My sentiments harmonize with that of kiddo, for people who have never been to India, have never understood Indians, or do not understand the geo-politics and socio-economics clearly, they would always consider India as our arch nemesis. Those are the same type of individuals who support Donald Trump in America - the right wing jingoists, who blame everything on Mexican and Muslims at the drop of the hat and preserve their gun trotting American pride.

I would like to believe we elite Nepalese are at least better than that.

There are some Indians who are oblivious about Nepal’s existence, only because they are struggling to find their own among a population of more than a Billion. We Nepalese take pride to highlight that with as a threat to our sovereignty with emotions oh so high, wish we took pride in any endeavors that would make us better than India.

Modi is a hardliner, he wants Nepal as the only Hindu nation in the world. He is Islam hating, Hinduism espousing purest conservative of all, and his agenda is to make Nepal his ally, subserviently so, to throw its weight in a subcontinent when Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, China and Sri Lanka, all, have, more or less proven to be an adversaries. Glad it backfired.
RAW has its own agenda, just like ISI, CIA, Mossad and other few intelligence agencies that wants to secure its border first and then encroach into their neighbors, or at least have an ulterior motive on their well-being. This is nothing new and we hate RAW alright.

Now there were few other visionaries, the likes of Ballab bhai Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, Nehrus’ clan who wanted to expand India’s borders and engulf neighboring nations, they succeeded with Sikkim, but Nepal was a whole different story.

What I mentioned above gives us all good reasons to hate India, doesn’t it?

But wait a second, because they do not comprise India, they are only one small sect of the population that has their own hidden agenda that wants to bully us. All others do not have time to even think about us, let alone hate us. Leaders of Janata dal, Samajwaadi party, even some leaders of Congress, poets and artists, scholars and professors and common indian denizens fondly consider us as brothers who share similar creed and culture.

Sadly we only like to listen what fuels our hate mongering self the best, and like I mentioned, which makes our emotions run high.

Only because some lawmakers are pushing our button doesn’t make an entire India our enemy, if that were true we would be thinking like zealots like Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh, who want to eliminate every muslim from the face of the earth.

If you want to argue, kindly reply in my other thread. I struggle to write in English, I can get my point across more effectively in Nepali. :)
