Nuclear Race Against Time

If I were to take a very neutral view of the Nuclear deal I would sum up by saying "HOLY MARY, JESUS, GANPATI, RAMA, I CANT BELIEVE WE GOT THE DEAL"

Ok!!! So maayybee that wasn't such a neutral opinion but What the heck!!! Its for real. For a deal riddled with so many anti-lobbyist (some genuinely freaked about Nuclear proliferation, some opportunists and some intellectually pieces of wastes), its really hard to believe that it finally got the see the light of the day. Something that began on 18th July 2005, it really was the drama, not in the 11th hour but the 11th hour and 59th Minute that makes it so special. Forget a documentary, you could create a typical Bollywood Flick with so much action. Maybe you cud have Amitabh Bachchan as Manmohan Singh and Shah Rukh Khan as George Bush. I would also like to choose Rakhi Sawant as Mayawati but that would be an insult Sawant's reputation. Maybe I could take her for an item number song of Madhuri's Ek Do Teen, in lieu of Agreement 123. (George Bush stop smiling.... She is not a piece of meat)

Among of zillion crap things that the two leaders have done during their tenure, this will perhaps shine out as the sole beacon of limelight for them. For Manmohan Singh, who invested more than his personal stake in this deal, this wud rather be a floodlight than the limelight atleast in his mind. Not so much in the political circles considering he is surrounded by Intellectual Eunuchs. He might have dithered just once when he mentioned last year under Left Sponsored Failing Hope that No deal would not be end of the road. Today he can easily show them his Left hand's 3rd Finger from the left. ;)

The Left have members in the age group of our grandfathers and an ideology of their Forefathers. In 60 years they were never part of the Ruling government and this time when they got a chance in the coalition, they were nothing more than a nagging wife who makes more noise than a mad dog. Throughout the govt played a yes and no game with this mad dog. Finally wen the deal reached a phase of Now or Never, they damned the Left, Left said Damn the Govt and UPA told SP, you are my damn Friend. Now started Mahayudh for Trust Vote with fierce changing political equations which when drawn on paper wud make Nuclear Fission Process Diagram seem a cakewalk. A tear of joy rolled down my cheek when I heard the Left quit. Good riddance. :D

Trust Vote:
This Mega Event saw the unlikliest of groups getting together. For the Left who was totally against going Nuclear and its Testing was now fighting against India giving up its Right to Test. :| To depicts the extent of their bankrupt idealogy, they sided with their sworn enemies, The NDA and the Casteist Mayawati. She is one who wouldn't know the difference of Nuclear from Deal made the Vote all about projecting herself as the Next Prime Minister. This seasoned Opportunist put forth the Wonky Donky Theory.

1. Muslims against America
2. America makes Deal with India.
3. Muslims against Deal.

Of course many Muslim bodies have rejected this on grounds they may not understand the deal but are certainly not against anything thats good for India. But where is she listening. After her die hard tactics didn't work it came down to accusing BJP and Congress of cahooting together to scuttle her PM candidature. Thats like saying King Kong and Bigfoot mated together to make Godzilla jealous. :-S

Advani who initially advocated the deal found later that as Opposition head, he must just oppose anything and everything, went back to claim otherwise. NDA says they will renegotiate the deal if they come to power. Halwa hai kya!!! Going back to US and 45 Nations NSG group to renegotiate!!! Are they actually competing with Rakhi Sawant in making Nakhras?? The Cash for Vote scam did mar the Trust vote. 2 wrongs don't make a right but dirty politics was played with dirty politicians to make possible something good. Some votes were bought in cash. Some through promise of Chief Ministership to a convict. And the Left, who had no issues on those tainted voting for Office of Profit issue, had a terrible problem with them voting here. They were even willing to circumvent Constitutional practice by asking Somnath to step down to add in one more vote to their count. Bravo, that he snubbed them right off!!! 2 days of Highest TRP all news channels got. Best reality show ever. One talks of Kalawati, another snubs Mayawati. Few display hordes of cash, Rest all speak trash.

After the Vote was won, the losers went to media with all their Abba dabba jabba. They still go on and on which reminds me of those dogs that keep barking in the night. Reasons unknown even to them they can keep up barking for hours back and forth. Meanwhile the victors went to IAEA and NSG.

NSG MEET: 45 Deshon Ka Taandav

So now victory in Domestic India was achieved next step was to patau the world to say yes. Ironically the NPT and NSG were formed because India had shaken the western worlds spine by doing nuclear tests in 1974. And now they were bending backwards to make place for India that had rejected the NPT. Usual spoilsports here as anticipated were Austria, Norway, Ireland, Switzerland and New Zealand. Powerful Bakbaki Pro Non-proliferation countries they are. After all many of them have elections in their own countries soon and were answerable. When first round fell flat, the second round was even more time bound for the survival of the deal. This is the juncture where one cannot argue over the influence USA still possesses. By the second crucial day, USA made sure one by one the Rogue countries fell in line. All the strings were pulled during the innumerable 3 hour long breaks. All USA had to ask was "who is your Daddy??" and they reluctantly replied "You are"

As far as Hindi-Chini Bhai bhai is considered, they sure acted like a Sautela Bhai. That wolf in sheep's skin afraid of Rising India to China's ambitions made a grossly miscalculated move of damaging the deal at this point by saying there was no need hurry up with the deal (DUHHHH!!!). They back stabbed us even after we gave them a protest free Olympic torch run in Delhi. Strongly worded displeasure from India (1%) and one call from President Bush (99%) made sure the Dragons fire was put out like a phuski apti bomb.

Negotiations dragged on for an uncalled 3rd day and The USA supremacy ruled. They only were the ones to put the sanctions in 1970's and 1998, then lift some in 2001 for co-operation on War on terror and now get India to the Grand Nuclear club. Now we have our weapons, we will get supplies, and technology even in other sectors like Aviation, pharmacy, IT, Space. We are anyways not going to test anytime soon. After Vajpayee himself had assured the world on Voluntary Moratorium and No First Use policy. Unfortunately that does mean that one Indian city may go down b4 we press Attack Button. But if conditions demand, No country, especially not Growing India would bother listening to a deal. Gandhiji said if someone slaps u on your cheek, you present your other cheek. But if someone holds a gun at your head, Sorry BOSS, you have just one head. You got to protect it. As far as Supporting USA against Iran's Nuclear programme, a US law cant mandate India's foreign policy. What would they do? Sue the Indian Prime minister in US supreme court?

Last step is getting the deal passed through the US Congress without the mandatory 30 day period bcos from October onwards starts CNN's favourite Show- US Presidential Elections. And for a country who managed to get all the 45 countries in Line can sure manage that feat in their own backyard. After all they have to hurry up before the Russians and French gobble up $100bn business in India. For India for now we need Supply of uranium which is less. Through R & D and advanced technology we can develop Thorium reactors as well of which we have 300 years worth of fuel. By then God knows, what global warming wud hv done to our earth? The next Ice Age may be approaching. People wud be removing quarterly passes to the moon. But when you get down on the moon, one thing will still be the same. The Left holding Bandhs. I say leave them forever there only. If possible dump them there now itself.
