It is 4 years now after the Indian government made the Nuclear Agreement with the US, which almost saw the collapse of the UPA-I government.  The government could survive only due to money power and unethical political manovures. The Left parties which were supporting the government withdrew their support protesting against the dangerous treaty with US, which almost put India as a subordinate ally of the US. During the four years, we have seen many agreements between India and US on military purchases, military and navy exercises etc. which is gradually erasing the non-aligned status of the country which was nurtured by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and later. India’s oil purchase from Iran, which was very favourable to India is gradually eroding due to pressure from US. Economic reforms are introduced by the Manmohan Singh to suit the requirement of the MNCs and capitalist countries.

All these have happened and are happening continuously. The Nuclear Deal signed on 11th October has speeded up all these pro-MNC, Pro-US measures. The people and political parties are realising the grave situation and there are rumblings in all the opposition parties and even UPA- allies on all these.

The next two years are very important in the political life of India. It has to be seen whether the people will be able to unite and fight against the anti-people policies and defeat it.
