how many of the corny monarchist indians outpouring support for scoundrel royalty of nepal (sorry ... the only hindu state of the world) would tolerate the Nizam of hyderabad ruling AP or maharajah of patiala (with his royal phallic procession every birth day) ruling punjab and haryana ?
we ruling ourself is OK ... the natural born democrats that we are ... but nepalis certainly are too uncouth to have democracy ... and the himalayan hindu citadel must be protected by a awatar like king gyanendra ... doesnt matter if his son rapes every villege belle he lays eyes on ... after all he is the successor-protector to the hindu legacy ...
common guys ... do you really want to reduce nepal to a saudi-nepalia of indian subcontinent ... wake up ... maoist victory is the nicest news to come from nepal ... they may call themselves leftists ... but are actually more nationalists than merely chinko-loving-maoists .. watch out for their actions in the next few years ... this is most historic, most heartening news in the subcontinent since the independence of india .. and it doesnt accompany a partition ...
and still we indians are ruing this ... the only time a neighbor (actually Bhutan did it earlier) follws india's example and it burns the hearts of indians ... how so ironic .. and also hypocrtical !

Dear Niraj, I do not know if there are that many "corny monarchist Indians" to justify your rebuke. India, USA and UK have not, as far as I can tell, interfered with the recent Napal elections. India, a poor country itself, has done quite a lot for Nepal, although clearly India's Souh Block needs to show sensitivity in its Nepal policies. I have come across some Nepalese who seem to think that India should do as Nepal tells it to. At the end of the day, the dog's tail cannot wag the dog - just as India cannot tell the USA to do as India tells it to. If Nepal's Maoist seek to interfere in India, directly or indirectly, by supporting the Naxalites, then India may well think it worth-while disturbing Nepal's Maoist government. Every country keeps a few levers to operate against other countries. So, good will is necessary both for Nepal and India. Then there would be peace. Or else, India has the resources and strength to ride out any storm with Nepal. The Maoist will, as you say, will preserve the traditional, cultural friendly relations with India and her people.
