Nepal: India’s denude campaign begins


N. P. Upadhyaya Nepali

Kathmandu: Whether Indian regime is repenting over its past notorious deeds or is yet to understand the gravity of the prevailing Nepali political situation has become very difficult to contemplate.

Self defeating speeches are being made by those who remained instrumental in damaging Nepal around 2005, if one were to recall, is puzzling in that one school of thought which ruined Nepal prefers to go along with the present set of Nepali leaders perhaps concluding that whatever is left of Nepal could further be damaged which in turn would allow the former British colony to dictate its terms on Nepal for indefinite period. The bid is in progress as of Tuesday afternoon, July 31, 2012.

The other set which is equally dangerous but apparently has come to its senses and begun denuding those Nepali “partners” with whose support this secret paraphernalia damaged Nepal and catapulted its politics back in 2005-6.  S. D. Muni has taken the lead. Sense prevails now among the perverted brains?
Let’s come to the point.

Professor Sukh Deo Muni, the lone expert on Nepal, took the front row in exposing his own disciples-Dahal and Babu Ram Bhattarai through a recently published book wherein he stated that he, read Muni, managed a very dangerous agreement to be inked in between the Nepal Maoists duo, then residing and enjoying the Indian hospitality, and the Indian Prime Minister’s Office in June 2002 wherein Nepal’s heroes and builders of “proletarian change” fame promised not to cause any harm to Indian interests but instead will surely pounce upon Nepal to which they successfully accomplished as per the “written agreement” which apparently assumed the force of a Treaty a la 1950.

This treaty must have remained valid as of now for the same set is steering the country.

Muni in his story published in the book “Nepal in Transition....” further hints at the fact that it was he who brought BRB and Dahal closer to the RAW machinery to which we have mentioned already in these columns some three weeks ago.

The gist, as much as could be grasped, Muni is now hell bent on exposing his own obedient students for some hidden purpose. But what ails him now?

Analysts recall that it was this Professor who at a Kathmandu press meet had bluntly said that “Indian foreign policy on Nepal needs a grand change”.

What could it mean? Muni is presumed to be close to the South Block-RAW hardliner branch which charts Nepal policy.

But Muni is not what he poses to be. He is yet killing the prestige of Nepal. Only, Tuesday afternoon, Muni told a “special” gathering of intellectuals that King Tribhuwan had told Pundit Nehru to get Nepal merged into the Indian Union which had just itself been freed from the rigorous British rule, if that saved his honour and throne back in Nepal.

This talk is simply rubbish and specially made to let the heads bow down of the ever sovereign Nepalese nationals. (We have been told that none of the nationalist participants raised questions to Muni to authenticate his claims. Nepali nationalism going down hill).

It can’t be like that. If King Tribhuwan wanted to save his throne then why should he approach Pundit Nehru for the Muni’s manufactured merger? By the way, his throne was quite safe in Kathmandu. The Ranas had already come to their senses. Nehru definitely helped King Tribhuwan but on his terms.

Yes! At best what had happened, as Muni mentions, is just the opposite.

The fact is that King Tribhuwan and Nehru did talk on how to preserve the Nepali sovereignty because Nehru was bit concerned with the increasing influence of China. Nehru in essence preferred Nepal to remain an independent and a sovereign nation so that she could not confront China directly from this part of Himalayan Asia. At least the presence of an independent Nepal will act like a deterrent in between the two giants. Nepali sovereignty in effect became a natural tool for India to save her own territory because China would never dare to attack India by entering through the landmass of an Independent nation.

As of the airy talk of Professor Muni, during the talk he said that “I have no evidence to prove what I said but yet I will disclose it as and when I have the proof”. He is correct as he was not present when Nehru and Tribhuwan could have dared to talk such an absurd. May be Muni was then a milk sucking child.

But the rumours in Kathmandu have a different story to tell to rebuke Muni’s blasphemous remarks. .

After the Nehru-Tribhuwan talk, the latter told the former that “I will have to talk to my son because he is the heir apparent first and then I will communicate to you”.

When the father and son met, King Mahendra got the details of his father’s talk with Nehru and went into a deep thought.

After a few minutes of silence Mahendra said to his father in a manner as is demanded in a Royal family, “Thik Cha Teso Bhaye Buwa Hajur! Ani Nehru Lai Hajur Ley Teso Bhaye Sodhi Baksiyous Ki Nepali Jhanda Dilli Ko Kun Thau Ma Gadney Ho”. ( Its literal translation: Ok then Respected father! When you meet Pundit Nehru, ask him as to where should the flag of Nepal be fixed in Delhi as Nepal’s Capital).

This explanation appears to be closer to the truth and authentic.

Mind it that both father and son were not in good terms. Even if Tribhuwan may have said so and wished for (it can’t be imagined even) then Mahendra would have rejected the “self manufactured” proposal tooth and nail.

What if some Nepali intellectuals claim that Mahatma Gandhi too from his inner heart preferred to hand over the entire colony to the British as Nehru and Jinnah were creating troubles for him? Will the Indian nationals tolerate these Nepali airy talks? Perhaps not. Indeed, the Indians understand the value of nationalism. Analysts admire Indian national's sentimental attachments towards their motherland.

Now back to our analysis.

As if this were not enough, the all time Nepal hater, Ambassador Shyam Saran just the other day beamingly claimed that “India has been influencing Nepal in particular cases”.

In the process of his speech that he made in New Delhi, Saran-the one who managed the Indian hospitality to then Delhi residing Nepal Maoists, unashamedly said further that
“I wouldn’t say that India has no influence in Nepal but such influence should be used in a proactive manner and that was what we did in 2005 during the 12-point understanding and in the case of then army chief Rookmangud Katawal in 2009. The secret of 2005 movement thoroughly exposed.

Damaging Nepal how could be a proactive influence only?

This does mean that India drafted the 12 point agreement and made the then agitating Nepali leaders, the Indo-pendent ones, to sign the Indian draft, under coercion, for the ouster of Nepali monarchy primarily.

But isn’t it that the Nepali leaders inked the deal voluntarily? A portion of shame should be felt by those who put their signature(s) on the self-defeating deal.

To recall, Saran was insulted by then ruling monarch, perhaps to which he deserved, when the former was in Kathmandu together with Dr. Karan Singh during the ultimate days of the 2006 movement-indeed now could be taken as an India sponsored one.

The King took Dr. Singh to the luncheon table leaving Mr. Saran outside the dining room alone to listen to the ear pleasing sounds of the forks and spoons and smell of the delicious foods.

It was this insult, a blunder indeed, that brought untold sufferings to the Nepali people in general and the King in particular. The ‘wounded lion’ pounced upon Nepali Royalty immediately after his Delhi return which became evident from his hurriedly summoned press meet at the Indian Foreign Ministry. The King was made to enter into the nearby Jungles. After all, Saran was India’s Foreign Secretary.

The same Shyam saran now approves that his country did intervene on the issue of then Nepal Army Chief being sacked by Nepal PM Prachanda on May 3, 2009.

In saying so he does tell that Nepal President acted as per the instructions of the Indian Minister Pranav Mukherjee who told Dr. Yadav, (sic), “Don’t sack him…he is our Military Chief”, and our President back home reinstated the same evening the sacked Nepal Army Chief, Rukmangad Katwal. Nepal PM Prachanda resigned May 4, 2012.

What Kul Bahadur Khadka had said a fortnight back in Naya Patrika daily has come to true. Khadka, the Maoists preferred and appointed Nepal Army Chief whose tenure in office lasted for only five hours, to recall had replaced Katwal.

Doesn’t this mean that Nepal President acts only when he gets the needed instructions from India? This mockery of Nepali State and sovereignty? Theorists John Austin, had he been alive, would have laughed at the distortion of his hypothesis on State and Sovereignty.

By extension this also proves that both Katwal and Dr. Yadav were very close to the Indian establishment. Saran’s assertion proves this.

Expose India campaign this time has best been accomplished by the Indian nationals themselves. Thanks India.

Not bad. After all truth can’t be hidden for long. It is a human weakness.

No wonder thenP. K. Hormis Tharakan, the former RAW Chief in his fresh story published in the Indian Express, Jul 25 2012, has made Himalayan efforts in denuding Nepal Maoist’s people’s war veterans, Chairman Dahal and Babu Ram Bhattarai that these two distinguished Nepali nationals were close to the Indian regime and remain yet faithful towards the former British Colony-the present day Republic of India born 1947.

In support of Chairman Dahal, he even blames his own country that India miscalculated in assessing Chairman Dahal as an anti-Indian to which he was not. Too much love boomerangs.

Hormis claims that Dahal is a pro-India man by stating that it was the latter who managed the ouster of the anti-Indian lobby from his party very recently.

Hormis is perhaps referring to the new splinter of the Maoists party led by Mohan Baidya.  

Hormis out of excitement, as if has won the Nepali battle and already captured Nepali State, forgets that the more he wrote in favor of Dahal and Bhattarai, the more he was exposing his own former surreptitious instruments which is what he claims or at least gives such an impression in his Indian Express article dated July 25, 2012.

Now the question is that whether Saran, Muni and lately Hormis were eulogizing their “trusted men” in Nepal or it was a calculated campaign to discredit their former cohorts? Is India thinking that they now need new horses in Nepal?

Yet the heart of the analysts goes in favor of our own Nepali nationals who have been in a very ugly manner exposed by the Indian veterans of the 2006 Nepal change now controlling Indian secret agencies. Nothing remains a secret now.

To sum up, how the cadres of the Nepal Maoists led by Chairman Dahal will take such dirty exposure of their own party top-hats will perhaps determine the future strength of Mohan Baidya panel which enjoys apparently the secret backing of the entire nationalist forces and more so of the Northern neighbor and that too perhaps unconditionally.

Acute dearth of nationalists. Even if some then they too were impotent. Shame on us all.
