With the backtracking of the N-deal, India has lost face before the international committee. Not that losing face before the world is more important that the country's security. But, all this could have been avoided if Manmohan, realising that he is running a coaltion government, had held talks with coalition partners. If would have become obvious to him that the majority of the elected representatives (representing the country) are against the deal. Instead, he surreptitiously went ahead and signed the deal. If that is not an act where his integrity can be questioned, what is???
