why do you think that the palace has to sell something in order to get Indian support. It is in India's best interest to have a calm and quiet neighbour. Don't you look for a quiet neighbourhood when looking for an apartment? All that aid suspension and other acts were to show the world. Indian politicians are shrewd mofos. They wanna make friends with the strongest in nepal. WHo is the strongest in nepal right now? If a few hundred thousand nepalis had taken to the streets against the king, the situation would be different and India's loyalties would be different as well. All other countries (maybe besides England) will follow India's lead when it comes to their foreign policy towards Nepal. Just wait and watch how everyone will start smiling towards nepal after india's ashirvaad. There is no selling anything. People do what is best for them. This is what India is doing. All King G sold to Manmohan Singh is the fact that the medicine maybe bitter but it has potential to work. Lets see how it folds out. I remember MM Singh's 9 month defiance of India and I remember Koirala/Bhattarai's 9 years ass licking of India. No more selling. No pimps are running the country now. Give it a little more time. Once emergency rule is lifted, aid starts coming in, people decide not to die for maoist leaders anymore, and it'll all be good. atleast until the time when once again blood is needed to cleanse the system. its inevitable.
