Nepal Under Political Turmoil

                                                      Nepal is the only Hindu state in the world even though India is the origin of Hinduism.  Besides, it is a buffer state between India and China. Once Autonomous  Tibet was a buffer state between India and China.  It was a political blunder on the part of  Jawaharlal  Nehru then PM who officially recognized the sovereignty of China over Tibet which brought the Chinese border adjourning to India. It also automatically brought the Chinese border near Nepal. In the process, Himalayan protection became irrelevant to both Countries. India and Nepal are paying a very heavy price for that controversial decision. India is facing continuous border disputes/ conflicts with China and Nepal is now a victim of internal interference of China in Nepal. 

                                                     China also played a very crucial role in uniting the Marxist Communist and Maoist communist parties in Nepal in order to install political power in the hands of the communist regime. China also gave loans and grant to built-up infrastructure in Nepal. This is only to increase its influence in Nepal and to reduce the dependence of Nepal on India. This is a game that China is playing with all poor and underdeveloped countries in order to exploit their natural resources and using them for strategic purposes. 

                                                    However, now China is finding it difficult to solve the political rivalries in communist groups of Nepal.   K P  Sharma Oli, Prime Minister of Nepal has dissolved the House and declared midterm elections as he could not face challenges from former PM Pushpa Kumar Dahal, known as Prachanda. There is opposition from people, opposition parties and including from communist party within. Some people have gone to the supreme court for challenging the decision of prime minister Oli. Besides, people have come down on the road for opposing the prime minister's decision. In short, there is turmoil in the political field of Nepal.

                                                    The Chinese envoy to Nepal leaving all diplomatic protocol has been taking an active part in order to solve the political crisis in the communist party of Nepal. China has also sent a high-level communist party delegation in order to find ways and means to solve the crisis. But it seems they have failed and returned to China. However, still few senior officials of China's communist party are still meddling in the political crisis in Nepal.  People of Nepal have now openly come down to the street in order to oppose China for interfering in the internal affairs of Nepal. 

                                                     India is a silent spectator of the political crisis in Nepal in spite of that former Prime Minister Prachanda has asked for help. India is very much displeased with Prime Minister Oli for creating border disputes with India. It appears that it was done with the incitement of China. However, it seems India wants that relevant parties in Nepal should take a decision in the best interest of Nepal. It is very much necessary for the development and stability of Nepal. China should be kept out of these problems.
