Here is a column from NY based CJ Thapa, who appears to be quite critical in his elaboration. Its nice to see columnist like Mr. Thapa who would think first and draw later.

Few excerpts...

“....Many also feel that India has practiced a dominating and destabilizing policy when it comes to the internal affairs of its weaker neighbouring states. Moreover, there are many Nepalis who believe that India is looking for an opportune moment to repeat the Sikkim-like conquest with Nepal.”

“Regardless of India's understanding of such dynamics, however, Indian intent vis-à-vis Nepal has been ambiguous and difficult to speculate. While remaining mute over the Bhutanese autocracy, the authoritarian government of Maldives and even supporting the dictatorial junta of Burma and Bangladesh, India's interest in restoration of democracy in Nepal looks awkward and sinister.”

“What is even more sinister is the Indian policy of supporting the Maoists, the political parties and to a certain extent even the monarchy. It is no secret that while on one hand India had declared the Maoists as terrorists even before Nepal did, India was surreptitiously playing host to the Maoist leadership through most of the insurgency years. Also, it was only after the Indian nod of approval that the Monarch took charge from the political parties. But on the other hand, it was India that brokered a deal between the parties and the Maoists and then abetted their alliance to oust the Monarch from power. Even more strangely, one of the reasons why the current ruling alliance has been unable to completely abolish the monarchy can be attributed to the Indian nay.”

If you want all...
