He is reported to have told BBC Nepali Service few days later that India could intervene if Kathmandu were to be threatened although no such situation had yet developed. (Janamancha, 26/12/04) Any such possible intervention would be by air or by commando. This was exactly what the fourth scenario in the scenario analysis presented in Delhi seminar had projected at a time when the situation would get out of control- From today's TKP. Let me add something else here: Regime change in tdoay's world is not only due to bargaining between the political forces within any country. Of course bargaining and consensus is one major factor, but you cannot just dismiss the neighboring countries' or even super-powers' interests in that country. It is both an internal bargaining process and international support for that bargaining process based on interests. Our 1990 democracy was supported by India, otherwise there wouldn't have been any regime change. If you believe that revolutions are internal process then you are wrong. Revolutions and regime changes are international process. I mentioned Gandhi's contribution to free India. Gandhi united the people but it wasn't the only reason India became independent. When Frankilin Delano Roosevelt and Churchill were talking about American participation and help in the World War II, Roosevelt, who was against colonilization told Churchill to grant India independence after the end of the war. So you see, how internal and international factors are responsible for the transitions or regime changes in the world. And sorry to break this down to you, Nepal's neighbors and freinds want the monarchy to stay, for their own reasons. If you want the American policy on Nepal and India to change, start writing to the senators and powerful lobbies in America, India, UK and everywhere.
