Wow... That article reflects the typical Indian paranoia vis-a-vis Nepal, the political backyard of both India and China. The author is a byproduct of just that. The Chinese can never occupy Nepal, never ever. And at this point --- having routed so roughly in Sri Lanka two decades ago -- India does not want to meddle with Nepali Gurkha troops in their own motherland -- thereby creating another South Asian Vietnam... a la Sri Lanka of the '80s.
Even when India went into the hands of the British imperialists, Nepal was there -- an ever Independent Taj of the great mythological civilisation of the Pauranik Bharatbarsha... Nepal will remain. It's independent and souvereign existence, it's dignity and it's striking -- incomparable -- beauty will remain. So long as human civilisation and the earth remain. That Nepal is passing through most difficult times in the history and has been deeply divided at this point should not suggest otherwise.
Good Joke pal... There are better things to worry about in South Asia, the rampat poverty, widespread inequality and discriminations that're breeding problems like Naxal problems verticall down from Bihar to Andhra... and God knows whee
