Lipulekh, Nepalese vibes — Delhi political mindset

Since 1962, we have seen leaders & political parties of India ignorant to resolve controversial ‘Maha Kanda’ — I would like to call this kanda ‘the Himalayan Loot, Trade route & River Loot Operation’. This seems disputed territory & controversial issues only to the Indian leaders who create unnecessary conflicts. For Nepal nothing is controversial, indeed truth — Lipulekh belongs to Nepal. Gandhi once said ‘..truth & non violence are as old as the hills’. Same applies here — Kali river, Limpiyadhura, Kalapani, Lipulekh, Susta — all so called disputed territories belongs to Nepal. Lets not recall 10000 years back — semi-agrarian & hunting and gathering era of ‘Akhanda Bharatbarsha’ sentiment. The last battle of Anglo Nepal war was enough to tremor East India Company, the time where only the Himalayan Kingdom dealt somehow better through diplomacy, wits, bravery with local resources & capable to push-back East India Company.

Even the largest expanded geo-political history of India was never in full phase operation whatever every great Rulers had dreamed. India seems a land for everyone — people from worldwide came and passed. Single, though supreme leader often felt difficulties to operate and fulfilled the dream of India. Therefore marginal communities are unable to attain prosperity — irony to see millions of poorest in South Asia. COVID crisis have even exposed the capabilities of leadership and extreme poverty in South Asia, beyond data & media used to hide. We appreciate the hope and progress of India though. Rajdhani Delhi should acknowledge the diversities of India, including diversities in South Asia, & respect the neighborhood. Rajdhani should skip resources greed, Geo based expansionist attitude & better not to create disputes in South Asia.

The history of Nepal is not limited to the evidence of (i) post Anglo-Nepal treaties — the powerful evidence of Lipulekh territories under Nepal, (ii) Prithivi Narayan Shah’s unification, (iii) Mallas, (iv) Lichhavi, (v) Kirats and so on, the history goes back to 2000–3000 thousands years as an unique Himalayan Kingdom. Through all the tough times, including modern political days of Shahs era, Rana regime, glorious Democracy — Shah Monarchy — Panchayat and Maoist revolution, Nepal has reached up to Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Recalling all the political achievements, everyone is proud to be Nepali. At least, India should acknowledge the modern history with East India Company, if not then there’s not much glory of modern days India formed just in last Century.

What is country? For me country is a vibe. We are Nepali, we have Nepalese vibes — this is as simple as I can say about the country. Our Hills whisper in Nepali folks; rivers transfer Nepalese energies; the wind breaths & sing in Himalayan tone; muds smell aroma from Himalayas, deep forest & foot hills and plains are our food baskets — a front doors garden of Nepal.

Lets not insist that everything is same & everyone should be same & everything belongs to Delhi — lets settle Rajdhani’s expansionist Attitude. We, Nepalese love diversities and solidarity as well. Lets respect diversities in South Asia. Lets respect sovereignty of SAARC countries.
