Demo(n)cracy in Nepal....

A lot has been displayed and showed in the media channels on how the "corrupt" monarch of Nepal, Maharaj Gyanendra has been thrown out of his Narayanhiti Palace and has been "forced" to now lead the life of a commoner.
It is obviously good to see that democracy is initiated in our neighbouring country. But then there is no reason for the Indian media and the Left and Centre of Indian Politics to go ga-ga over this episode. The Left obviously has reasons to celebrate, for their ideological brothers have got acceptance somewhere in the world. But then, what is really a cause of concern is the fact that Nepal has turned from a "Hindu kingdom" to ostensibly a "secular" country. So long as Nepal was under a Hindu monarch, relations between India and Nepal had been very good. Now with the rise of Maoism in Nepal, hostility towards India is bound to increase.
There are three reasons why India should worry about the rise of Maoism in Nepal.
First one is the fact that with the advent of this militant "Communism", Nepal is going to get ideologically closer to China, for the dragon country is a Communist nation. Closer ties of Nepal with China would further help the Chinese govt. in encircling India with enemy nations. We all know how much Pakistan is supported by China militarily and financially. Then again, when all permanent members of the UNSC support India's entry to the Security Council, it is China that vehemently opposes that.No wonder why it is being done so.
Second reason why this development in Nepal is not good for India is the fact that the long standing agreement between the monarchy of Nepal and the Indian govt, that had taken place half a century back, is not acceptable to these Maoists, who term that as a "sell-out" of Nepal, and a blot on their nation.
What these criminals(yes this is what I call the Maoists) say is the fact that Nepal should not have entered into such a treaty. It is another matter that it is through this treaty that Nepal is able to feed its citizens.
Thirdly, with the rise of atrocities on dissedents and opponents(Maoists know these things very well), there would be huge illegal immigration into India from our very porous borders. This would further food crisis in India, both in short as well as long term.

All that can be said that although tthis day may be very good for Nepal and its people, it is surely going to be tough for we Indians. Now Nepal Maoists may start providing logistic support to the Naxalites in India. so in short, it is Demoncracy in Nepal...atleast from the Indian perspective.
