Two of the most telling remarks on Nuclear Deal came from 2 young leaders in Parliament.
1) Instead of worrying about how the world will impact us, we should start thinking about how we will impact the world .... Rahul Gandhi
2) This is a deal between two countries. It is a deal between, we hope, two countries that in the future will be two equals .... Omar Abdullah
For me one of the highlights of the second day was Omar Abdullah's speech. It is one of the finest comment made by an Indian leader in parliament, bringing to head the issues that really matter and not just religious or political rhetoric which was dispensed out by Advanis of the world. For full text of Omar Abdullah's speech:

PS: Reading through India After Gandhi, the closest India came to having any solution on Kashmir was during the time of Pt Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah. A strange thought stuck my mind, with the grandson and great grandson now making their way towards the centre stage of politics in India and Valley, will we be able to get a solution?
