@Anuragi, lets dissect the statement that "India wants unstable Nepal". What are the benefits of unstable Nepal to India? Many people might say that way India can continue to control Nepal. Lets agree with this argument for a moment. However, fortunately the situation of Nepal has changed now. It is a stable country with a burgeoning middle class. Economy is booming. Consumers are buying more products. What does this mean? Nepal is importing more products from India or through India which is also helping Indian economy. After understanding the geography of Nepal, it does not make sense for Nepal to import products from China as long as Nepal can import from India. If Nepal imports from China, Nepali consumers will have to pay more for the same products. Hence, stable and Independent Nepal is beneficial for both India and Nepali people.
On the other hand, stable Nepal may not be as beneficial for the current Nepali politicians. The current Nepali politicians know very well that they wont no longer be able to polarize the country to maintain their power in Nepal. They are using this very old tactic that they learned from the British - "Divide and Rule". If Nepali people get time to think about this, they know that the people will demand for the new and young leadership who has sense of responsibility, who is accountable. The leadership that can meet their social, economic and political needs, and take the country in the forward direction. I respect the current leaders for their fight for democracy, for the rights of their people (jaat). But, I don't see the same drive in them when it comes to work together with other leaders and move the country in the forward direction for the sake of all Nepali people.
