Good sense prevailed. Yes, thats the way, it should have been. many people in india do oppose any kind of defence allience with US. It will only lead to destabilizing the subcontinent. This is the reason why Nuclear Deal didnt come true. As rightly acknowledged by lawmaker, if it was purely energy deal where both contries benefited, then there wouldnt be this kind of opposition. US Lawmakers ignored the bargaining power of Indian diplomacy & also awereness present in India. UR tried to fool the intelectuals of India through the mouthpiece of NRI's as well as Old Congressmen by saying Nuclear Deal is what thats going to save India and had numerous hidden agenda. They did failed to understand the awereness present back home. If they tone down and come back and sell a simple energy deal without any hidden motives and simply a sound business partnership,which benefits both countries, it will work..

What sort of opposition you are talking about Mr.Harish? Opposition is mainly from the left parties who represent less than 5% of the Indian electorate.

what awareness??? a nation that wallows on idiotic socialism that shackled its entrepreneur spirit for 5 decades..a nation that was content with a 3% growth rate..is anything but an aware nation..this is why this nation bred a bunch of idealistic commies who continues to preach paranoia of US domination which is thousands of miles away but overlooks 140 jihadi units next door that blows up trains and shrines regularly..you call this awareness????

Very well said. Its mostly the NRIs who are with the deal. Majority of Indians do not want any strategic closeness with the US. We all know what the closeness will lead to. We dont want to become another puppet state of US but unfortunately, the NRIs will find it hard to understand as they have the wasted interest in US
