I always get this huge temptation to write when there is some politican “uthalputhal’ in Nepal. Call me critical or politically inclined I have my own say for the much talked Modi visit to Nepal.

Couple of months back when Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of India, I had written a thread about how he has his agenda’s set and what all he did for the state of Gujarat when he was the Chief Minister. Even then also I said this is a man of agendas and ambition. Having such a visionary leader, India still has a lot of problems to be solved. It is not a days or a week’s work that it will drastically change and all the problems are solved.

Similarly when he was in Nepal, he made sure that his presence is felt in a positive way. Trust me, this guy is very smart. He did his home work thoroughly and indeed I am impressed. He is the first dignitary to address the House of Parliament of Nepal, after the restoration of Democracy in Nepal. It is definitely very flattering to see him address the house in Nepal, and all the MPs and the crowd watching the live telecast were wowed when he started his speech in Nepali. But how many of us have questioned the agenda behind it?

Is he trying to impress and woe the people of Nepal? Is he really a friend to Nepal? What will India benefit from this visit? He said he is not only going to generate electricity but also buy it from Nepal and not take it for free, is there any hidden clauses that we don’t see? There are a lot of unanswered questions buzzing around.

I see a sudden change in attitude of most of the Nepali people. Suddenly they have this soft corner for the Indians. Dhoti term has changed into Friend. Honestly it will only take another statement by one of the Indian people and then we will have all bandhs and hadtals in the protest of it. Going a little deeper, it looks like a big brother giving lollipop to his younger sibling and taking away his toys and stuff. And this younger brother is happy with the lollipop.

No I am not being cynical but just analysis which our politicians lack at times. Even their own advisors (baristha Sallakars) can see it but I guess in a long term there is not much Nepal can do on its own. If he is man of his words and gives the support of 10000 crores and buys the electricity from Nepal, hopefully we will be progressing on the footsteps of Bhutan.

By the way the funny part is , Mr. Prime Minister of India had promised so much, and had given so much of sugar talks and there is this bunch of people who could only hear Buddha was born in Nepal CONFIRMED and argue on the fact that Nepal is not a state of India….How insecure can we get than this??

Well put Ambi ! What can we say more about the nation where politicians fight for gangsters rather than for people and their needs.

….How insecure can we get than this??
u nailed it bro. we have identity crisis;lets say it straight!!! how would you define nepal without buddha and mt everest(both just geographical coincidences actually)?thaats where this insecurity regardingbuddha and nepal being part of india comes from.

We are so insecure about our self that we need Mount Everest and Lord Buddha to represent. When will we be able to say I am Nepali and do not have to say that I am from the country where Buddha was born or I am from the country where Mt. Everest is. I am sick of those words saying to people. It is sick. Does Indians have to say that they are from the country where Taj Mahal is? Why do only we have to say something to represent our self. When will the day come when I can just say I am Nepali.

Action speaks louder than words. I'm just waiting for things to happen, till then me and millions of my other compatriots don't have words to say. He could be yet another sweet talker. Future shall reveal the truth. Let's wait his tenure to go by, and then we talk, okay?

Daum and shiva_linga thank you so much for reading and putting positive encouragements.
Gone crazy its fine that we introduce ourselves with the geographical benefits we have..... but still why make such fuss about Buddha was born in Nepal......we all are born in Nepal....why dont we be 100s of buddha of this generation? Hoina ta

Bittertruth,
I am sure he will do a lot for India but I wanna see what all he will do for Nepal after giving all sweet talks.....and yes we shall talk;)

Ambrosia,
He is the PM of India, he will obviously try to do a lot for India. But, that does not mean 'doing good for india comes with a cost to its neighbors'.

I am optimistic in a sense that " India is willing to change its attitude from being 'big brother' to 'elder brother' ", which was a said by a source knowledgeable in PMO in Delhi. If it is infact true then that will be something.

मोदी ले 'नेपाल एक सर्भाभौम मुलुक हे ' भनेर भासन गर्दा साम्सद हरुले ताली ठोक्दैमा , सबै नेपाली मोदीको गुलियो मा रमाए भन्न मिल्दैन | आजकल opinion article राम्रो लेखेर प्रकासित गर्ने धेरै छन् , सेमी-प्रबुद्दा वर्ग पनि गुलियो मानेर रमाएका रैचन भने पनि तेस्ता लेख ले educate गर्छन नै |

१०००० करोड ऋण लिन कुनै डर मान्नु पर्दैन | मैले अर्को थ्रेड मा लेखे जस्तै savings to capital formation to (and) investment चर्क्र चलायमान नभएको अबस्थामा 3-४ बाट मेगा प्रोजेक्ट मा खर्च गर्ने गरि तेस्तो ऋण लियो भने राम्रै हुन्छ |

अनि सबै कुरा खत्तम मात्र भयो भन्ने सोच्नु हुन्न | हाम्रै PM मा पनि एकदम राम्रो मान्छे छन् (अम्बी लाइ यो मन पर्दैन होला, :)), गर्नु पर्ने नियुक्ति हरु चाडो गर्न नसकेको बाहेक अरु सबै राम्रो छन् यी बुदाको ) | भारतीय दुताबासको साखा कार्यालय हटाउने र दुताबास ले सिधै योजना बाड्ने कुरा रोक्नु पर्चा भन्ने कुरामा सर्बदलिय सहमति बनौन लागेका छन् | नेपाल जस्तो सानो देशले रिजनल सुपर पावर संग सबै कुरा टाट ततै गर्न पनि त गारो छ |

nepali laure thank you so much for your comment......lol.....Maile arko thread my Modi ko bare ramrai lekheko chhu.....ma cynical bhayeko hoina....tara mero concern is how do we nepali will cash on the proposals he has given us.....I know he had done all he had promised in Gujrat... maybe that is the reason why the expectations started growing a midst people.
I am a very hopeful person that if he does what he had promised for Nepal, I will be super duper happy. What if he doesnt.....do we have a back up plan?
I am sorry I am not much aware of the division of the funds and how the capital will be invested or used....so I will not comment on that :)
I think Nepal should accept that it will need to collaborate with the big pillars around and then build its own pillar strong....if you know what I mean!

about the Modi personality , सुनियोजित भए पनि बाटोमा सर्बसधर्ण संग भेट्ने , नेपाली मा भासन गर्ने , अनि भारत बाहिर पनि हिन्दि मात्र बोल्ने निर्णय गर्ने --- जस्ता stunt बाजी गरेको ले statesman नभएपनि वोर्ल्ड leader हुन सक्ने सम्भावना चै छ है यिनमा | आखिर भारतमा देखिने गरि सुसशन र चीन Pakistan संग सम्भंदा सुधार गर्न सके भने त निकै हुन्छ नि |

Garchan hola.....I have read about how he shifted Tata Nano factory from West bengal to Gujrat and gave work to 5000 people....j sukai hosh waha ho niti...akhir ma unka Gujrat le unnati gareko dekhiyo!!!
Gujrat ko stratregy le India banaune soch cha hola...lets see....!!!

भारतको सहयोगी नीति अनि नेपालको अन्तरिक मामलामा हस्तछेप कम हुनु हाम्रो लागि शुभ सूचक कुरा हुन् |1 बिलियन ऋण सहयोगले मात्र नेपालको कायाकल्प हुने वाला छैन |
आज सम्म नेपालले पाएको सहयोग को बर्तमान मुद्र मूल्य राजा महेन्द्र देखि २०१३ सम्म को हिसाब गरेका छौ ? हामि भस्मासुर हौ. जहा छोयो तेही नास हुने ?
नगदी सहयॉग दिएर भएन भनि बनाइदिएका उद्योग धन्दाहरु के के भए ? सुनेको उदयपुर सिमेन्ट कारखाना राम्ररी चलिरहेको थियो : भारतीय सिमेन्ट कम्पनीले करोडौ घुस ख्वाए अनि बिग्रिएको अवस्था देखाई बन्द गर्ने अबस्थामा पुर्याए | हवाई यातायात , हरियो बस कर्मचारी करोडपति बस ठण्डा राम ! के के को नाम दिऊ ?

बिलियन पाउदैमा आफै केहि हुँदैन : के हाम्रा योजनाकारले समय सापेक्षको योजना बनाऊँन सक्छन ? के हामी संग बिल्लियाँन डलर हाइड्रो बनाउने प्राबिधिकहरु छन् ? यो कथा सबैले सुन्नु भएको होला | एउटा आमाले अपांग छोरीलाई बाचुन्जेल स्याहार सुसार गरिन | आमा स्वर्ग बास पछि २- ४ दिन छिमेकीले हेरे ,सधै आमा जस्तो भएन | बिस्तारै आफै जमर्को गर्न लागिन. बाच्ने इच्छा शक्ति संगै घिस्रीन सुरु गरिन र पछि स्वाबलम्बी हुन् सकेको कथाले के पुस्ठि गर्छ भने हामि पनि स्वाबलम्बी बन्ने दिशा तिर कहिले लाग्ने ?

के अर्थकै कमिको करणले देश पछाडी परेको हो ?
हामि संग छयास छ्यास्ती पैसा छ : बार्षिक ४०० अरब रुपैंया रेमिट्यान्स भित्य्राउछौ |
२०-३० सरकारी बण्ड बेचेर पनि बिद्युत योजना सुरु गर्न सकिन्थ्यो |
युबा जनता बिदेसगएका छन्, के हामि संग चाहिदो म्यानपावर छ ? इट्टा गारो लगाउने देखि ........................... आदि इत्यादि गर्न मान्छे भेट्टिदैन तर बेरोजगारी को संख्या धेरै छ | खेतीपाती गर्ने को सख्या पनि कम भै सक्यो |
हामि नेपालि अल्छी छौ अरुले गरिदेला र खाउला भन्ने साढेको पछाडी लागेको स्याल जस्तै |

The core problem of Nepal : Budaa Netaa Gaadi ma....Jawaan Keta Khadii ma.

Magorkhali1,
Thank you so much for throwing light and getting more details....everyone is entitled to have their own opinion...i am not cynical yet not very optimistic about the intention....Time will tell how far and how successful this will happen.

Wiz,

Ambrosia,
I also didn't knew it until I read wonderful modi-fying and its effects but after finishing reading it,giving a round of a thought in the subject in quick second,that's what came up :P.....that doesn't mean I am telling amiss...just in jest.

A person who get's assisted all the time will never learn to do anything himself/herself. I have seen this personally among kids of rich parents who never had to raise a finger to get things done because it was done for them. When time came to do something by their own, they had no idea where and how to start.
Same is true for Nepal. Nepalese leaders always find ways to ask for grants and loans from other countries. Thus they never learn to do anything for the country.

Hurray i think from the private sectors there are some reforms thats happening but again in snail pace......:)

Alias_ did u rate this as B? Lol
