I really dont know what's the "deal" but being conversant with India's history of past 100 years, know one thing rather well...Indian communists have 'always' gotten it wrong! The stridency of their stand tells me the deal's good for India! Those anachronisms of idealogues couldnt suddenly be right about this one...they used to argue against India's Independence movement! They found fault with Mahatma Gandhi, then with the constitution, then with democracy itself, and 'development' is antithetical to their ideologies, they are hand in glove with terrorists and so called maoists, they were sure opening up the economy was a bad idea...they are just an unhappy lot...so if this deal seems to be getting 'them' into a convulsion, I bet its good for the country!
