you are right heartbeat..............it is rather a shame to see how criminals from across the border can get in and out without being penalized.........well the reality is when these cowards attacked they caught the Nepalese by surprise and dispersed them and systematically hunted them ............Lets try again........lets say angry Nepalese crowd waiting for these mobs to come............what would have been the out come???? The only sad thing is that this went on for what a long time ......and the goverment never sent any security forces to the affected area................when the government were fully aware of the carnage going on.................I believe that Nepal is a ball of fire and India is going to be burnt by this fire if not now but sooner.......All these dirty politics will have a terrible outcome for the victems.....like you said the women will take arms..........you see  the  government has turned a blind eye to these events..but there was a heavy impact on thousands of lives who fled to millitary camps where the millitary were waiting for orders that came well too late.............People will judge this momment and are now scarred for life with this event.....they have lost faith in this government......and theoffering of meagre couple of thousand rupees is not going to fulfill any life long scars......arent they even ashamed to face these victims and offer them money for their tragic losses????? the more I think the more Mad I get and even madder when I cant do anything about and those who can do something about wont do it .......and the only who I think can and will do something is powerless.......What a sad situation..................................
