IAEA-- Whose pie is that?

What is IAEA?
The IAEA is the world´s center of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world´s "Atoms for Peace" organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. This post is not regarding this organisation so I wont go much into it. For complete details you could click on to the following link

INDIA and IAEA
Until now India was denied nuclear cooperation by the advanced countries because we were considered to be a country which could not handle nuclear energy. Now why did that happen? To begin with, the nuclear tests in the Indira Gandhi government shook the world. No one expected India to have nuclear weapons. As an old saying goes, "Crush the snake's head before it strikes", the developed countries saw a major threat to their dominance. They didn't want a Third World country to be at par with them. Thus sanctions were imposed on India so that no nuclear trade takes place with any country. The deal is important to us as using it we can develop our nuclear power capacity and obtain materials like uranium from the nuclear suppliers group. If we have to be called a developed country we had to develop our power sector which is in pretty bad shape. We have been trying for long for getting rid of these sanctions but every time we were told to sign the NPT (Non-proliferation Treaty) and the CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty). The former does not allow us to use nuclear weapons and the latter does not allow us to test.
But now, thanks to some good United States of America's support we became the first country in the world to sign IAEA without signing the aforementioned two treaties.

This is MINE
My aim of writing this post is to comment on the turbulent political game that took place in our country due to this deal. The game consisted of three players

1. Congress (The present government)
2. The Left parties (Communists ally to the government)
3. Bhartiya Janta Party( The opposition party)

The Congress:-

As the party that formed the government, congress has not done anything to improve anything in the country. All of their decisions have put the people in a tight spot. Reservations are their worst gift to the country. Its a curse that has impaired the very essence of merit. I am not against reservations. But people should be given reservations on basis of their economical background and not caste. Congress has made this cheap political move to improve their vote banks and put the future of any deserving student in danger. Secondly the various financial decisions like waiving off the farmer loans has led to increased burden on the taxpayer. Definitely all the farmers who sincerely paid their loans would think twice before doing it again. This has put the Congress in bad light and this deal was their only chance to save their sinking ship. However there was a problem. The LEFT allies.

The Left Allies:-
Sealing the deal means India would get closer to USA. This was an obvious danger to China which was never a friend of India and always a sworn enemy of USA. The communist parties are an offshoot of the Chinese government and hence are controlled and manipulated by China. Thus they offered a serious obstacle to Congress in sealing the deal.

The Opposition Parties:-
The opposition parties knew this deal would be a big benefit for the country. Actually it was them who had initiated the proceedings. Hence they wanted the credit for it. Now that the deal is being signed by Congress, they have lost their share of glory. Thus they are sulking and crying out unnecessarily.

So the game is on, and I am enjoying watching the players in it. Sometimes the opposition is winning and sometimes the government. I don't think any of these parties are least interested in what the deal would do to the country. Every one want their share of the pie and wish to bask in the glory. When will they realize that if they work together it wouldn't be difficult to make a country like ours, with a population of over a billion, a SUPERPOWER
