The day I felt defeated...

Its a sad day in the history of our great nation, India. Why you may ask? After all the stock exchange indexes are rising and the moolah is being pumped in like never before. You would ask, what happened? Why are you so distraught? Well today is the day that our honorable Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh laid down arms against the damn commies (Indian communists CPI-M, CPI...).
Till about a week back, the PM and the super PM (Sonia Gandhi) were showing off their newly found biceps and daring anyone to stand against the historic Nuclear deal with the US. All this when the commies were threatening to withdraw support to the already lame-duck government. Now in a week the PM has done a U-turn on the deal by laying down arms in-front of the commies. I had never expected this from the seemingly great statesman.
And the commies are gloating at their success in stalling the deal which would have catapulted India into the big-league. Well who can blame them? Public memory is very short, but someone must remember their support to China in the 1962 war. What is the colloquial term for that... let me guess ... treason? And since I am on this topic, I must also mention that China is very happy at the performance of their proxy soldiers. Yes, you guessed it right, I mean Mr. Karat and company.
And I would also like to pay special attention to the role of the BJP in all this. Here you have a political party that was instrumental in getting relations with the US on the right track. But what a sore looser, it has proven to be. Its anti nuclear deal rhetoric is just hollow. I am sure had it been in the place of the Congress, it would have supported the deal in the current form without any qualms. The deal can go through if the BJP supports the Congress. The BJP can redeem itself by doing so. But this is just wishful thinking, as petty political oneupmanship is more important to Indian politicians than national interest.
What makes me sad? A number of things. One, we as a nation will become the laughing stock of the world. Two, the Congress with a great PM at the helm finally resorted to saving the government than saving the deal. Three, the BJP with its so-called nationalistic image, turned out to be just one more opportunistic hyena. And last, alas no-one has the guts to stop the black-mail of this country at the hands of the commies.
Is anyone listening? Or has the rot within engulfed you all?
