Dr Shashi K Pande's lamenting on lack of truth in today's political atmosphere is understandable. But what's the truth. In the context of the subject matter which is to endorse the 1-2-3 agreement with US, I look for the right step. The approach towards the end may not satisfy the 'truth' process. Since 1974 India has been denied the advanced technology and now it is opening up at the right time. If the Hyde Act prevents the country from testing the nuclear warhead, the truth shall prevail ultimately. Meaning whether a 'pokhran test' is absolutely essential for India or not, shall be taken care by the then 'truth' serum for the country. But gains are to be made by signing the agreement. Truth and the opposite are two heads of the same coin. Sibhu Saran or Amar Singh or Siddiqui, if they behave as they do without being endorsed by those who believe that Curzon was right about Indians, I must say let the Truth shall emerge when the vote is taken. When Indira Gandhi was thrown out, when Sanjay Gandhi was tossed out of the plane and when Sonia was stopped at the zenith of change of history for India, it is the truth that prevailed. So be it, now. Jayaraman
