It is commonly believed that the Indian Left is in the pay of the Chinese. I think it is more likely that they are in the pay of the 24-hours news channels. What else did you expect? Prannoy Roy and Prakash Karat are brothers-in-law.

omigod!! One creates news and the other airs them – ahem, so all this is all like the Truman(mohan) show.
I thought he was related to Arundati Roy? Oh heck!
Prannoy Roy’s wife is Brinda’s sister. He might also be related to Arundhati Roy.
Arundhati Roy is Prannoy Roy’s cousin.
Wow! All those connections by marriage and acquaintances. Are we seeing the rise of a settled Indian elite? 🙂
Anyway, the Communists want India to be offered the same terms as China got in its nuclear deal. So indeed, China is a point of reference for the Communists.
I have been out of touch with Indian politics but people there must be smoking some real strong shit if they think that 1/3rd of their electricity needs are going to come from nuclear power. Only yesterday, the Australian energy minister said that Australia might have to abandon plans to build nuclear power generation facilities as nuclear power might turn out to be much costlier than estimated earlier.
It is not true that the Communists want India to be offered the same terms as the Chinese. They are opposed to India developing nuclear weapons. They think that the Chinese nuclear weapons are a useful bulwark against Imperialism.
Have the Communists said so? I did see a point-by-point explanation of their opposition and thats the first time I noticed that India was not being offered the same terms as China.
Even now retired security officials from India are not completely happy with the deal. Considering how Russia was betrayed after being told that there won’t be any expansion into the former Soviet Republics, I am less sanguine and trusting of agreements with western govts.
Honestly, I know little as of now. But after posting last time I did look up this website:

The role played by the scientific community is excellent.
I would like to comment that, most of the Indian Media is politically biased, especially when it comes to BJP rules states they are surprisingly misleading the readers and viewers in this country. Infact, in my true knowledge BJP ruled states are doing well in all aspects compare to other states.We know that there is not a single news paper or visual media which is not run by a family in this country.If you consider CNN-IBN it is the most visibly biased visual media channel ever India have seen, so obsessed with Gandhi dynasty,RAJDEEP and his Wife Sagarika is totally after Narendra Modi and BJP. If Modi sneezes it is a headline story in CNN-IBN!.if you consider NDTV PRANNOY ROY is trying his best to be a pseudo-secularist. But if we closely watch each of their programs it is increasingly getting biased and a person with common sense can understand what is going on behind the scene.Prannoy Roy and Barkha Dutta believes they are the only intellectuals left in this country!.If you look at the news papers, we know the history of Indian express. What role Goenka played in Indian politics utilizing his family run news paper business.Vir Sanghvi of Hindustantimes ( Late KK Birla is a staunch congressman) is all the way praising Sonia Madam as if his career itself is pledged for that cause. A fair exemption can be made for Times of India ,I don’t know If I am correct.Otherwise there is a serious conspiracy going on this country by these new founded intellectual Pseudo Secularists.We must be able to differentiate what is right and what is wrong as these channels are targeting young urban population mixing news with bit of masalas. They are not aware that their credibility and neutrality is being lost infront of the masses.In India Media ethics is a neglected truth.It is the era of family run businesses for personal and political gains.Who care where this will lead the country to?????
