Do you think millions of Nepalese are fools enough to declare their country as a Republic, and not anymore under monarchy? Indians worry about Nepal simply because now Nepal will be more a little more independent in its foreign policies and not dictated by India. Under the Kings, Nepal was totally under Indian rule and directions. Now Nepal will flourish in economy, in social well beings, it will attract more foreign investments (not necessarily Indian investment although). India need to engage Nepal like equal partner --not some backwater country which has no self-respect. Nepalis serving in Indian Army or in Indian cities and towns as waiters, guards, high-skilled professionals should get a little more respect from Indians, than simply be called "Bahadurs". WIsh Nepal good luck in its new journey. You guys deserve it and you got it after prolonged war!!a Cheers Nepal and all Nepalese. Work hard to better your life and country.

Nepal is transforming itself from a feudalistic/monarchial society to a democratic society . Why will a nation and its people still be dictated by feudalistic ways in the 21st century. This is true independence. A nation and its people's dignity is a very important issue today and every Nepali deserves to live with dignity not only inside Nepal but outside as well. I am not a Nepali but i appreciate the process of political change which Nepal is undergoing now. Though i am not very comfortable about the fact that a Leftist extremist political faction is ruling Nepal now but atleast there is some change towards the better. Before economic development i believe its true democracy and individual liberty that should come first. The image of Nepal and the Nepalese will cahnge and will be respected citizens of planet earth. However, its should not forget its culture and tradtions, in other words, its Hindu Identity. Its important to maintain Hinduism as a dominant religion in Nepal within democracy and secularism.
