Manmohan Singh is a nice man and good economist, but not a strong leader in my opinion.
I think Narenda Modi would be a thousand times more effective as a leader and an administrator.
I agree with you

Can anyone state what exactly does SCO stand for? what are its objectives? Is it a military alliance like NATO.. is it a economic alliance like EU? Is it something like quasi political-economic alliance like ASEAN? What are its common principals?
For now, it looks like SCO is just a paper tiger without any clear agenda, except being anti-west.
What is the pros and cons of becoming a full member of SCO?
The SCO is a mutual security organization, that mostly concentrates on border security, counter-terrorism, and energy security.
can you please elaborate on this? What are the mechanisms built into to this organisation to achieve this stated objective?
If its objective is to safe guard the natural resources of central Asia, then what role has countries like India got? And safe guard from whom? Right now Russia and china are the biggest exploiters of central Asian hydrocarbons.

That's what the people in the civilian level wants. However, the ones running the country may not agree especially if Pakistan is in it. India will not be happy to see Pakistan getting closer to members of the SCO (especially with Russia) and be left out of it. You will see what I mean in due time.
Here is a map of the Central Asian region as defined by UNESCO:

Central Asia is often referred to as the "geographic pivot of history".
This region was the focus of the "great game" between the British empire and the Russian empire in the 19th century. And we now have analysts talking about the "new great game", although the specifics are open to interpretation.
