Nepal’s Deteriorating Home, Defense and Foreign Policy


BY DIRGHA RAJ PRASAI



Since 1990, Nepali congress government is trying to change Nepalese foreign policy one sided, though previously it was quite balanced. More correctly after popular movement of 2005, home, defence and foreign policy of Nepal has been completely failed. Pro-Indian foreign policy is crisis on existence of Nepal. Bhutan is bordered with China. India is always against the good friendly bilateral relationship between China and Bhutan. Bhutan is protected by India. Nepal is also bordered with China. India does not wish friendly bilateral relationship between Nepal and China. Indian leaders frequently visit Nepal. But if any Chinese leader visits Nepal, it becomes matter of headache for India. Actually India wants Nepal under its control.

After the establishment of democracy in Nepal, nationalists protested against unequal treaty of 1950 (made by India) and Delhi agreement. Nepalese people protesting against Delhi Agreement were accused of communists. Communist Party was also banned with same issue. Later in 1956, King Mahendra lifted the ban over the Communist Party. Even after the general election of 1958-59, India did not abandon exhibiting its bad intensions towards Nepal. As the existence of Nepal was endangered, King Mahendra dissolved the Parliament in 1960 and safeguarded the Nepalese nationality. If King would not have been there, the existence of Nepal would have ended up. On the initiation of King Mahendra, Indian army check posts that were kept for security after Delhi Agreement were sent back from northern Nepal. India could not speak because Nepal had very good relationships with China and other world powers. In deed, Nepalese monarch and northern neighbour China have contributed foe saving Nepal.

Initially, India was afraid of communists. Due Chinese terror, India started to use communists. Nepalese communists, being whatever revolutionary, could not get rid of India game. It is said former premier Man Mohan Adhikari was being paid on the name of freedom fighter of India. India understood that Nepali communists can be used in favour of India. After 1990’s popular movement, as Congress and UML rise to government, India found open way to interfere in Nepal. But only leader Madan Bhandari of UML protested the Indian imposition. India thought him a barrier and after his murder again India was happy. Still as India could not do as it wanted with Congress and UML, then in 2005 India convinced Maoists and now India is free for naked interference. The intensions of RAW and CIA were unified to destroy United China in the name of Free Tibet since the beginning of 2000. In between Nepal is entrapped. India always tries to maintain its supremacy either in non-aligned foreign policy or in SAARC. So, Nepal needs to resign from non-aligned policy and SAARC.
Chinese are simple and they understand the things slowly. Due to this delayed understanding by China, Nepal is in difficult situation. The strategic unification of RAW and CIA in this region is dangerous indicator for China and Nepal. Therefore China should openly come out to protest the conspiracy of imperialists against Nepal. Chinese communist leader Mao Ze Dong, never took confidence of Nepali communists. He was in favour of Nepalese monarch because monarch always fought against imperialists. Now India is trying to capture Nepal by behaving like Ostrich with China, being broker of US and UN, and using so called Nepalese political parties. Even in 1989, India tried to capture Nepalese foreign, defence and home policies by terrorizing then King Birendra with popular movements. Even India tried to make confused the King Gyanendra with expectation to control movement of 2005. However India was unsuccessful in doing so. Apart from surrendering to foreigners, King Gyanendra happily handed over the power to Nepalese people.

India constructed 40 km long tunnel investing billions of rupees in between Jammu and Srinagar valley. But Kasmiries did not favour India. We know, India has invested huge aid in every field but because of the ill-intention of the Indians, anti-Indian sentiment is increasing day by day. If Indian interests in Nepal are like that of to Bhutan and Sikkim, India won’t be safe. It is because terrorism can be institutionalized in this situation which will be harmful to India. Therefore we warn India to correct itself from such blunders. Indian interest is to make Nepalese defence and foreign policy in accordance to India. Since 2006, Nepal is being guided by pro-India party leaders. After the downfall of Maoist led government in May 2009, women defence minister (UML) and foreign minister (daughter of Girija), who have no diplomatic capabilities, both are pro-Indian. It seems this could be a strategy to surrender Nepalese foreign and defence policy to India. If you see list of ambassadors of Nepal to be sent to friend country, you will find smugglers, murderers and criminals who have no idea of foreign affairs. Therefore Nepalese foreign policy is shameful status in international level.

After 1990, Nepalese people never became free though were called sovereign. As the King was separated from sovereignty, in 1974 in Sikkim, under the leadership of Lendup Dorji Sikkim parliament decided to unify with India in 10 April 1975. Similarly in Nepal, using Girija Prasad (former PM), Madhav nepal (PM) and few Maoists, India is trying to capture Nepal. The factors behind failed foreign policy of Nepal are betrayer leaders of Nepal and ever continuing interference of India. India is always involved in conspiracy to shrunken the Nepal. Nepal is situated in between large China in north and India in south. Nepal is bordered to India in east, west and south with 1880 km boarder. Besides, there is open border. Due to this, India is always engaged in attacking the Nepalese territory and also some Indian citizens commit crime in Nepal and hide in India. Indians enter Nepal with small and large scale business and ultimately demand for Nepalese citizenship. In 2006, 4 million Indians succeed in taking Nepalese citizenship. Being landlocked country Nepal must have transportation facility in accordance to international treaties and traditions. But India violated it and wants to control over Nepal.

Late King Prithvi Narayan Shah is a creator of Nepal. Nepalese monarch was established fighting against imperialist power. In order to remain protected in between large China India, even in those times Prithvi Narayan Shah preached (1768) – ‘Nepal is just like a Yam (tuber) between the two stones’. We are sandwiched between giant India and China. So, we are bound to have a balanced understanding between them. The nation builder had preached us the same fact. “Establish good and amicable relation with China, have relation with the emperor of south understanding well that he is very clever. If the investors from foreign (India) come to Nepal, they will make our people poorer. In deed, ideology of Prithvi Narayan Shah is immortal. Therefore the monarch of Nepal and China has incredible contribution to save the country.

India was being destroyed by Muslims for some 800 years. Such 200 years India was attacked by English imperialism in the name of East India Company. They had clear intension to demolish and left Hinduism and establish imperialism in this region. Communists do not believe in religion. JNU is popular for producing Extreme Leftists. It was Indian Congress government and policy makers like SD Muni who not only assisted but funded Nepal Maoists to wage a war against Hinduism. However Prithvi Narayan was only one who protested it. He raised Nepalese flag, maintained originality of Himbatkhand and unified the great Nepal. From the beginning of Prithvi Narayan Shah Regime in 1868, the balanced Nepalese relationship with China and India was maintained by every Kings till 2005. Nepalese Kings never afraid of imperial powers. Nepalese Kings never sold the country in any crisis. The balanced foreign policy and patronization of nationality is due to combined effort of King and people of Nepal. Nepal’s foreign policy is focused to get rid of Indian conspiracy. If foreign policy of a country fails that means the sovereignty of the country can be finished. Therefore the nationalist Nepalese people along with the King should stand up in one side so that Indian interference could be protested.
