Is the N-Deal in National Interest?

The Left-front in the UPA has been claiming that the Nuclear deal is a reason to have more strategic tie-up with the US, and so the opposition. The real question that the Left-Front needs to ask itself is, "Is this deal in the best national interest?" It's interesting to note that basis the instructions from its handlers in Middle East the Samajwadi party has suddenly dropped its opposition to the deal. Part of the opposition may have also gone away as a possible compromise on the cases against Sahara.

The Left has been careful is saying that it opposes the deal because it is pro-US; its opposition is not because it is not in National Interest. The past convergence of the strand of National interest and the Anti-US ideologies has long disappeared. India today cannot afford to have a domestic and/or foreign policy based on ideologies. Its policies should be and are more and more based on only one Ideology and that is one of National Interest. The Jholawala's reasoning does not hold water. They need to come out of their cocoons' if they want to remain relevant in the new India.
