Lots of talks about Himalayan Marshal Plan of India. According to what I have read till now: Under the plan India is willing to spend as much as Rs. 12 billion in Nepal. This is a completely different plan from the regular Indian assistance. India is defending its Nepal plan arguing as democratic polity cannot sustain without economic development, India has realized its responsibility towards Nepal to sustain and stabilize democratic system in Nepal. I think we should wait and see what the iceberg looks like, we have just seen the tip of it. I believe we need to suspect india for all its 'Desi Mentality' I know how India can decieve (looking from its past). But hey whats worng in listening to what it wants to offer and in return of what? I know the people in the center like Manmohan singh would not want to add one more headache to its list. and above all Nepal has been a lot of headache to india due to immigration, and other geopolitical issues. India wants to make nepal not rich but just 'Self Sufficient' so that it wants to deal with other issues. India in the last decade has gained such momentum that the mere influence in nepal 'So CONSIDERED BY NEPALESE AS A GREAT POLICY' merely is matter of no importance. It is a Global Super power, it does not want to make its image bad by having a failed state by its side. Just take it as if you become a millionare then you would obviously throw a shirt or two at your dying neighbour. Just to make hood look good in front of others. I believe its not more than throwing a shirt at your dying neighbour. India has gone into such pace that issues like Nepal no longer interests it. It just wants to make nepal self suffieient such that it will now have to bear any headaches for such petty matters. I though being ashame of the same. I would prefer to see what india has to offer because 20 billion dollars just to build the infrastructure is not a joke for nepal. We nepalese are just Loud, no brains, coz had we had brains we would not have been struggling till now, we would have done atleast something rather than pull each other's leg or criticize the two super powers beside us, ourselves being the poorest coountry in the world. If at all brains then how to bag the government money, the Home Minister has not been in office for a week and has started appearing in the headlines for corruption, Girija Dhamija, man its frustrating to become a Nepali... Uwwwaaaa. uwaaa... , snob snob ......
