Many a times, I feel that our country is better defined as a collection of un-united states than one with unity in diversity. The demands for new states everyday and the politics for the heck of it are nothing new. Every time I feel convinced that we are the next super power, something that our policy makers do throws us 50 yrs back. Today I am scribbling (read cribbing) on something our leaders are not doing. I am cribbing because the government is unable to sign the nuclear deal. I don’t understand that if a layman like me can understand its importance, how can the great leaders miss it? When Vajpayee’s dream can be the six lane national highway, how can he miss this dream of nuclear power for energy needs? I don’t even understand how my heart breaker CPM reads USA in the whole deal? For a moment every time, I wonder if any country has been happy with communism and socialism. Isn’t it sham for dictatorship? May be it’s just a pseudo representation of China, our not so friendly neighbour.
Well here goes a silent prayer hoping against hope that our dear leaders find unity in this one.

I guess our politicians, instead of supporting a good idea, always turn away from it just for grabbing attention. The idea is not to develop the country, but not to allow any political outfit to do something that will have favourable response from the public in general.
I believe the issue of the nuclear deal is not very easy to form an opinion on. Although it does sound that the leftists are just sticking their age old basics of "hate the capitalists and don't have anything to do with them" funda, the fact is a bit more controversial than what it appears to be. Top scientists of our country have raised their voices against the nuke deal. They see it to be restricting Indian nuke ventures in a major way. The only thing that the deal seems to be offering us is the benefit of nuclear fuel which we lack in our reactors.
