Biratnagar: The Himalayan insult and the humiliation that it was of Nepal’s Prime Minister P. K. Dahal during his fresh India visit will go a long way in the annals of “unequal” Nepal-India bilateral ties.
Grater Nepal
The slur and the mortification right began in earnest from the airport wherein a “lady minister of inferior rank” greeted PM Dahal befitting to his stature as Dahal had lived in India for well over a decade under the care and protection of the BJP’s (RAW Division) Indian regime.
And a few street dancers in a weird manner greeted Nepal PM Dahal.
So PM Dahal was taken more as an Indian hand than officially as the Nepal Prime Minister.
Dahal was groomed and nourished by the RAW agency and exported to Nepal to get Indian interests served.
Nepal’s glory touched a new low when a beaming Nepal PM posed for a photograph with PM Modi with the “map of imaginary Undivided India” in the background of the newly inaugurated Parliament building.
India won the battle without firing a single bullet.
The mural includes Nepal’s Lumbini and Kapilvastu as if these two places were inside the Indian territories.
At no point of time in the memory of academicians, intellectuals and historians here in South Asia, the existence of “Akhanda Bharat” can’t be traced and it could not be traced as it never ever existed in the real sense of the term as incorrectly defined by an India whose official name itself was coined by the Colonizer to what today is India aka Hindustan aka Bharat.
A country that has three names is in itself a matter of terrible joke indeed.
Nepal’s PM felt elated as he posed for a photograph with PM Modi with the incorrect and imaginary map.
Instead of protesting for the incorrect Indian mural map that distorts the history but also purposely includes Nepali territories India in doing so signals Nepali rulers that “since you all are our stooges a la Lendhup Dorje(s) or say servants and that you have to bear with such recurring insults that you the slaves deserve”.
The climax of the anti-national act that the Nepal PM did was his floating of the bizarre idea that “instead of Nepal’s sovereign land in Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulekh” currently under Indian occupation could be at best settled by agreeing to an exchange in land in Eastern Nepal that adjoins India’s chicken neck.
The idea thus floated by PM Dahal speaks two things: first, PM Dahal is out and out India’s man.
Secondly, PM Dahal was taken by PM Modi as his own “chap” in Nepal who could exchange Kalapani with a small strip on the Eastern border which may allow Nepal’s access to B’desh for trading purposes.
Notably, the “Fulwari route” to Bangladesh has already been provided by India to Nepal in the mid-nineties so the entire “exchange” scheme is a fishy one. I witnessed the ceremony in Kakarvitta in the mid-nineties along with the Indian envoy (K. V. Rajan) and the Bangladeshi Ambassadors (Mohiuddin Ahmed) who were also present on the occasion.
Remarkably, proponents of this exchange idea are Lady Sujata Koirala, PM Dahal and an internationally acclaimed border expert.
The whole exchange idea gives an inkling of the fact as to the men were heavily influenced by India’s exchange idea and that they might be working for India under some financial gains.
Nepali bottom line is and should be: Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulekh are Nepali lands and India must exit from these areas unconditionally.
They are speaking the Indian voice indeed. Must not be a free affair?
PM Dahal thus floating this switch-over idea has only substantiated that he was made to serve India and is thus committed to acting for India till the last breath, at least this much could be guessed easily.
In the process, the men working for India or say the posted and paid agents of India too have come to the open.
Some are visible and some act with masks. But this scribe with five decades in the profession knows the entire Jay Chands and Mirjaffors coincidently.
Nepal’s complete silence and Pakistan’s Rebuttal:
While Nepal tentatively remained silent over the mural issue that has included Nepal’s Lumbini and Kapilvastu, neighboring Pakistan even if the country was reeling under intense political instability for quite some time yet has rebuked India for having issued a fake map that has included some territories of present-day Pakistan.
The rebuttal says in part, “We are appalled by the statements made by some BJP politicians including a Union Minister, linking the mural with Akhand Bharat (unified greater India). The gratuitous assertion of Akahnd Bharat is a manifestation of a “revisionist” and expansionist mindset that seeks to subjugate the identity and culture of not only India’s neighboring countries but also its religious minorities”.
Purposely the Nepali Foreign Minister N. P. Saud when asked by a reporter in Delhi about the mural says, “we haven’t heard of such a mural and that we did not talk on the issue of the mural”.
Saud was present in Delhi along with PM Dahal.
Saud’s statement does tell that he is likely to succeed Gagan Thapa sooner than later as Saud by shielding India has become the Indian choice henceforth.
Saud is the preferred NC leader for Delhi, it could be guessed.
The events that India designed in Nepal:
The Delhi-based Nepal’s “de jure” administrator, Binaya Mohan Quatra, landed in Kathmandu on February 13, 2023.
Nepal isn’t sovereign but is an India-controlled province.
He stayed hardly for even a full day but accomplished the Himalayan tasks for which he had intentionally come.
His coming itself was inauspicious as he landed on the unlucky 13 February.
Look at the ugly conjecture.
It proved unfortunate; we will come to it later.
The master of Nepali leaders and by extension the entire sovereign Nepal, the Indian Foreign Secretary Quatra left for Delhi and a miracle happened back in Nepali Congress quarters.
He had already tamed Nepal during his stay in Kathmandu as India’s Ambassador.
Nepal’s senior leaders were seen loitering around this Indian national who almost behaved like a Nepali King after the removal of the real King of Nepal and that too under Indian design.
Needless to say, India purposefully ousted Nepal King Gyanendra and posted its presumed agents.
As the politics went by overnight between his stay in Kathmandu and the departure to Delhi, let’s recall at the time of the arrival of the Indian FS Quatra, the Nepali Congress party was yet to publicize/finalise the name of its candidate for the Nepal President to contest the approaching Presidential elections.
And to the surprise of many intelligent brains who were somewhat critical of Indian attitude towards Nepal since all Indian independence in 1947, the NC party beamingly declared the name of the candidate for the post of Nepal President.
Why India chose Paudel for Nepal President:
From the very beginning of the days of ratification of the Mahakali River Treaty, India favored R. C. Paudel and believed that Paudel could be the best “Horse” to ratify the Mahakali River Treaty from the Parliament as Paudel was the Speaker of Nepal’s lower house then.
His own party men claim that Paudel was from the very beginning India bent as a political man.
He proved himself to be one in the later paragraphs.
It was this “million dollar favor” to India made then by Speaker Paudel that expansionist India — the enemy neighbor that it is, preferred to award the same Ram Chandra Paudel with the Nepal Presidential post.
India wanted to have a pro-Indian persona to get the Indian interests served.
Paudel was made the Nepal President for two special political reasons.
The first being to release the Tikapur holocaust murder convict Resham Choudhary from Nepali prison which he very freshly accomplished amidst scathing criticisms across the country.
Resham Choudhary was released as per the amnesty granted by Nepal President on Republic Day celebrations.
However, one doesn’t know which Republic Day celebrations the establishment camp mean.
For the average Nepali national, the so-called Republican Order is just a farce and that it meant only for the upper echelons of the India elevated Nepali leaders who were acting proxy to the Indian establishment.
So the first job was to let loose Resham Choudhary from imprisonment which he did as per the instructions and the dictates of the Indian regime.
The second task for which Paudel made the Indian choice was to approve the pending Citizenship Bill at the Parliament.
President Paudel gave his Presidential sanction or approval to the Citizenship Bill that was put on hold by the previous Nepal President Mrs Bhandari.
The approval day coincided with PM Dahal’s departure to Delhi.
Most strikingly, President Paudel accomplished two Indian tasks against Nepal’s prime interests.
By releasing a murder-convict President Paudel mocked the prevalence of the Judiciary and by approving the pending Citizenship Bill; President Paudel has hastened the speed of Nepal’s Sikkimisation.
Needless to say, India wants to swallow Nepal well within 2030 and the Nepal President has assisted the Indian regime to accomplish the task well within the presumed and the publicized time frame.
The release of Resham Choudhary and approval of the pending Citizenship Bill has just come close on the heels of President Paudel spending a few days right in Delhi-Nepal’s political Mecca.
He was airlifted recently by the Indian regime.
It is presumed that President Paudel was lured and seduced by India during his sojourn in Delhi and told in no uncertain terms that “you have to release Choudhary and approve the citizenship bill for which you were elevated”.
And the fact is that Paudel was the Indian choice only to accomplish these two tasks which Poudel as Nepal’s President obeyed.
The two prime Indian tasks that President Paudel accomplished will have profound ramifications on the functioning of Nepal’s judicial system and also on Nepal’s demographic pattern.
Illegal Indian immigrants are likely to swell Nepal soon.
However, we are not against citizenship certificates being awarded to genuine Nepali Citizens across the length and breadth of the country.
Some friends in Biratnagar told this scribe that President Paudel almost acted like what Sikkim’s Lendhup Dorje did by assisting Madame Indira Gandhi at the time of the annexation of Sikkim by the Indian regime as back as in the mid-seventies.
Traitor Dorje died an unsung death.
Most unfortunately, Nepal’s sitting Prime Minister P. K. Dahal was in Delhi for a four days visit.
PM Dahal is taken as Delhi’s man exported to Nepal to control the administrative and political centers of the former sovereign Hindu Kingdom.
Dahal did all he could to “please India”.
PM Dahal brought two water buffalo as a precocious Indian gift for Nepal and that was his achievement.
How Nepali sovereignty and integrity PM Dahal compromised while being in Delhi, will come to the open later.
The most terrible is the idea of the exchange of Western territories with that a small strip of the corridor in the east to trade with B’desh.
However, the fact is that India shall never allow the chicken neck that almost adjoins Bhutan and China as it is this “chicken neck” if and when awarded to Nepal shall threaten Indian security interests.
So the idea of exchanging this “neck” to Nepal is just to keep Nepal under the illusion that “Indian benevolence is on the way”.
The fact is that this neck is awarded to Nepal, Bhutan and China shall double their efforts in teasing and poking India for their own political considerations.
Bhutan of late is trying to woo China secretly.
Take it for granted and since India is scared of China round the clock so it would be a self-defeating exercise to conclude that India for Nepal will risk its own Himalayan security.
Thus the idea of the exchange of lands is just a sweet ploy to keep Nepal in a good mood.
Unless an intense demonstration against expansionist India is not held across Nepal, India will not return to Nepali land which is under Indian forced occupation at the moment.
A recognized thud could be trusted but not the Indian nationals controlling the bureaucracy.
Notably, Dahal was groomed and kept under high protection by the Indian regime for over a decade and at an appropriate moment sent to Nepal to dismantle the country’s functioning monarchy.
With the monarchy gone, Indian intervention in Nepali affairs intensified.
Nepal’s monarchy had always saved this country from India’s continued onslaughts.
Nepal Prime Minister Dahal has just landed in Delhi at a time when Indian Prime Minister Modi through a mural painting included some of Nepal’s territories in a map called the Undivided Bharat which never ever existed in history.
Instead, Nepal existed on the world map even at the time of the celebrated Mahabharata.
There was no India or Bharat at the time of Mahabharata.
To recall, India is the name coined by the British East India Company.
As against the insult to Nepal initiated by PM Modi while inaugurating the New Indian Parliament building in Delhi, the nationalist Nepali population across the country has been forcefully suggesting the Nepal government place the map of “Greater Nepal” inside the Nepali Parliament.
The official Map of Greater Nepal could be seen on social media. If India dares to misbehave and tease Nepal then we too have the right to retaliate in our own manner.
The map of ‘Greater Nepal’ should be our new map henceforth. That’s all.
