It seems that Indians are more worried about Nepal than we, Nepalese People. This is the view expressed by one of the Member of Parliament in Indian Parliament today which is reported by Times of India Here:



Uproar in Lok Sabha over Tibet unrest

NEW DELHI: The Chinese crackdown on protestors in Tibet created uproar in the Lok Sabha on Monday, with several parties barring the Left expressing concern over the "cultural genocide" in Lhasa.

Members of the BJP, BJD, Samajwadi Party and RJD wanted India to condemn the violence and seek immediate intervention by the United Nations and the main Opposition even walked out.

Responding to the concern by members, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee expressed distress over the "unsettled situation and violence" in Tibet and wanted the causes of trouble in the autonomous region of China to be resolved through dialogue and non-violent means.

He informed the House that the government had already issued a statement in this regard. Raising the issue in Zero Hour, BJP's V K Malhotra alleged that Tibetans were being "massacred" in Lhasa and China was trying to "culturally finish Tibet", even when the Dalai Lama is saying he wanted autonomy and not separation from China.

While Samajwadi Party's Ramjilal Suman wanted government to inform the House about its stand on the 'violation of human rights' in Tibet, BJP's Adityanath claimed if China was not stopped now, it would "annex Nepal and then the Northeastern states."

B Mahtab of the BJP wanted the government to protest the "ethnic cleansing and tell China to exercise restraint and stop cultural genocide."

He also asked the government to press for immediate UN intervention in Tibet. When the Opposition walked out, Mukherjee said the policy on Tibet and China, which was formulated in 1959, remained the same and no government, including NDA, had changed it.

What You think about Chinese Policy towards Nepal? Should we fear more from China than our "friendly" neighbour India?

Don't worry about China annexing Nepal. India will rescue Nepal by making her, their 29th state. And like the current Nepal Govt's "One China Policy", hopefully China will also adopt "One India Policy" to counterbalance eachother. Nepal will be India's, Tibet will be China's. All lives happily ever after.

Yeah that would be very true if we don't take care of these Maoists in Nepal.

Like many others in India, I guess the Indian MPs fail to see that many Nepalese, rightly or wrongly,  feel more threatened by India than China.

On the other hand, for all this talk about China being Nepal's friend, which I think it has been for the most part, where was China when India was strangling our throats with a blockade back in the mid-80s? What did they really do to help us? (assuming there was anything they could do) Clearly we seem to have much more respect and love for China than they do for us. It seems China doesn't really give a poop about Nepal. The fact of the matter is each one of our neighbors is looking out for their own interests and so should we. Both our neighbors pose threats and opportunities. It is for us, in large measure, to decide which we want to exploit.

Just my thoughts.
