Coming closer home. the South Asian region is going through tumultuous ttmes. Bangladesh army rs f1ghten1ng 1ts control and curbing democratic rights. It has virtually arrested and jailed the entire political opposition in Bangladesh, indefinitely postponing the Parliamentary eleciions. In Sri Lanka, the hostilities continue and the prospects for peace have receded further. In Pakistan. President Mushorrof is facing growing opposition and erosion of his authority. This opposition is coming from initiatives in civil society as well as from political parties. As a challenge to the monarchy in Nepal, the peoples' resistance culminated in on agreement between the Maoists and the seven party alliance to restore democracy in November lost year. But this agreement has again run into rough weather over the issue ot abolition of monarchy. The people of Myanmar are struggling for resiorotion of democracy against the military junta. The repression unleashed by the military government on peaceful protest marches is most condemnable. However, the persistent protests over the last few days show a deep desire of the people of Burma (Myanmar) for restoration of democracy and a better life. We express solidarity with all these peoples' movements which are being waged to restore democracy in their respective countries. .
The Glasgow Airport terrorist strike mode it evident that 'acts of terror' and the 'war against terror' feed into each other. While the terrorists cite the war as !he reason for their 1errorist acts. the US and its allies cite terrorist acts as the basis tor their war. It is necessary for all democratic and peace loving people of the world to reaffirm their commitment to 'No War, No Terror'. The arrest and denial of work permit to Mohammed Honeef in Australia exposed 1he extent of isfomophobio in the world today. However. his ultimate release through public outcry in Australia and diplomatic efforts by the Indian government is a matter of relief. .
In this situation of growing polarization between global hegemony of the US and growth of ol1ernotives and peoples' resistance in different ports of the world. the move by the Indian government to forge enduring strategic ties with the US would contribute to strengthening uni-polarity in the world. The betrayal of the Non-Alignment Policy by India, the largest democracy in the world, would go a long way in strengthening the hands of the US. .
2. National Situation .
The situation in our country is exactly poised at this question at the moment when the UPA government is going to make a paradigmatic departure from our long standing principle of non-alignment to being a subordinate ally of US imperialism. The Indo-US nuclear deal is a culmination of this approach. When the UPA government come lo power in the backdrop of the defeat of the BJP-Ied NDA. there were three main benchmarks of the Notional Common Minimum Programme: to keep the communal forces at bay, to pursue economic policies in favour of the poor and to pursue on independent foreign policy. After three and a half years of UPA rule, the government is showing failings on all accounts. .
The NCMP of the UPA categorically states that: "The UPA government will pursue an Independent foreign policy keeping in mind its past traditions. This policy will seek to promote multi-polarity in world relations and oppose all ot1empts ot unilateralism." There is no mention of any strategic relations or partnership with the US. However, the UPA Government has tried, since its inception, to circumvent and breach this important provision of the NCMP and continue with the NDA Government's policy of deepening Indio's strategic ties with the US and become its subordinate ally. The very first steps in this direction were token in June 2005, when the UPA government signed a ten-year Defence Framework Agreement with the United States. This framework agreement states, "US-India defence relationship derives from common belief in freedom. democracy and the rule of law and seeks to advance shared security interests." A logical culminotio of this 'common belief' was witnessed in the last month. when the Indian Navy participated in on unprecedented joint naval exercise with the US. Australia and Japan. It is certainly not in our r1olionol tnlerest to join the USA in its military misadventures around the globe to establish 'democracy', American style! It was the Left parties who mobilized people against this joint exercise by taking oul two massive jathos culminating at Vishokhopotnam. .
For the first time in the history of our country, the Government of India has signed a deal which is subordinate to the low of another country. the Hyde Act. The basic tenet of the Hyde act is that the foreign policy of India has to be in congruence with the foreign policy of the US, and will be vetted each year through o report by the US President to the US Congress. The continuation of the civil nuclear co-operation of the US with Indio will depend upon satisfying the US on a yearly basis. Contrary to the claims mode by the Indian government that the Nuclear Deal must be viewed on a stand alone basis. the July 2005 Joint Statement of the Indian Prime Minister and the American President reveals that the co-operation between the two countries is political. economic, military, as well as nuclear. The cooperation also entails promoting 'global democracy'. revamping the Indian economy to facilitate Iorge scale investment by the United States, and strategic military collaboralion. .
The recommendations of the Indo-US Joint CEO forum have also been endorsed by the Indian Prime Minister and the US President in their Joint Statement. This forum was set up with a mandate to "develop a strategic economic partnership" between the two countries and hod representatives like global looters Monsanto and Woi-Mart. Out of the first set of 30 recommendations by this forum, 21 comprise of demands by the US industry to open up the Indian market. They want FDI in retail trade, insurance, education sector and also opening up of the financial sector. The FDI in retcil would be the biggest reason for displacement of unemployed youth from the unorganized retail sector which at the moment provides the second highest proportion of employment in our country. The overall compromise of our sovereignty and independent foreign policy is already evident from India's vote against Iran in the IAEA and the virtual abandonment of the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline by India. The Indo-US strategic partnership is also a roadmap for a compromise of our independent domestic economic policy. .
When this Government came to power, it also made a promise to implement more pro-people economic policies to provide relief to the people of India. But the present government has fallen into the some trap of the 'shining' India .
