Backfire in Nepal: How India Lost The Plot to China Book Information:

epal explores how China has become the ultimate beneficiary of Indias democracy-promotion agenda in Nepal. New Delhi had made a bold bet in 2005, but one that contained two mutually fortifying flaws: the abolition of the monarchy and the empowerment of the former Maoist rebels. The worlds only Hindu monarch and kingdom were bound to India in a special relationship that neither country needed to define or assert. True, Indians had been put off by successive Nepalese monarchs playing New Delhi off against Beijing. In retrospect, a little more compassion for Nepals compulsions might have put things into sharper relief. Nepalese Maoists, being communists first, were trained to denounce Indian expansionism before American imperialism. Experience may have impelled the senior leadership to make practical compromises. It was a leap of faith for New Delhi to trust the leadership to rein in their cadres radicalism. More broadly, since India had also enlisted Western democracies, it needed to address their often-contradictory concerns throughout Nepals turbulent transition. The Chinese could act purely on their national interests. India continues to misread how Beijing sees Nepal both in terms of Chinas visions of the past and the future. This complicates the core trilateral challenge: ensuring that Nepal is not sucked deeper into the Sino-Indian vortex, only to be scorned for aggravating the Asian giants rivalry.
