didn't that help us getting democracy? well i agree with you india has done so many things unfavorable to nepal. BUT it didn't happen because they want us to suffer. it happened because they have a policy of their own which is designed for the betterment of their country. i do not expect them to do any thing for us. we are quite capable of doing things for our country. but alienating ourselves from anyone is not going to solve the problem. we need india's help to topple the monarchy or at least get democracy. after that we will push for things that are good for our country they will push for what is good for their country and so on.
