India, US and the Nuke Deal

It’s all about a game! Everyone is watching it. The game is played in India and the players are all Americans. Then what the Indians are doing? Nothing else other than watching the game.

The nuke deal is between the Government of India and the US and the supreme authority to decide the fate of the deal is the United States Congress (after all who is going to benefit out of the deal).

It seems to be a drama orchestrated by super hero Bush and the US Congress (hope Indians didn’t ask for any entertainment). The output also seems to be vivid enough that the US Congress is going to accept the deal. Then why all this fuss with columns filled with discussions. But who knows what the conditions the US Congress is going to impose on India to provide its service (really?).

India will be happy seeing the deal getting passed as if the Congress is doing a favor and with the passage of time India will generously give away all its freedom and autonomy of its nuclear program to the so called protectors of the Universe.

It just reminds a part of history. Once came in the 16^th century the British East India Company, and they started trade with India. Trade flourished in India. Though started with trade it ended with British ruling India for more than two centuries (Colonial Era, 1757-1947). Is it the mistake of trade or the Indians? Sure trade or business is not a problem.

Now it’s a deal just started .with the civilian nuclear program…and let’s watch out what the US is going to achieve …….
