N. P. Upadhyaya, Kathmandu: Upon witnessing the deadliest Delhi’s organized violence after the 1984 Sikh genocide, the newly appointed Indian Ambassador to Nepal Bijaya Mohan Quatra has arrived Kathmandu and, as is the practice and in the process which has already become a viceroyal habit, has already begun hinting that is associated with dictation to the Nepal’s signatories of the 12-point agreement of the year 2005-6 that he will not stomach anything that runs against the India’s core interests.
Indians take Nepal as their fiefdom. Ambassador Quatra is here to rule for some good three years. Welcome the new but undeclared King of Nepal. The real King of Nepal at times is seen loitering Delhi to seek blessings, we have been told.
This became evident the manner with which Ambassador Kwatra began meeting Nepali leaders of the 12-point era in haste reminded us all that the days ahead shall be very unfortunate for the Chinese regime and the backers of China or for that matter the US, both in the political and the media sector.
Delhi’s media lobby is a strong and solid entity in Kathmandu.
Many would not believe that a section of the those who have been opposing the US grant assistance, the MCC (Millennium Challenge Corporation) in Nepal are being, claim high placed sources, told to do so by a dark and small chamber of the Indian establishment here somewhere around Lainchour.
The US, for example Ambassador Randy Berry, may not even imagine that such acts could have been planned by Indian regime in Nepal given the kind of “more than affectionate” relations that so happily subsists in between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi at the personal level.
These opponents of the MCC have been taught by some invisible quarters in Kathmandu that the US wants to create troubles not only for China but India as well by being in Nepal.
For the US, they claim, Nepal is the best place from where the US can destabilize both the “rising” powers in Asia-India and China.
But how could the US antagonize India with whom it has too much sound relations which must have taken a new height after the completion of the US President Trump’s freshly concluded India visit?
The fact is that India will not tolerate the US increased influence in Nepal which, as India believes, the MCC would do to what India would love to hate.
Thus for the MCC, not only the Chinese but also the Indian lobby has stood in opposition.
The US may now draw relevant conclusions.
A highly excited President Trump must understand that India, the former ally pf the now dissolved USSR can never be its friend in truest sense of the term as the US President must be told by some prominent South Asian leaders as to what India means to these smaller countries that unfortunately adjoin the Indian borders?
Coming to the new Indian Ambassador Binaya Mohan Katara, one fails to understand that why he was in such a hurry that he rushed to meet India’s trusted and tested allies of the India sponsored and engineered great Revolution of the year 2005-6 that ended favoring the Indian planned designs.
He should have first breathed fresh Oxygen freely available in Kathmandu valley as of now.
No but he had some plans under his sleeves.
This needs deep analysis. Look the persons Ambassador Kwatra has met immediately upon his landing in the new but undeclared protectorate that is Nepal, it is highly presumed by the Kathmandu’s political circuit.
He met with Madhab Kumar Nepal-the presumed chameleon of the Nepali politics.
Mr. Nepal is the one who had forwarded an insulting proposal during early 1990s suggesting his UML party to “invite” Indian military in order to tame the then ruling King Birendra.
Later Madan Bhandari told Mr. Nepal that, “Good or bad, Birendra is our King…we can deal with him in a different manner and thus no need to invite foreign military forces”.
Thus the threat of the Indian military’s intervention in Nepal was averted.
He then met Sher bahadur Deuba-the appendage of the Nepali Congress party as seen by his own party-leaders and cadres.
Deuba is the one who “apologized” in front of PM Modi that he was unable to amend the Nepal Constitution as per the “instructions of New Delhi”.
Deuba made this apology while as Nepal Prime Minister he had visited New Delhi. (The video clip is also available in the social media).
Late lady Minister Swaraj offered a sweltering and trembling Deuba with a glass of cold water while Deuba was apologizing. PM Modi had then reasons to smile looking at the “compelling” honesty of Deuba who is taken as an India man though not substantiated yet.
He met also the Nepal Foreign Minister, the elevated Pradip Kumar Gyawali who remains in a terrified state (observers claim) as and when he confronts the Indian Ministers or for that matter the Ambassadors.
But he is, let’s admit, a modest personality.
Fortunately, Minister Gyawali has never entered into a college for acquiring a degree of sorts.
Once elevated is in itself a degree in Nepal.
This is only but natural say those who understand the Nepali politics and the process in which since the early 1950s, it is being handled by “alien” forces across the border. IN fact, the Kathmandu posted Indian Ambassadors do the entire jobs that are to be handled by nepali authorities. This way India and Nepal have intimate ties with each other.
Ambassador Kwatra’s excitement and his alacrity in meeting the Indo-pendent Nepali leaders (better say the Shyam saran crafted/drafted Nepal damaging 12 point political animals) does hint that he is in a hurry to “materialize” to what Madame Indira Gandhi had envisioned for Nepal as back as in the early seventies which later had been subscribed by R.K Yadav-the retired RAW Chief.
Mr. Yadav has said in his book that after the swallowing up of Sikkim, it was the turn of Nepal to annex and make it the new provincial state of the Indian Republic which herself came out of the British slavery in 1947.
The British India company, if time allows, would do well if she makes a grand comeback and eats present day India like a New Year cake as she did it for centuries.
The Mughals are also welcome if so they wish. If it is Babar-the Emperor from FARGANA village (Central Asia) then he is most welcome.
Ambassador Quatra met all those whom India wants to lure and finally seduce for the maximum benefits to the colony of the former British India Company, if the present day India recalls its horrible past.
It appears that the new Indian envoy wants to “finish” the “unfinished” jobs of Madame Indira Gandhi. Thanks Nepal has Lendhup Dorjes galore.
For example, he met with the defense minister, the energy minister, the Vice president who had a comfortably stint in NOIDA, Delhi during the fake people’s war days, and he apparently achieved in a day or two what India wants from Nepal.
He met with the new Speaker of the House, Prachanda’s choice Mr. Agni Sapkota and told him to dilly-dally the Kalapani proposal from being discussed inside the House.
Reports say that Speaker Sapkota has been ordered by Prachanda not to entertain the kalapani proposal from being discussed.
Ambassador Quatr reportedly ordered Prachanda to admonish Speaker Sapkota, it is reported.
By the way, he must have sounded to all the leaders he met in haste that “Keep China and the USA at a distance” or else face the grave consequences, for example, a yet another economic blockade in which the former Colony has gained the expertise.
However, the fact is that China is already here and has a grand presence in Nepal which India and its men in shade and in open also can’t terrify the emerging super power.
The fact is also that the US and China, despite of the rivalry of its own kind amongst themselves, have intimate ties with each other meaning there by that both these two Supra Giants need each other to control the global politics.
The Ambassador at times while meeting the Nepali leaders, though India elevated, presented himself as the “boss” sent by Delhi to tame the ruling elites of Nepal which, if so, then must have reminded his hosts that they were all made by India, for India and thus have to work for India.
Ambassador Quatra has arrived Kathmandu close on the heels of the “State Organized Delhi Violence” that rocked entire India to some extent and jolted the Indian Capital extensively to a scale and magnitude that the Hindu-Muslim great and grand divide has now become a permanent feature.
Like it or not, the fact is that the minority Muslims now have got justification as to why Mohd. Ali Jinnah had advanced the theory of a separate Nation-State for the Muslims-that has now emerged as Pakistan finally and is in existence since seven decades.
Now that the Ambassador is just in town observing the skill on how to create sectarian violence so let’s carefully register and keep on record his activities in order to maintain cordiality and harmony of the Nepali nationals from East to West and North to South.
Nepali Hindus live in harmony with the Christians and the Muslims and have lived for long sans any untoward incident(s) which is conversely a regular phenomenon in neighboring India.
Before anything untoward incident happens in Nepal, Nepali authorities must warn modestly but very frankly the nearly “aggressive” Ambassador to stay away from acts that foment troubles or sow seeds of conflict among the peaceful population of Nepal.
The Nepalese nationals though would be watching his activities for sure.
The Indian envoy is yet to meet in private some special leaders. The Nepali politics will take a different shape when he meets the special set of Nepali leaders.
