To know why Left is opposing 123 deal, you have to go beyond what Newspapers or these Political people say.
US and India both acknowledge the threat of having hostile Pakistan and Strong China as Inda's neighbour.For obvious and other interests of US, It want to empower India to be able to keep check on both these countries. Nuclear power for peacefull purposes is totally shit thing. US is giving this name to resist opposition from its own people and world oppositon. China is totally aware of the situation and anybody who knows these Left parties can imaginge that China is thus bribing Left to oppose this deal so that this agreement is not signed. Left leaders are known traitors. Even if their doubts are true than what will happen if India conduct nuclear test and then who will stop them. At that time worst or worst US will withdraw their support and levey some penalties whcih will even in that case will be equal to today's situaiton and therefore India only stands to win in any siutuation after signing this agreement. Hope COngress Strategists are listening this argument!!!

I agree totally.To me it as clear as daylight, that China wants to continue to have psychological dominance over India having once given us a hard military slap. Arunachal pradesh dispute,cozying up with Pakistan,Bangladesh and Maya mar are all encirclement moves of China. We need friends who can keep china in check and today it is only U.S.And U.S. wants India to be strong vis a vis China for their own security and influence in Asia and Africa. Geopolitically it is a win-win deal and most essential balancing arrangement.Why otherwise U.S. should go so much out of way to make exception in our case?

You are correct. The larger objective is to enable hedge against china. Ironic thing is that when the nuclear test was conducted the left condemned it. Now they are shedding tears that india will not be able to conduct tests in the future. We should ignore BJP...they've lost senses after being out of power. They are the opposition party and will oppose everything.

You are absolutely correct...really don,t understand y the people are opposing because the worst thing that will happen if India conducts nuclear test is that we be in a situation similar to 'Post-Pokhran'...and i think that we have had reasonable growth even under those restrictions imposed by the u.s. ...really need some rational thinkers in the House
