I believe that national interest has prevailed. MM Singh has said that his dream was based on the fact that he did not have water, shelter and power for the first 10 years of his life. The same applies to 100s of millions of people today in the country. We need energy and by jove, we'll get it now - hopefully - and without screwing up the enviornment. Other concerns (than life itself) should be secondary. Left is sir katta yenge lekin jhukaenge nahi - that's Ok when the objective is right. In this case, they are playing with the lives of 100s of millions of people and the future of the country - they have simply got it wrong. Thanks mostly to the egos of Karat and Yechuri. Even their own pitamaha - Jyoti Basu - has said that the nuke deal is good for the country. Even hardliner Thakre has said that the Nuke deal is good for the country as have Jaswant Singh and Brijesh Mishra. People who have been opposing this deal are completely deluded by pride. Hope they see the "light" and forget their agenda of ego at the cost of the country.
