India's foreign policy decision on Iran nuclear issue
India has recently joined EU, US and other countries in referring Iran to U.N. Security Council.
India claims that it has India's supreme interest in mind while doing this. It doesnot look so. It looks like India has U.S.'s supreme interest in mind when doing this. And the bargain is for getting the civil nuclear co-operation from U.S. It's very obvious. Recently, Rice had openly asked that India should support U.S. on the Iran issue. Plus, Manishankar Iyer, who is a strong supporter for the Iran pipeline project has been removed from the Indian oil ministry. So, it does look like India is dancing to U.S.'s tunes.
U.S. is known historically for backstabbing. When their job gets done, they won't hesitate a minute to dump India's cause.
It's obvious that U.S. has agreed for the civilnuclear co-operation project, just to keep a check on India nuclear facilities. It's an indirect way of inspecting, monitoring and possibly controlling Indian nuclear interests.
By playing this 'Support us in Iran issue andwe will support you in nuclear project' game, they are achieving two goals, controlling Iran,and then eventually controlling India.
Well, does India have a choice ? Sure, the U.S. nuclear deal with India does not look like going to reap energy benefits to India. Some options are gas pipeline from Iran and getting energy from post-Soviet countries. Windmill energy is all set to grow to India. It can be seen how it can be used more effectively.
