When Nepal's citizens, cutting across class and caste, are rising up to ask for democracy and more power in their hands, why must democratic India worry? When Nepalis no longer believe that King Gyanendra is Lord Vishnu's avatar, why should the Indian polity worry?

Because India has now lost the chance to play a crucial role in Nepal. It can no longer leverage the situation in such a manner that both countries benefit. It can only be an observer, henceforth, since it does not want to be seen as the force that saved the monarch. Indian security forces cannot be used to quell a people's movement, which is the reason Prime Minister Manmohan Singh decided not to send a peace-keeping force to Nepal. ©RedIf

Damn right!

I have thought a lot on India and Nepal relations.

It is us not them. We have to stand on our own feet. Dominating force is a privilage for the strong over weak. It is natural.

We have to be glad over the current nternational scenario.IF it were only a 100 years back, india would have easily taken over Nepal and there would be noNepal now. We have to be equally glad over the current Nepalese consciousness that India will not even think of doing so in the Near future.

Andrapradesh, kashmir, pakistan, jharkhand, assam and nagaland. They have enough troubles of their own.

Now the thread, why India ....it is simple. Thats just natura.
