What I am most surprised about is the type and amount of coverage to the deal, and left's opposition - in the english (and Indic) news papers and TV channels. They are all out to:
1) "Educate" the people that the deal is good, and as good as it can get, even better than what china got.
2) Left's stand is understandable, and respectful. They are opposing it on a plank of the matter of principal. Red Salutes to the Comrades!
3) BJP/George Fernandes/Arun Shourie etc. are irrelevent - dont even show what they are doing.
Now, they have moved on to selling a better and more important news for the future of India - that is the Jail sentances for Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan. Creating a nostalgia - and even a sense that how great these folks are and that the poor folks are being victimized unjustly.
