Its really difficult to remain a spectator to the events currently taking place in regard to the Indo-US nuclear deal in India.Its high time, now that the current republican USA government has assured its support to the deal for the millionth time, that the Left and the other political parties look at the deal in a more objective way and show more optimism in terms of its execution and attainment of goals associated with the deal for our country.
Frankly speaking, I am surprised and even proabably a bit shocked to see the members of left party ,who in their own right can claim to be highly educated and scholarly, are resorting to outright public display of kid-like stubborness to accept the merits of the deal especially when the whole country is staring down the barrel of an impending energy crisis.I guess being a novice to the politics in India does not help me deal with the feeling any better.
But even in the light of the heavily preached customary prejudice towards politics( read as “dirty profession”) in our country, what hurts the most about the stance the left and all the other parties are taking against the nuclear deal is the attitude they have.What I exactly mean is that for a party like the Communist party and people as learned as members of polit beaureu, both of which aspire to be a part of the decisions being made by the central government and hence affecting all the people of the country, to have such a pessimistic attitude towards the deal and if I may extend without much loss of generality, in ruling a country when it is at the verge of a better tomorrow just seems like very incongruous.
The fact that the opinion of most of the important people related to the deal and in the country is not being given any consideration paints a even more dimmer picture for a general citizen like me.Its high time I think all the political parties come to a consensus (hopefully a positive one) on the deal and take the right step forward not just keeping in mind the current energy crisis but also the vision for the future generations of our country.
