i myself am a very optimistic person.

but i think indian takeover of nepal is inevitable, whether in my lifetime or the next. it's just a matter of time.

well, nepal may not be rich in oil (current energy resource), but very very rich in future resources - hydro, wind and nuclear. west nepal is one of the richest deposits of uranium, but nepal is too far behind in technology to exploit it - and by any means, the chinese, the indians and the west aren't going to help us in any way to mine them. hydro - we all know about that. wind - the dolpo and mustang region gets wind gusts almost every moment, and the region is isolated and huge for any wind projects. there are wind turbines that produces 5mw each.

i think any country's forceful take over will certainly be stopped by other countries. however, we might just ask the indian government to enter the country, to which the west and the chinese won't be able to do anything.

nepal is militarily very strategic country. we have mountains made of granite. any borrows made within cannot be seen by any modern technology. the best place for hiding anything. just like the chinese are doing in tibet.

so, my take is that we should just focus on the new development. i think the parliament's declaration is illegal. the change of system should have been promulgated after the election of CA or refferendum. i don't think any of the SPA (except MKN), will accept it because of what happened in 2036. so CA it is, so we must and should wait for the CA to form and then declare and endorse republic. but, i think the policy makers should understand federal republic before making nepal one.
