I am a bit surprised by the authors line of argument. What does he mean by saying that India could have issued a jont statement with China during the Premier's visit to India on the situation in Nepal. What can be a bigger joke than this? A Chinese Premier to endorse a concern on 'murder of democracy'.
India should be pragmatic contrary to what the author preaches, if you can do business with Musharaf & China where is the question of taking a high moral stand in the case of Nepal. just because you cant wish away China & Pakistan it becomes a compulsion. Either one should take idealist stand or a realistic stand - not a mix of both. a mix is crudely termed as HYPOCRISY.
india should realise that the safety & security of Nepal certainly has a bearing on india & today the biggest threat to nepal today are from Maoists & not from the King or the record of Democracy. so India should help Nepal crush the Maoists. But how? when the Government of India is itself supported by jhollahwallahs who draw their inspiration & strengths from JNU which in turn is the cultivating ground of the Maoists like Prachanda.... Its not all that simple, Sir....to put it simply.
