By no means I am expert on this subject matter. This is my analysis on how the world probably is looking at Nepal crisis. To fully understand this we need to first know how the modern India was formed. When British left India in 1947, Indian union was formed. The Indian union integrated princely states into the existing provinces. In 1950 the new constitution made India a sovereign democratic republic and declared the new republic to be a "Union of States". The states were formed. After the movement for creation of linguistic based states, some states were restructured along the linguistic lines. India is a very diverse country - culturally, linguistically, religiously and ethnically. That's why the world calls India - a subcontinent. Now lets get back to the blockade. The blockade is a big problem for Nepal. I can feel for my relatives, friends and all people who are going through this hardship right now. This blockade is really taking a toll on people living in Nepal. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to live without a basic energy - gas to cook food. However, "Jaatiyeta" is a much bigger problem for India than Nepal. India is a home to many ethnicities and tribes. If we look at the history, there are more than few ethnic movements in India since its inception. It is very important to the government of India to stand for equal rights for all people from all ethnicity in the new constitution of Nepal. This stand is important for their own existence. Already many tribes in India are fighting to have their own state or to be an independent country. Also, I think the Nepal government gave this golden opportunity to PM Modi as a gift to show Indian people that his government will stand for each and every Indian regardless of their ethnicity, religion or language. I got a little fond of PM Modi and did a little research on him myself. I think that he had made his intentions very clear from Gujrat inciden that He is not going to buy into any "sampradayik danga". I think his policy is to eradicate this religious and ethnic conflicts through economic development. He even said that he is from "nichli jaati" during his prime ministerial campaign. That's why I think that it is time for the Nepal government to understand this and treat this Madesh unrest as an internal problem as they should have treated this from the very beginning. I think that the Nepali politicians are also escalating the Madesh problem for few votes in the next election by using nationalistic sentiments of the Nepali people. It was the Nepal government's responsibility to keep peace in Nepal, and also now it is the Nepal government's job to solve the country's foreign affairs. Even the Nepal government is taking advantage of this increasing anti-Indian sentiments in Nepal to hide their weakness and failure to solve this impending situation. Politics of sentiments is old school. Sentiments will start to fade away as the reality will come to the surface. I think that the Nepali people would want to see the results now. And, the most important thing is the Nepali people voted for the Nepali government, not PM Modi, so the Nepali people should raise and direct their questions to the Nepali government. Please don't give them a free pass. They can't just have a cake and eat it too. I hope this Madesh situation will get resolve peacefully. Otherwise, we know how the Europe was before the second world war. They were always fighting with each other.
