How India’s high-handedness has ensured that NEPAL is no longer a friend

 | 

Nepal Chemists and Druggists Association  have alleged that India has stopped over 400 trucks carrying essential drugs and medicine supplies to the erstwhile Himalayan Kingdom .

"Over 400 cargo trucks with medicines, raw materials for medicines and materials used for packing medicines have been held at the Indian side of the border by the Indian authorities for over a month," Bal Krishna Khakurel, director general (DG) at the Department of Drug Administration (DDA), said.

In the meanwhile the shortage of medicines has already set off panic among public across the country.This is not the only issue as the fuel crisis had really hit Nepal badly .Suddenly something erupts inside a small Barkesh Bahadur ,who runs a tea shop but is worried that very soon kerosene will run out of his shop.The how will he support his raging mother and sister in the crisis.He too fought along with the maoist to overthrow the king but today he feels that the only hope he has Gyanendra who stays on the small bungalow unlike those magnificent palaces which are government property.

Barkesh runs for 4 miles till he is stropped outside by the sentry ,the anger is palpable as he shouts in Nepali 'tuh hamra Bhagwan -ho na koch to karo  humein dawai and khanna ki zarurat hai (you are my king and you are supposed to be our god then please do something,please do something- i need medicine and food )

Gyanendra looks rather indifferent but i can see a slight glee in his eyes – he asks his staff  to give the

person some food and most importantly a blanket as the winters appear.I ask the erstwhile King why don't to come out and reclaim your people ,he smiles and says 'these are not the Nepal i wanted to built and see .No doubt he looks dejected and a tad hurt ,his dignified silence now suddenly turns to his ADC Shamsher Rana ' please see if this boy can get some education at our school '

There is fuel shortage in Nepal and petrol is being purchased over Rs 200 India

There have been widespread protests against India and Modi after what most Nepalis say India tacit support to the protestors who are blocking the highway from India to Nepal after the Madhesi  who claim that they have been treated unfairly treated in the new Nepalese constitution .People thought that the Royal would be upset in the wording of the new constitution but they aren't ,more most royals then want peace and have resigned themselves to the constitution .The madhesi which got far lessor under the kings because any Nepalees say had the vision that their allegiance was never to Nepal but to India.This the successive rulers tried keep it under controls.

Certain Nepalese give example of what the Bhutanese kings (a key ally of India ) ensured that they threw out 1,8000 nepalese speaking people into exile .Many say that why did not India use the same issue to embarrass the Bhutanese community .'After all they are friends' says Swaranjay Thapa ,a politically aware student who sees the cynicism here.

Recently India raised Nepal's human rights issue at the UN which has received a lot of flak from the Nepalese PM and many political commentators are stating that India's interference in Nepal will hurt the long standing friendship between the two countries.China on its part has played it role very well and diplomatically ensured that help and aid reach Nepal in their time of crisis.

India has always themselves have been unhappy at their human record in the UN as the issue of Kashmir or Northeast India  comes up – hence they always like to say this is the internal matter of a country .Attacking Nepal on this specific issue may open a pandora's box at the United Nation

It remains to be seen how Indo-Nepal relation will improve as there was much expectation in Nepal after Narendra Modi's victory and his successful visit.However it seems that arrogance of the Indian officials and a lack of vision by the PMO has seriously dented India's image in the country .

One year ago Narendra Modi was the Great Hero in India and also in Nepal where he addressed thousands and winning over even the most doubting thomases.In In just a year Narendra Modi may have spent a lot of health  package for the earthquake victims along with hordes ofTV channels and anchors , he has made one basic mistake towards Nepali's .

Unlike people where Modi comes from 'Gujarat' there is a lot of negotiating and conversation wether this happens politically or even when in government For e.g. it is not common within the house  when there is a conflict between tow brothers to say something like  'Mein bhada hoon tum chup hoo ,chup raho or the most important line aape awkad me rahna ,varna dekh longa'(I am big so you keep quiet )(stay in your position and don't try to be to big otherwise we will handle you )

This perfectly fine in Mr Arora's family or in Some Bakshi houselhold but hello people we are talking about a neighbour here and what we have done is a total disaster in our foreign policy toward our most friendly neigbour.

Long time ago i heard that the scripts in Hindi movies change faster than even a commitment given to a superstar by a failing director

South block may just be forgiven to trying to emulate that – Our aim was to make Nepal as a state which would as a country where tourism would flourish,education at par with others and a country which over the years be united and let the differences of the Shah's and the Rana's be a thing of the past .

India has shown just one thing – constant road blockade where petrol prices are sky rocketing and essential medicine supplies are stuck in the borders -most of them perishing .

Modi before you became Pm many in India called you arrogant and spiteful , you destroyed the congress and became the most traveled PM in years .Now Many in Nepal are calling you arrogant will you atleast speak on the subject ……since we know you hardly use your twitter account for policy statements – they are attest meant for selfie .

Poor India they wanted a PM all then ended up getting is a kodak moment  #Sefies
