Re: Crisis in Nepal - Will monarchy end for democracy?
This is a regional issue, and instability that emanates to and from Nepal had ties to Pakistan. Simply put, in terms of the Indian Sub-Continent, Pakistan cannot be kept out of it.

India taking military action will be in violation of International law. But then again india has already annexed an independent Hindu Kingdom before. Whats to stop it now.
It is a Nepali problem let them handle it.
Lastly this has nothing to do with Pakistan and it should remain that way.

This is not simply a Nepali problem. This is a regional problem. Nepalis should and need to handle this. If they cannot, or do not, India must step in. A power outside of the the sub-continent must not be allowed to become a broker in the region.
To the contrary, this is the perfect place for SAARC to show that in fact it has relevance and is an organization that can deal with a crisis.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
No India must not step in. Why must it? Is there a refugee problem? Is there spill over into india on the fighting? Is there anything specific that affects india other than its ego?
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
Regardless of what you say this is an internal matter of Nepal and while diplomatic pressure could be used by India interferring militarlly will simply be unacceptable. India has no right to interfere in their internal matter by using force.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
Not if it builds a coalition first. Who knows Pakisani and US troops join Bharatis to bring peace in Nepal.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
India never said "we have the right" to interfere in the internal matter of nepal
and india should not also. It has learned from the bitter experience of IPKF
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily?
Similar thing happened in Sri Lanka. India had no choice but to send troops to Sri Lanka, because if India would not have send some other country maybe America or Pakistan would have send. Sri Lanka asked first India to help,and India responded. If Nepal asks, not sure how India will respond.
One thing is sure , the entire Indian subcontinent is a difficult region. Nepal, SriLanka are unstable because of civil war. Bangladesh is getting more and more Talibanised going away from secular Bengali culture. Mynmar is a mess.
Mr nichol, do you have any proof as to China helping the maoist?
India doesn't have the balls to interfere where China is involved.
Look at your India first. It's gonna come down like a storm. Heard all your call centers are shifting to Phillipines coz the damn yanks cannot understand a word of your indian accent. While the phillipinos work for half the pay of an Indian and the most important thing is... they don't have a crude accent.
Three cheers to call centers in india.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
Yes it will. Have you read the protocols of war or the 4th Geneva convention? Ask any international lawyer. Attacking another country is illegal. Moving your troops into another country = war. No way around it.
India taking military action in Nepal is a violation of international law. No way around it.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily?
It's gonna come down like a storm. .
"India is going to come down like a storm"
On whom?....on china.
Dude.....yes India is behind china economically. You dont have to use the sentence you said to prove it. and we are or atleast i am not ashamed or hesitate to acknowledge that. I dont think any indian hesitates to acknowledge this. But I dont see india going down like the way you mentioned ,if it goes down. As far as call center jobs you mentioned, ......i dont know whether it is right or wrong. Even if it is right, it's competition. Ups and downs, rise and fall are always there. One who adjusts to everything particularly in economic sense, will survive.

Dude??? what are you?? A wannabe?? LMAO
As for coming down... you know what i mean don't you? Or are you grabbing straws just to stop you from drowning?
And what competition are you talking about? It's a slam dunk and a thank you ma'am. All the project in india are slowly packing. So all you people in India start looking for a day time job. Good luck!!

the very last paragraph did acknowledge that i understood what you meant....anyway....as far as future of india in economic sense or in general...only time will tell what it is. I am confident about india coming up. Even "if" there are any shocks, they will only come as an opportunity to learn and adopt. Besides, we better stick on to the topic
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
I really find at some places the Ostrich like approach about Indian economic growth on this forum...
You can have biased approach but how come so much self-denial of facts happening in front of your eyes.... the economic numbers year after year. The world writing about this economic stroy day after day......
Guys, India has problems - that accepting facts..
Though saying that Indian' economy isn't growing is abosolute self-denial, and pretty Ostrich like approach.
This thread is already hijacked by hawks...... :-)
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily?
Jason, lets keep the call center issue for a separate thread, thanks :)
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
I agree with others on the issue that India shouldn't involve in Nepal's internal matters but of course India will still be playing games there for its own interests... atleast there shouldn't be any military involved from India's side.
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
Yep, Nepal is too important for India. Nepal, Bhutan create two solid blind votes for India in all world forums, and India provides them with support in world forums.........
It may be wrong, but my take is that India will do whatever it takes. If it means military, India will use logic of being invited and do it.. though that will be sad for Indian polity, if they have to take it to that level.......
Re: Nepal-Will India interfere militarily? Nepal Crisis (merged)
we have given military training to Nepali Army and supplied them with Helicopter gunships and APC's.
I think if the people demand ,we can send our troops to Kathmandu prrovided it will not back fire us.

We will deal with is Jason.. u better look out for what the americans will do to u. U r surrounded by adversaries urself. so better watch out.:)

Nepal protests give way to joy
Nepal’s seven-party opposition alliance called off a massive protest planned for Tuesday, replacing it with a “victory rally” following the king’s decision to restore democracy in the Himalayan kingdom.
CNN’s Satinder Bindra, reporting Tuesday from the capital of Kathmandu, said officials were expecting a rally of 700,000 to 800,000 in the city of 1.5 million.
King Gyanendra announced late Monday he was reinstating the Parliament he dissolved in 2002, giving in to demands of the alliance that launched the protests three weeks ago.
News services, however, reported Tuesday that Maoist rebels rejected the king’s offer to reinstate Parliament.
Additionally, the Reuters news service reported that the Maoists announced a blockade of Kathmandu and district capitals.
Maoist leader Prachanda called on the Nepalese people to continue peaceful street protests until elections were called for a special assembly to write a new constitution, Reuters reported.
Despite the reports on the Maoists’ reaction, hopes remain high for a return to a lasting peace in the nation, with the chief of the army telling CNN the military was backing the democratic process.
The army has been the major force supporting the absolute rule of the monarchy in Nepal during the past 14 months.
A “sense of normality” had returned to Kathmandu, Bindra reported, with “smiles back on faces and traffic back on the streets.”
Shops were reopening and mobile phone services had also been restored.
The protests during the past three weeks paralyzed Kathmandu, causing shortages of food and goods, and forcing residents to shop during the brief times that the curfews were lifted.
“There is a sense that the nation can look forward to building peace,” Bindra said, adding that most parties agreed what the king had now offered was enough for real progress to be made.
Emerging from Tuesday morning meetings, opposition leaders said they wanted to quickly put together an assembly and to write a new constitution that would likely limit the powers of the king.
The parties said they want former Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to lead the new government.
The opposition also hoped to rescind laws imposed by the king during his 14 months of solo rule, implement a high commission to prosecute cases of excessive force and provide financial assistance to the families of those killed during pro-democracy clashes.
King Gyanendra delivered his royal proclamation in a brief television appearance late Monday night, saying the Parliament would convene on Friday.
“Nepal people are the source of the sovereign,” the king said. “Sovereignty of Nepal remains in the Nepali people.”
From now on, the seven-party opposition alliance would “bear the responsibility of taking the nation on the path of national unity and prosperity,” Gyanendra said.
“We are confident the nation will forge ahead toward sustainable peace, progress, full-fledged democracy and national unity,” the king said.
Gyanendra also expressed his sympathies for the 14 demonstrators killed by his security forces.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences for all those who have lost their lives in the people’s movement,” Gyanendra said in the address, broadcast on state television and radio.
The Nepalese Parliament is expected on Friday to swear in a new prime minister and cabinet and to form the new constituent assembly.
That assembly may look at providing a legitimate role for the nation’s Maoist rebel force which has been waging a bitter and deadly insurgency in the kingdom over the past 10 years.
CNN’s Bindra said the army chief told him late Monday he was even prepared to consider a role for the Maoists in the Royal Nepalese Army.
“Anything for peace,” he said.
Most opposition leaders favor a constitution that would give Nepal a ceremonial monarchy, or simply eliminate the royalty completely.
King Gyanendra seized power 14 months ago, after accusing the government of failing to control the Maoists, whose insurgency has cost at least 13,000 lives.
