Mr. Raman, you agree that the Indo US 'strategic' nuclear agreement is not in the nation's interest. You go on to give your reasons for the same; including the rather far fetched 'reason' that the agreement is not desirable on account of possible damage to 'Muslim' sensibilities !
In the same breath, you choose to play to the seemingly large gallery available in India that keeps trying to invent reasons to pillory the left.
Pray, are you peeved that the left has taken up this issue of national interest so strongly and so decisively ? Are you one of those who would have been comfortable if this issue had been raised by someone other than the left ?
Or, have you chosen to write solely to articulate the stereotypical images and impressions that are so firmly lodged in the minds of most commoners in India about the left ?
Either way, you have revealed yourself to be just one among those commoners (with an intellect not worth talking about) you might be trying hard to please.

Mr Sibby Mathews, First of all, please tell us as to why the CPM behaved, the way it did, in the following cases: (1) Why did the CPM side with China when it attacked India? (2) Why has China itself been cosying up to the USA, for a long time? (3) Why did the CPM people proclaim?: "China's chairman is our chairman." (4) Why did Sitaram Yechury have to recommend issue of visas on a security-free priority to 1000 Chinese engineers, at the expense of our own human resources and national security concerns? (5) Indian Marxists arrogate to themselves a spirit of scientific enquiry and rational approach. But how come, they yet harbour a congenital and uncompromising hatred for anything American, and obsequiously prostrate before anything Chinese? (6) Why is it that Marxists are proverbial adepts in hindsight, but too late? How come they reviled Indian nationalist icons like Swami Vivekananda, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and many others? (7) Why is it that the Indian Marxists had justified the Chinese nuclearization, but poured venom when India turned nuclear? (8) Why is it that the Indian commies cry hoarse against the communal "attacks" on the Muslim "minority" in India, but never care to use a single strong word from their mega-voluminous dictionary of Marxist vituperative jargon? (9) When Indian nationalists criticise any aspect of the Western or foreign matrix, the Indian Reds immediately accuse them of xenophobia. But are not the Indian c

Sibby has shown where his real love & loyalty lies. When the Commies wanted to nationalise the private colleges, including those run by Christians, his people were more than happy to take the CIA money, conducted non-stop satyagraha & overthrew the EMS Govt. Now he shows his soft corner for anti-national communists. It is not a myth but a fact of history that Commies openly supported China during the 1962 war with China. They even alleged that India attacked China! You cannot run with the foxes & hunt with the hounds. You can be on one side only.

Hi Sibby.. can you please explain the statement of comrade Harkishan Singh Surjeet in support of China's strident criticism of India's nuclear test in 1998. What do you say about China's plans to offer similar deal to pakistan to counter Indo-US deal. please explain.

Mr. Mathews,
There are many people in India, including congressmen and BJP, who oppose this deal since PM has not discussed the issue nor has tabled the agreement in the House. If the AGreement cannot be tabled for strategic reasons, atleast the leader of the opposition should have been taken into confidence by PM so that there could have been lesser opposition.
As far as left is concerned, their opposition to the deal is mainly to protect the intersts kx2zkof China. Their actions in the past have conclusively proved that they are anti-national. They go by the instructions of Chinese and are least concerned about India.

This is the REAL problem: All commies think they are intellectuals. In reality they are the apotheosis of what I would describe as an anti-intellectual. Because "Das Kapital" is such a bunch of gobbledigook. It takes only a warped mind to understand it. Even Karl Marx thought he was smart. Which is why he totally stood hegelian philosophy on its head. Mr. Sibby Mathews. The common Indian is a thousand times smarter and what is more, He has integrity which you do not have an ounce of.

Hey Sibby, you are the idiot commoner that India can do without. Why don't you propound your theories about why we should NOT hate you commies? What have you done for India? It's a disgrace that Congress wanted the power so badly that they chose to include you goddamned commies in the govt. You think you are the intellectual when you live on borrowed, defunct ideologies of yore?? As Gandhiji said, stop pointing fingers and look at the three pointing to yourself!! I'd like to see the lot of you go 'home' to China and be fed to Chinese dogs there...
