About china/india: Nope. This is objectively false.
- Quarrelsome 1y agosurely needs some sort of citation. Is it not rather obvious that a small nation bordered by two bigger nations would be unduly influenced by them?
- alephnerd 1y agoI think what they means is dismissing the student protests as instigated by either India or China is doing a disservice to them. And I agree with them - the ongoing protests are a result of anger against the political establishment's corruption - while thousands of Nepalis go abroad to work in the Gulf and India as menial labor, the political establishment's kids go abroad to America, Canada, and Australia to study, party, and live their best life. My point was orthogonal to that - I'm saying that Chinese and Indian influence on the political establishment has been strongly entrenched. Even Nepali media calls out Sharma's pro-China leanings and Deuba's pro-India leanings, and Prachanda's "paltu Ram" antics.
