India's foreign policy for almost a decade has been guided by the US.After the coup by Nepalese monarch on 2005,India had been in complete dilema on how to deal with the situation.It has been in complete mental block considering monarchy as one of the pillars of Nepalese soceity.
The US policy towards Nepal is guided by its own interest and its hatred towards the word "communist".But India being Nepal's neighbour,its interest is comepletly differnet from US.A developing and peaceful Nepal is always in India's interest.
Why is India so afraid of Maoist?No doubt the Maoist are creating a havoc in India.But it may be remembered that India's democratic soceity is much stronger to be threatened by Moaist insurgency in some pockets.
By turning their eyes away from the ground situation in Nepal where the people and 7-party political allaince(along with Maoist)is waging a liberation from the autocratic monarchy,India will just be hampering its long term interest with Nepal.
The UPA govt should just not be guided by some pro-US advisors and rather take a pragmatic approach to set up a political system in Nepal which suits both India's as well as Nepalese peoples interest.
