This refers to the article, “From open borders to blockades” (October 6) by Atul K Thakur. The crisis has been created in India by those who don’t want strong India-Nepal ties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought to improve ties that had frayed during the previous Government, yet Nepal hastily implemented a Constitution that is unfavourable to almost half of its population. This is problematic for India as the country could face a major refugee crisis if things get worse.
Also, it seems like most Indians want a Hindu monarchy in Nepal. We, the Nepalese people, need to reinstate the amiable Hindu monarchy. The Modi Government should assist in this regard. A Hindu monarchy is the only way out of this mess. It will free Nepal from communist pressures and Chinese intervention.
