US can't dictate terms
by Sivaraman Srinivasan on Sep 07, 2007 12:52 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

India should not support any nation for their Nuclear Arsenal dream including Iran. I don't think India has done it before. I hope India will not do in future too. However US can't dictate terms to India regarding diplomatic relationship with any country.
When US can have with Pakistan despite their role in transfer of nuclear technology to Libya and North Korea, what legitamcy do US has to say about India.

Incidentally, Iran came to our rescue when Pakistan wanted to table Kashmir in UN during PV narasimha Rao's period. It forced Pakistan not to table the motion. US has not said a single word in support of India regarding Kashmir being an integral part of India.

Ask US to come out of their Hypocricy before dictating terms to India though India has prerogative to consider or not.

the american & european market is very huge, over 40 trillion $/year, so the south asian market is not really necessary to sustain the western economies.

They outsource to India coz its cheaper here whch saves them lotta money. Bt we have the option of refusing all that work as outsourcing is nt forced upon us. Its nt a question of wether our foreign polici is being dictated by the US, in world politics every country has to align, adjust to gain maximum benefit frm the prevailing world condtions. Today Iran does nt serve our interests as much as the US does. Nobody is forcin us to svere ties with Iran. Its the cost we are being askd to pay for some benefits that we can get. Its upto us to decide what is good for us, supportin Iran and gettin isolated economically and politically or supportin US and gainin access to markets and cutting edge technology. The decision is ours, nobody has put a gun on our head. we are free to decide.
