On/Off the Record
By P.R. Pradhan
Those political leaders in power and their followers—those writers and media persons—frequently say that monarchy cannot be an alternative to the republic. They are predicting that an alternative to republicanism can be a better republicanism.
When a section of political parties and partisan media are arguing against the possible return of the monarchy, people in the streets are lauding the king’s return to save Nepal. Thousands of people have been seen in the streets when the deposed king is visiting different places.
The George Soras-funded media and political leaders, who are known to be thieves and looters of the national coffer, have blacked out the events where the deposed king is being greeted by thousands of people everywhere, wherever the king visits.
The only hope among the people is that the king can save the nation from this critical juncture.
The reality is that the Westerns have implanted the seeds of destroying communal harmony. Anytime, the ethnic conflict may explode, as currently, those Western forces are conducting different tests.
The Indian doctrine on Nepal is to bring Nepal under the Indian security umbrella. It is an old Indian doctrine, which is not acceptable for the sovereign Nepali population, although, those power-hungry political leaders, who stick to power, are ready to accept the Indian design. In the process of bringing Nepal under its security umbrella, India is now spending 200 million rupees worth of development projects directly. This act is against the sovereignty and independence of Nepal and the government led by PM Dahal is solely responsible for performing this anti-national act. India may try to bring Nepal under its security umbrella but the Nepali people will not accept it at any cost. Meanwhile, India should not underestimate China, Nepal’s next-door neighbor, which will not allow Nepal to become an India-protected nation. Yesterday, the situation was different. Today, China has emerged as a military and economic power. China will never tolerate activities in the neighboring countries from which its security will be threatened. How India is being challenged by the Maldives, is an example that today’s world doesn’t accept foreigners’ hegemony, whether it is a small or a big nation by size. India should also test the mood of the Bhutanese people. Bhutan, an India-protected nation since the formation of India as a nation, wants to establish diplomatic relations with China.
India is initiating the policy of weakening the economy of small neighboring countries and playing dirty games taking benefit of poverty-ridden neighbors. This will not last long, India should understand. Rather than intervening in neighboring countries’ domestic affairs, India should help boost bilateral cooperation and relations. Otherwise, India will lose its remaining relations with one after another neighboring countries.
Nepal’s foreign policy is based on equidistance relations with both the neighboring countries. Considering its geopolitical existence, Nepal cannot become close to particularly one neighboring country and keeping distance from another neighboring country. Accordingly, if Nepal suffers from any kind of ethnic or religious conflict, it will obviously affect the two immediate neighbors. The Western design is to create disturbance and make a stronghold in Nepal, which is aimed at the two neighbors. Both the neighbors should realize this fact and develop an amicable Nepal policy ensuring peace, political stability, and economic prosperity here.
The present political system with federalism, secularism and republicanism, imposed by the Christians dominated Indo-West lobby has already been proven nonfunctional. It has been witnessed that the revival of the institution of monarchy and the return to the 1990 constitution could only be the solution for sustainable peace and progress of the country. Instead of confrontation on Nepal policy, both neighbors should develop an environment for political stability and peace in Nepal. Both the neighbours should remain alert that Nepal may turn into a base for the Western powers, for example, Ukraine for Russia, if neglected in formulating a Nepal policy based on strengthening Nepali sovereignty and independence.
We cannot trust the present-day political leaders as they can never be the trusted friends of either India or China. The only mission of these leaders is to make a stronghold in the government and earn money, whether it is the Indian currency or Euro or the US dollar. Not a surprise, the leaders declared Nepal a secular, federal republic country receiving several hundred thousand Euros.
