"While the restrictions could be lifted on Saturday itself, it will take some time to return to normal flow of supplies to Nepal," Nepal's Ambassador to India, Deep Kumar Upadhayay said.

This is proof that India was behind the blockade. What a shame!!

A senior Nepali diplomat based in Kolkata, rather uncharacteristically, issued a veiled threat to India on Friday, stating that his country “would not hesitate to update the bigger powers in the region about the situation” if Delhi kept mounting pressure on Kathmandu.

Keep off Nepal affairs, diplomat tells India - The Hindu

And all these time, India deny this blockade. What a liar country.

The biggest issue with India is that it overestimates it's own strength, it acts bigger than it actually is. No doubt they lifted this blockade so as to contain the damage that's already occurred to Indian influence in Nepal.

Nepal, on the other hand, has learned that it can no longer just sit by and let Indian influence consume Nepal. It will probably look to diversify itself, and invite other regional powers to invest in it's country, so that it's reliance on India decreases.

Don't be too surprised if Nepal sends trade delegations to other nations.

Many Indians already regard Napal as an Indian state. If India ever invade Nepal, they will just call it a police action. Just like India invasion of Hyderabad and Goa.

RSS-Hindutva/BJP agenda is to have a Hindoo Rastra aka Akhand Bharat

Vigilance - Pakistan, China, Nepal, Tamilnadu need to destroy these destructive forces

Actually India underestimates its own strength. A country that has 18% of world population should have far more power that it has now.

As on Nepal, Nepal is free to do whatever it wants except that it should not jeopardize India's security.

This news is not reliable at all. According to the newspaper this news is from a source in Nepali ministry of External affairs.
Even though there are news that were published after this news article that Nepal is turning to UN to resolve this issue.
Why would Nepal turn to UN if they know India has "officially lifted the blockade".

 

[Dem!god]

Nepalis are free to move on to higher powers..
But once that done..they shd not expect anything from us...

This is not about of overestimation of strength.
MEA acts because they got what they want from Nepal authorities.
India did the same in 1989 when they tried to test our patience .Around 26 years ago.Then India was nothing .But Nepal couldnt diversify tgeir trade why ?

You dont have any idea about the influence of India in Nepal.
Madeshis are an important factor in there.Nepal citizens have full right to aplly any job including govt jobs in India .They dont need any passport to visit this nation.
Blockade is just a mild measure we have other big cards in our pockets.
You know the situation of Bihar and UP.Tommorroew if they Madeshis turned against because of our non coperation they will flame same issue in those states.And at any cost we cant allow that.

China think twice before they antogonise us in Nepal.If they try that we will began more activity against them in SCS and also in international arena.

Population matters little, its about economic and geopolitical strength.

You also overestimate India's strength. This was India needlessly interfering in Nepal's internal politics. Nothing has changed, India got nothing from this entire drama. The only thing tha occurred is that Nepal realized the position in the Indo-Nepali relationship.

Mark my words, Nepal isn't going to just this lying down.

Just like India was not a powerful nation in the past, the same is true for Nepal. The difference now is that Nepal isn't as weak as you seem to think it is.

India is seventh largest economy by nominal and third largest by PPP. It is one the fastest growing major economy in the world. By 2040, India, US and China will account for 60% of world economy. So you assertion that India is not a major economic force doesn't hold ground.

Second, geographically India is located in a region where 60% of world trade happens. India is at the confluence of east Asia and Middle east.

As on Nepal, relations between India and Nepal are going to grow higher. What India did was the right thing. Madeshi and Taru people make up 40% of Nepal's population and all three major Nepali parties don't represent them. You cannot deprive constitutional rights of 40% of Nepal population that are fighting for their rights since 2006. The era of apartheid is gone. All have to be given equal political rights.

Utterly poor comprehension. What Nepali ambassador says is no proof of what India does. Duh!

Of course I expect the chini troll hiding behind american flags to post his usual inanities, but atleast a senior poster such as you should be more careful.

@SomeGuy thays very shallow analyses. The devil is in the details, and not in India or Indias overestimation. We did not create the ethnic issue in Nepal. They did. And using India for their internal politics is not new either. This fake news itself is posted by some newspaper probably linked to some vested interest and not credible.

The madhesis are 40 pct of population. If some nepalis are going to hate on them for not being nepali enough, they are going to react and things will get even worse as divide grows. Only a peaceful settlement is in our favor, but not in our hands. Get out of this small state victim mentality, small states are responsible for managing their own states effectively too. India can only be blamed here for not making sure the flawed constitution did not get passed, but is that even our job? Would that not be interference?

And no there is no blockade by India. But by madhesis. There are pictures available of them blocking roads in the thousands. The same racist nepalis who want them discriminated against are blaming India for it to vilify the madhesis. This should be clear to anyone with basic understanding of the matter. But we are even struggling with english comprehension on this thread, which itself is based on fake news. So may be my expectation is misplaced and sweeping generalisations about India are probably in order afterall.

Would they announce that publicly even if both of them agree in secret terms?
I dont think so.Situations turned into a worst disaster because of their game play with China.They did the same in 26 years ago.According to your opinion ,they might be undertand the depth of India -Nepal relation.But nothing changes until now.
Why?
Of Course we might did some mistake in past .But when it comes to the diplomacy and strategic calculation current officials in South Block are very professional .
AFAIK there is no blockade in there .But if they decided for a blockade they would t already did several calculations and analyses about the consequences and also countermeasures of Nepal.

Nepal is now in a worst condition in their history.EarthQuake already fried out all of the the very base of their economy .How can they take on India ?
Trucks are also essential supplies where there is no protest.70 trucks are already burned down by protesters .Did you actually think the truck owners risk their life and property for some geopolitical necessity ?They only cares about their livehood .

Like I said you should travel from southern tip of Kanyakumari to J&K to realize the true magnitude Nepal dependence on us.
