What is sovereignty? You cannot eat sovereignty. This treaty will cement close relation with USA further. When India was allied with commies, the growth rate was 2-3%. It has climbed to 9% after India embraced US. If we consolidate our ties further, in next fifteen years Indian per capita GDP will hit $10000. We will be just like western countries. Sovereignty does not matter. Look at Japan. US still occupy Okinawa. Their nuclear battle ships are stationed there. But it does not make any difference so far as ordinary Japanese are concerned. It is great to be US client state as UK, Germany, Italy, whole of Western Europe illustrate.
Also, communists do not believe in sovereignty. They believe in international brotherhood of the proletariat.

There is a world of difference between a partnerships of equals than the doormat Dr Singh chose to make of Bharat.
Germany and Japan had a bloody encounter with the USA. They chose the path of peace in which the USA led the way. With such iconic figure as Gandhi as the supposed founding father of Bharat, nothing less than slavery should be expected of the people of Bharat. Why should the world treat Bharat kindly when its own people have been renowed for their treachery. Singh's example is the latest.
Great Britain is the close ally of the USA. It did not stop GB from steeling American nuclear know how to make its own atomic bombs, something to which it quietly approved of a dear friend and ally. That has been repeated with Pakistan which in America's eye can do no wrong despite their part in 9/11. It has been rewarded with billions of dollars in aid, and lucrative market contracts.
I do not suggest that Bharat should go to war with America. A good idea would be to clear out the cobweebs beginning with giving the Communists a taste of cold steel. If Pakistan and Bagladesh prove themselves equally provocative, we should give them a taste of the same medicine. All this would prove instructive to China which would think twice before claiming Arunchal Pradesh.
