#backoffindia is now most trending topic in Nepal twitterosphere . Many might assume this is Nepal being China's pet and anti-India , but this is far from truth. Here is why Nepalese are trending #backoffindia :
1. Modiji's envoy Jaishanker being sent at last minute to halt constitution drafting process.
Nepal after 8 yrs of political deadlock finally drafted constitution by majority. On Sept 18 , Nepal's major political parties Nepal Congress, UML, Maoist ,Pro monarch (RPP) and various others small parties jointly announced formulagalation of Constitution drafting process. They announced 7 days after i.e. On Asoj 3rd B.S. , Honourable President Ram Baran Yadav would officially draft constitution of Nepal.
PM Modi's envoy to Nepal came 2 days before The official constitution drafting ceremony and advised or ordered politicians to halt constitution drafting process and include the dissatisfied groups in talks.
2. India wants Nepal to draft constitution with 100% consensus. :
The dissatisfied groups are Madhesi parties whose politcs hover around plains of Nepal. They had a humiliating defeat in last election. They have less than 20 representatives out of 601 CA members of Nepal. Other dissatisfied groups are small monarch parties, indigenious parties etc.
Friends, this constitution of Nepal is most democratic constitution ever because it managed to get more than 90% of CA members approval. First time ever in history of world. India itself while drafting constitution only managed to garner only about 67% approval from its CA members. Now friends, do you think 100% approval in any political issues is possible? Then imagine this is whole constitution of more than 300 article being written , how can any country draft it with absolute 100% concensus like India advised us to.
Big parties were continuosly sending invitation to Madhesi parties to stop vandalism and come to talks which they denied. Even the constitution writing process was halted for 2 days after it started and invitation were sent to them for talks. They denied any talks.
3. India advised Nepal to include few points in its constitution and if not done so India indirectly threatened blockade. This is what India advised. :
a. To allow Nepali citizens after naturalization to become PM, president or have higher posts in country. Friends, will India ever allow Sonia Gandhi to become prime minister of India? Only thing thats stopping her is the fact that she is Indian citizen by naturalization .BJP's foreign minister Sushma swaraj herself threatened to go bald if Sonia Gandhi ever becomes prime minister of Nepal. And how can current Indian government advise us to do so.
B. To have representatives in parliament according to population but not both population and geography.
What India and Nepal both has is to have representatives in parliament according to both population and geography. For eg. Sparsely populated sikkim , mizoram gets atleast 1 and heavily populated Bihar has around 30 ( numbers might be not exact) representatives. This is worldwide norm. So, how can India threaten to blockade if we don't go by world norm. Why can India have representatives according to both population and geography where as Nepal needs to have reprsentatives just according to population?
C. If you look at the federal map of Nepal, it is Pradesh 2 and Pardesh 4 which r disssatified. Pradesh 2 wants 3 more districts under it which Pradesh 1 wants too. The population there are however fine with being Pradesh 1. The strike, vandalization in those 3 districts of Pradesh 1 is much less , except in very few 2-3 places. Here people in Pradesh 2 are killing, buring policeman, vandalizing, creating terror for not having 3 districts of pradesh 1, but those 3 districts are comparatively quiet.
Same is with Pradesh 4. However government needs to address Pradesh 4 because a large population of their ethnicity live in 2 districts of pradesh 6 which is not same with Pardesh 2.
Pradesh 2 has its well defined cluster. But a part of cluster of pradesh 4 lies in pradesh 6 .
VS Gorkhaland :
What is happening is Nepal : darjeeling is happy being under w. bengal but sikkim wants darjeeling under it , do u think in such case Anyone should be pressurized to keep darjeeling under sikkim? NO. But thats what India is doing.
Here in gorkhaland, despite having support from almost all the locals, India isnt listening to them but here in Nepal they are advising otherwise and even threatening.
You can see friends India bullied us this time to have something in our constitution that even India doesnt believe in.
India believes in being democratic country, but 90%+ approval from CA members was not democratic enough. Likewise I have mentioned various other points too.
Here is my suggestion : Modiji has capacity to become one of the most influential leader of the world but threatening a small, sovereign neighbour for blockade if what India advised werent meet isnt democracy. This will give a very negative bad image of Modiji .
MOdiji should stay away from Indian beuraucrats working in Nepal if he is to be again loved and liked by us. We welcomed him whole heartedly when he was in Nepal for the first time and will prefer to do so again and again. But modiji used most non democratic way to threaten the most democratic process after listening to most corrupt , unproffesional bureaucrats of Indian embassy.
