King Prithvinarayan Shah, who unified Nepal in 1746, warned his people to tread carefully between its two giant neighbours, China and India. Being Himalaya-locked, the Nepalese have gravitated only south for succour and salt. They have become conditioned to blaming India for their ills, frequently motivated by the ruling establishments and its adversaries and more lately, by external forces.So when there is a drought, floods, cholera, or a price rise, Nepalese usually hold India responsible. Proximity not just familiarity, breeds contempt though it is generally ignorance. Right or wrong, the Nepalese can't help feeling not only India's overbearing influence on everyday life but also its interference in its internal affairs. As for blaming India, the habit has got ingrained in the Nepalese psyche. It is due to Nepal's complex internal dynamics that India has been unable to balance its security concerns and national interests to Nepal's sensitivity to independence, identity and well being. As for Nepal, it wants to eat the cake and have it too. Former Prime Minister K P Bhattarai on a recent visit to Delhi told this writer that the king, and only the king, can mobilise the army against Maoists. Koirala has said the constitution is non negotiable though he is open to discussing political and economic reforms as demanded by the Maoists.

China wants to expand its boundries and engulf the surrounding regions. China have dispute over its boundries with each and every country surrounding it and in the sea also. It wants to support maoist govt in nepal as they will eventually engulf surrounding nation to disolve it in its vast land. Nepal was having unusual govt formation and its monarchy was not that strong. Anti Indian sentiments will hurt nepal more than it will hurt India. India should definately make some stron resent against increasing influence of China in nepal. Tit for Tat as suggested by writer here that we should start supporting Tiwan and Vietnam openly if china will not refrain itself from nepal politics.

It is due to Nepal's complex internal dynamics that India has been unable to balance its security concerns and national interests to Nepal's sensitivity to independence, identity and well being. As for Nepal, it wants to eat the cake and have it too.

The thing that's cardinal in the discussion of matters relating to the Indo-Nepal relations is the sovreignity and the sense of self-rule which if you are dilligent enough to remember was the single most important issue in youe own country not so long ago, remember all the white-skin and victorian mansions and Her majesty?
When it comes to India and Nepal what is generrally accepted is that Nepal is but "this other thing" that "you have to somehow deal with". It is that simple.
Within this simplicity lies the devil.
Nepal as a country and Nepalis as people if truth be spoken wouldn't want to have anything to do with either India or China but for geographical and a lot of other not so geographical reasons our fate is sealed and so are our hands.
The giver always has the upper hands as things go.
And this is where things go ugly or begin to go ugly.
India with it's status as the one with all the keys may it be of the Koshi barrage or of the open border Or a lot of other things not as explicit tends to flex its muscles time and again and that at the expense of a country's right to rule it self a country's sovreignity.
Rakesh sood visits prachanda four or five times in a single day. And that too as a harbinger of things that would befall on the SOVEREIGN nation if it didn't follow the boss's orders
The point of view that at these instances justifies India's sporadic outbrusts and the lullaby it sings for itself is that Nepal is but another one of those...
It is at times like this that we in NEPAL shout out WHAT THE H***!!!! and take to the streets and burn the effigies. Every thing in the world political or otherwise has a certain carrying capacity and when you cross that capacity the act comes to a shreeching halt and instead of forward acceleratioin of events the clock seems to turn backwards. That's is what is so elegantly phrased in Englsih as "BACK FIRING"

Integrity and tolerence in normal behavior but tough and heroic brave at everybattle field are the age-old established identities of Nepali people, like India-Nepal friendship as considered to the time immemorials. They are the closest of friends and bravest of allies that India better knows than others. Over the years, we have been sharing lots in common and always indebted to each others.
Unexpectedly, the U-turn policy shift of India on Nepal had dumped much more complexities on us. As a result, the political instability has further liquidate the whole scenarios of a country. Even in the backdrop of such difficulties, India is intent on inviting more problems every other day. Whole reflection was seen on their minimum diplomatic limitations in Kathamandu over the time.
Now the voice and choice of every Nepali is speedy recovery of peace and stability. So, time has come on Indian part to show fair-minded attitude toward Nepal's internal affairs as to prevent any untowards. It is very wrong on concern's part to underestimate the minimum political understanding of common Nepali people. There is nothing to do with repeating same diplomatic empty rhetoric at the time of extreme external interference, that is, "What is accepted to Nepali people is accepted to India" or just fooling Nepali by saying "it is intrrnal affair of Nepal". Literally, it can be said that in the future, no nepali will hardly stomach such drama.
In my introspection, good number of Nepali people, as always, still considered India as a good brother. So, to the earliest, India better start playing brotherly role in a fair-minded way to stop growing anti-Indian sentiment in Nepal...
