It has already been remarked in these columns that the deal went wrong with the Hyde Act. In their enthusiasm, the American NRI that helped to push the deal through forgot to realise that they were involoved in a political exercise in which many actors were persuing their own agendas. Just any deal was never going to meet Bharat's requirement desparate that she is for nuclear fuel to keep her nuclear reacters going.
As a consequence of their oversight, America found a golden opportunity to bring Bharat into the non-proliferation regime, something she had refused all these years. The deal is one-sided in America's favour. No one with an ounce of sanity would put their name to it, except of course Dr Singh and his alter ego Sonia Gandhi and his Government.
The clever wording may have convinced Bharat's masses that it is the best thing since sliced bread until they wake up from the hangover. One good consequence of the deal is that it exposes Bharat's ramshackle of a constitution and Bharat's political institutions, which will not only have to be overhauled but scrapped. Our race is not known for the vigour with which it persues remedial actions, and if it chooses to make its bed with all such acts and omissions, then our country rightly deserves all ills and sins that will inevitably befall it.

I do not agree with Left's agenda but can understand where they come from: misguided long standing opposition to US. But, BJP folks like this Khandu who calls Bharat supporter are opposition something they stood for years simply for political gain. INIDAN-AMERICAN should tell them get your act together or we will not support you in future.

This is once in lifetime opportunity, happend by chance and we Should Realize this and act in time to support our Government and SEND MASSAGE TO BJP TO OPENLY SUPPORT UPA, WHETHER THEY ASK FOR SUPPORT OR NOT, THAT WAY WHETHER LEFT WITHDRAW SUPPORT TO UPA DEAL GETS THROUGH.
This will show BJP is PATRIOTIC and has VISION to bring BHARAT ON TOP.
