For the past so many weeks the front pages of almost all the newspapers are filled with news regarding India's signing the Nuclear Deal. Many political parties are supporting it and some are opposing it. Some say its good for the country and some say it will be a mistake if we sign it. So in short we have a prime minister who is running around with a pen ready to put his precious signature and on the other side the whole bunch of politicians on a constant debate about this N-deal. Then finally yesterday the left (in layman's words, the communists) withdrew their support for the congress led government..... wait wait,.. I see you are astonished, yes communist parties withdrew their support to the congress parties in the parliament. But the UPA convinced the SP (Samajwadi Party) to support the N deal in the parliament and the tug of war continues.
At this stage let me ask you a simple question, Why is there a government in any country? To rule the country or in case of democratic nations like ours to lead the country. I think I am right. What makes a country? Is it just the geographic boundaries and the government? I think no. So to make a country we need the most important element the population. So what is this government doing for the population or in other words the "AAM JANATA". Again I will be right if I say nothing.
All the while they have been running after the N-deal the country's economy was going totally in the wrong way. That is DOWN. Even now the fact that the Inflation rate is in the 11-12 range and last year it was in 4-5 range does not mean a thing for the government. I know why. They don't, I mean not one of them, have to worry about day to day life. They get to eat, sleep and lead a leisurely life on the money squeezed from almost all the tax paying Indians.
So what if the majority of the population is turning even their last drop of blood to sweat to earn a decent living. And above all I don't know why the hell I am writing about these issues when neither I nor you can do anything about it unless all of us Indians stand together and raise our voices for our rights. For that all of us have to fulfill our duties and its nearly impossible since its a proven fact that unity is not possible in diversity (remember what we studied in school 'unity in diversity'), and that is something that our politicians and the politicians of other nations know.
I am sorry but I am just another voice in the tower of Babel.

the UPA says the deal will make day to day life easier for the common man - when nuclear energy is commissoned. if that is true, it's worth all this chaos and horsetrading in the parliament. But on this issue too, there are prophets of doom---- we, the people, remain confused.
