Melodramatic much? It's a trade deal (if the parent is to be believed). Both sides are getting something out of it. Presumably, India needs access to the US market more than the other way round.

Indian kings made deals with the East India Company. What did the people got out of it? Destitution?

So no, I am not being melodramatic. India has a history of the State betraying the Nation. Sadly, this is but the latest chapter in a very old saga.

Now?

Don't forever be in victim mode. India is a democracy.

People elect the members of parliament.

Finally you admit blame on your own kings/rulers.

What do you mean "finally"? And why are you so willing to accept the fault of Kings but not the fault of the current Government in circumstances that look increasingly similar each passing day?

Just because a Government was elected doesn't mean that it can't be corrupt, what kind of naive understanding of politics is this?
