On Nepal

Dear Gowri
I am not sure about Maoists and their culture....All I knew was that Nepal is the only Hindu Kingdom of the world and from what you say some so called terrorist outfit (I guess) has taken over the rule from Monarchy....(perhaps groomed by China ??)
On your wordings below "The present Indian Govt may applaud the present "victory of democracy" in Nepal - but, I strongly feel that we are going to pay a heavy price for this !! "...Do I see a contradiction....??
If the majority of the people of that country has chosen a terrorist outfit to rule them, what else can be destined for those people ?? Have I not always felt that you always praise democracy and this is the best form of governance ?? Did I notice any contradiction in your views OR is it just a misunderstanding OR poor understanding of the context from my side ??
Please give an elaborate response .... in the very same blog....and not as a personal mail....
regards
suren
ps:- any chance, China can overpower the web servers and demolish all our musings ??? See, I always scope myself just adequately.....and to the extend I am personally affected....!!

** Nepal **
Monarchy in Nepal is gone and the Maoists are in !! Down the line, say after a few years of Maoists rule, I see China coming in with all its might into Nepal. The Himalayas is no more going to be a border for India in North !! Islamic terrorism is going to get deeply rooted in Nepal !! The present Indian Govt may applaud the present "victory of democracy" in Nepal - but, I strongly feel that we are going to pay a heavy price for this !! Now, India has too many huge windows open along its border - Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh... !! Thank god, we have oceans on the other three sides !!
