truths with half knowledge rather than clear facts. Similarly a lot of hue and cry has been raised by some politicians on this issue.
I usually read Mr.B.Raman's articles with due respect and seriousness it requires. They are always thought provoking with a lot of insights from his vast experience. But there two issues, he has touched in this article, which I would like to mention here
1. that he clarifies, radiation from Nitimz to Chennai citizens, is as good (or bad)as it is for its sailors and staff of this ship.
2.It is mentioned, that the arrival of this Ship to India, might disturb the muslim community feelings. I would like to differ from this point of view, we have been in the forefront for the Palestenian cause , right from its inception, but it didnot deter the OIC countries from conemning India on Kashmir issue and other issues. They and other similar organisations, have never taken the Indias interests to mind, as much we have taken theirs. In such scenario, why India should be taking precautionary steps on such illusonary feelings of theirs. Rather it is advisable to do what is good for India in longrun than to appease them again. We will not get any support from them. The reasons behind bomb blasts in Mumbai and elsewhere are not directly related to our US relations, than other issues very well mentioned in earlier articles of Mr. Raman.
