>AGREE,
IT'S YOUR RIGHT NOT TO . BUT I BELEIVE MANY OF YOU WHO'LL
>READ THIS MAIL WILL CERTAINLY GET CLEAR ABOUT MANY THINGS. And in

>we can interact and start to think about the country more seriously.
>UNTIL AND UNLESS WE START A STEP, NO THING BIG WOULD BE ACHIEVABLE.
>Believing on this, I am sharing my opinion.
>"As we see the situation in Nepal, anyone would think that the
>problem lies between the King, seven Political parties, and Maoists.
>And why? What each of them wants? We'd find answers for that also.
>One may say political parties want full-fledged democracy. Similarly
>Maoists want the communism, and King wants to reestablish Panchayat
>or something like that in other form. It may sound weird to you at
>first, but I see this crisis in completely other way. This is not
>any kind of conflict between Nepalese themselves. This is something
>between India and Nepal. It's a grand and interesting game. At the
>same time, highly challenging for both the states.
>
>Every one of us knows the Indian approach of trying to dominate
>others, especially the neighboring countries. Defense and foreign
>affairs related decisions of Bhutan are directly handled by India.
>Nothing new about it, right? Which country in the SAARC except
>Bhutan is happy with India?
>
>Forget SAARC, what about other neighbors? China? Burma? Mentioning
>these issues just to rethink on India's foreign policies! Now let us
>go to what's there between India and Nepal? Care to see it thru big
>brother's side.
>
>India 's average economic growth rate has reached around 7.5% which
>is one of the best in world today. India is second largest market in
>the world in terms of population. Foreigners are seeing China and
>India as the new markets of this age and investing here rapidly.
>Bottom line is- India is developing. But how long people will invest
>in India if basic infrastructure is not there? How much investments
>would be there in Agricultural industry if outsiders don't see basic
>irrigation facilities in the field? In other way, when other area is
>developing, what about large Indian farmer population? When they'll
>prosper if irrigation is not there?
>
>And most importantly, energy is vital for all development-
>industries, technology and everything. India is not capable of
>producing the required amount. India has successfully taken control
>over Bhutan's energy resources and already started to have the
>benefit. Bhutan is also getting something out of it but in cost of
>sovereignty.
>
>Now comes Nepal's part. Nepal is second richest in water resource
>having potential of large amount of energy. Enough energy to cater
>India's energy need for industrialization and irrigation
>and clean drinking water for eastern India (perhaps more than that).
>For that, India can have straight business deals with Nepal. Take it
>if u want, but please pay. But no! India wants all those in the way
>they got from Bhutan. They want to have total control in any hydro
>projects that'll be build in Nepal. They want to give us something
>out of it- lot less value than what we deserve. Since history India
>has been trying for this and as it was obvious for them to
>getrefusal. In the mean time, foreigners wanted to invest in Hydro
>projects in Nepal. But India always fumed and fretted for any
>manipulation in rivers will lead to flood in India. So, all the big
>projects were cancelled.
>
>India didn't stop. They wanted to get the resources according to
>their desire. When Nepal refused, they came into games with long
>vision. What I interpret the game could possibly be as such- Change
>the non cooperative government of Nepal. Keep people in power that
>will be ready to sell the resources of the country fro some money.
>And if required, will be ready to sell the whole country. India knew
>that until and unless royal family is in power, it's not possible.
>This is because for the royals, Nepal is the only place in the world
>where they will get highest degree of respects and they'd never sell
>the country. For that, India played the key role to instill
>democracy in 2046 and implant corrupted people in the government.
>According to the plan, some leaders of ours sold out rivers and
>lands during the 15 years. That we all know.
>
>Now India could not depend only on those dogs. For that, how to make
>Nepal completely helpless in shortest period? So that Nepal will
>come down on the ground with knees. There won't be any other option
>remaining for Nepal and finally turn towards India and beg them to
>utilize our own resources, and give some riots two feed Nepalese
>twice a day. Attack on the source of economy was the simplest route
>towards Nepal's bring down. And then something
>happened out of blues.
>
>Maoists were born in western Nepal which is the hub of ayurvedic
>medicine and one of Nepal's major exports. The area is still under
>Maoists control and no one knows how much of yarshagumba is smuggled
>from there every year. Country's revenue is going in vain. And let
>us recall, it was Girija's tenure and whole Nepal knows how Maoists
>flourished in no time. Besides that, major objective of giving birth
>to Maoists was to attack the spinal of Nepal's economy- tourism. And
>things happened accordingly. Nepal broke and got trapped into the
>crisis we r seeing today.
>
>Now please don't doubt on who gave birth to Maoists. India was the
>first to call Maoists as terrorists when Nepal government was still
>calling it as insurgents. After that, US hit listed Maoists of Nepal
>in top ten among the world terrorists. Nepal government never called
>them terrorists those days. And in many cases, we have seen Maoists
>leader making rounds to Delhi in the same fashion as Girija and his
>daughter. The recent meeting between the parties and Maoists leaders
>occurred in Delhi. How could India arrange the facility when Maoists
>are terrorists? Do they want to send a message thatLashkar-e-taiba
>should be entertained by governments of various nations?
>
>And surprisingly, nowadays Indian media do not right the word
>"terrorists" for Nepalese Maoists. The respected word given by them
>these days is "Nepal rebel". This is all happening because of the
>slavish mentality India possesses due to 200 years of British rule.
>
>Anyways, now let us come to the major issue. After knowing all
>these, I m not in a condition to agree that the dispute in Nepal is
>for democracy. What I believe is it is for nationality. It is for
>saving the nation. It is for raising the nation with what we have.
>It is for replying back to all those who try to play with us. Now,
>it's up to your intellect to identify who is working for what. What
>King is doing, parties are doing, and Maoists are doing.
>
>It'll be a very appreciable opinion if you say what those pancheys
>are doing again here? We should not forget that democracy is
>nature's law. When you are born, you come along with your
>freedom. No force can stop u for that. Let's see the cause and
>what's happening around. Democracy within the boundary is so
>important? Or democracy in a country will be there when a country
>will b there? Let all Nepalese get together and stop the external
>force for some time when Nepal will try to lift up in a position
>from where no force would be able to bring it down. Democracy is
>always there. When Nepalese can change the government in 2046, same
>Nepalese can change the government again in 2066. And if required,
>forever free Nepalese could change the system around the world. We
>don't have to doubt in our capability. But the current need is not
>"restore democracy" as India is saying. Current need for each and
>every Nepali is to "save and raise the nation". When US envoy to
>India made one statement related to India's nternal politics last
>week, whole India shouted back to the ambassador.
>This is something good we need to learn from Indians. When India,
>and other far away nations are repeatedly trying to interfere our
>internal matter,our corrupted media (do I have to name the media
>which have bosses of NonNepalese origins? Or u find it yourself) is
>not tired of singing their songs everyday. These Medias are
>responsible for creating a pessimistic environment in the ation.
>People are not protesting those external interferences which are
>vital in present. Restoring Democracy is not the issue as far as I
>understand. What if democracy is restored tomorrow immediately? Same
>old faces who tried to help the neighbor more than own country
>itself will be back to power. And the process of losing the nation's
>independency which has been stopped temporarily through king's move
>will get momentum again.
>
>But if Nepal and Nepalese succeeds to pause that external force for
>some more time, its strength will be minimized. Many things can
>happen within few years. Zest is- country first! Now, If you don't
>agree on this, I m open to have your opinion. If you feel that there
>is some logic in what I have said, please forward it to as many
>Nepalese as possible. There is nothing good happening to you within
>24 hours or 3 days or 1 week or so forth.
>
>But only God knows, long term benefits could be there.
>Thank you
