I apologise if I have made you think that I disregarded the links you included - it seems we are talking past each other; not my intent.
Yes, it may well be an element in the politicizing the debate, but nationalism is a two edged sword, and nationalism is not the exclusive domain of the present govt - you follow??
Again the deal is a huge plus but it is also a negative - and those negatives also include nationalistic sentiment of those not now in the government.
Will this then mean that the deal can be derailed? I don't see how, however; at least to my thinkiing, the debate and how to effect the deal, has a lot of life left in it.
Muse,
I apologize I think I am not able to put my point clearly. The point is the nationalistic agenda which include some points like:
why we are giving away the right for testing? when our neighbors can.
The answer is that India has only agreed for unilateral moratorium for testing. But does this means that india can test any day, NO it will be difficult to do.
Does it mean that India can not do testing at all?
NO, it will be very difficult as the indian economy will be very much integrated with world economy and if India tests it will be difficult to put a ban on trade. India need to find a really good reason for test otherwise there will be very difficult situation.
Here the mention for neighbors came and they were answered.
Nothing more then that.
How to derail the deal? well something very drastic has to happen for that otherwise I don't think it can be derailed.
