Nuclear Deal We must view problems from a neutral point. Whether one belong to BJP, Congress, Left, etc is not significant. All these people explain things according to their line of thinking. Everyone claim that he is a Patriot. Let us discuss subject- as an Indian. Leaders here are looking for'praise' from the west.
We must think of the story of India in the fifties. It was just after the Second World War. India got independence in 1947. In the political turmoil during the struggle for independence and the confusion created by the division of India, the economy was in shambles. There was a slowdown of economy in every country. But, with all difficulties in hand, India tried to walk with head straight. The big brother politics was the rule of the day. They (Big brothers) dictated terms with the less developed countries. Many colonies gained independence. The newly formed republics joined with one of the super powers. They may have their own reasons for the attitude. But WE maintained our neutrality. We joined the nonaligned group under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru. When there was a threat from China, US offered the "Air Umbrella" for India. Nehru thankfully rejected it. It was a decision considering the far-sighted view of politics. "One can not live peacefully with perpetual confrontation with neighbors".
