India may militarily intervene in Nepal to prevent state failure

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Since a shocking regicide put him in charge of Nepal’s destiny in June 2001, Gyanendra’s burning desire to restore royal absolutism has consistently outpaced his judgment on the prospects for his own survival or the collective interests of his country.

[...]

... domestic backing for Gyanendra has long evaporated. As he sought to dominate Nepal, Gyanendra was faced with two opponents — the political parties who wanted restoration of constitutional rule and Maoists who demanded abolition of the monarchy. By trying to divide the political parties and playing the fool with the Maoists, Gyanendra achieved the impossible of getting both opponents together on one platform.

[...]

In the last few years, much of the world, including the United States and the European Union have waited for India to take the lead on Nepal and agreed to coordinate their policies with those of New Delhi. If India holds back, other powers would soon begin to act on their own.

If India does not act immediately, the ground situation — worsening by the day — would compel India to consider more drastic remedies in the future. That could include military intervention to prevent state failure in Nepal.

[...]

If Gyanendra comes to terms with reality, a purely ceremonial monarchy might yet have a place in Nepal’s future. If he can’t, India must be prepared for a republican Nepal.

The author means Nepal may become a Republic and India will have to be ok with that. Historically, they've supported the monarchy but the Nepalese monarchy isn't what it used to be.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Security forces opened fire on anti-king protesters in south Nepal town on Monday, killing one and wounding five more, a local administrator said.

Details were still sketchy about the shooting at Nijgadh, 75 miles south of the capital, Katmandu, but the official who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the casualty.

The shooting was the fifth time in recent days security forces have opened fire on demonstrators protesting against King Gyanendra's rule.

When will India and Pakistan nuke each other? I'm tire of waiting.

Won't happen.

No matter how much the Western media tries to portray countries in that region as too crazy to handle nukes, that's just not the fact. India and Pakistan will never have a nuclear exchange.
