The developments in Nepal should set alarm bells ringing in India!
Since independence, India has has excellrnt relations with Nepal so much so that a large part of the Indian Army personnel are drawn from Nepal. The Nepalese have been known for their bravery, loyalty and honesty! Indians do not need a passport/visa to visit Nepal. Till recently, Nepal used to be the only Hindu Kingdom in the world! A majortiy of the Nepalese are Hindu!
This closeness is not to the liking of communist China. Over the years, China has manged to increase its influence in Nepal, by hook or crook.
The latest event in Nepal leading to attempted sacking of the Army Chief by the pro Chinese Nepali PM, is a very dangerous development.
If the Chinese manage to take over Nepal after a few years, it will bring the Chinese dragon that much closer to India. Bhutan, Burma, and the rest of the South East asian countries could be the next in line for amalgamation with China-----Tibet style.
The ultimate Chinsese aim would be to take over India as well --A grim and pessimisstic picture, but NOT impossible.
What can India do under the circumstances?
# Have a strong nationalistic govt at the centre.
# Increase Armed forces strength.Get them good equipment. Give them more powers. # Forge alliances with Russia and US both to thwart the Chinese dragon. # Sort out the simmering internal insurgencies well before dealing with the potential Chinese threat.
These nepalese are only fit as watchmans, of the rich, they dont have brains to develop and lead a dignified life.
The prime minister wants his name as prachanda, as if he is a great person. Instead of doing any mischeif, he shud have started building nepal a new with schools, colleges, hospitals, power dams etc, but this idiot prachanda proved to be a waste fit for only gulli fights.
