Nepal imports apparel, textiles, electronic
equipment, machinery and equipment, leather products, vegetables, fruits, nuts,
chemical, rubber, plastic, metal products, and motor vehicles parts from China.
Basically, almost 90% of the things we use on a daily basis comes from China.
Then why can’t we bring the petroleum
from China as well. Especially, when Chinese Government is ready to help and
willing to do so.
It’s been almost a month now, India
have been blocking all the supplies including the petroleum products, in Nepal,
in order to fulfill their selfish motive. We are still recovering from the major Earthquake, now facing another major crisis of fuel shortage and food supplies. I am sure the whole world knows about this but
everybody is quiet. There is no point in pointing fingers at others, when your
own system has a problem, and it is corrupted. Our politicians still want to be Indian
puppet, as they are used to it. Shame on Nepalese government, who cannot do
anything at this dire state of need except just letting India treat us like
beggars.
Nepal’s geographical locations is in
the middle of India and China, not inside India. It is not end of the world, this is the age of Globalization, we should never reply on one country for everything. It may seem easy and beneficial to bring supplies only from India at this moment. But this is not a sustainable way to do business. We have to look for other options, and make better choices for our country, people and the future of new generations. We can't let Indian politicians run our Nation and decide the fate of our country.
Let's not forget this that India depends on Nepal for
geopolitical reason. They need Nepal's river for irrigation, electricity. Nepal
also acts as a buffer zone between India and china. Hence, India don't have to
spend billions of rupees protecting its border with Nepal. Similarly, India earn a lot of transit taxes on goods coming to Nepal. All the Indian
exports to Nepal helps business in Bihar. In addition to this bad relation with
Nepal means India will have headaches facing Chinese invasion from the northern
border. After all this, why aren't our Nepalese taking advantage of these things as India is doing right now. I ask myself this question every day, and I am sure all the Nepalese people do as well. This is the time for us to prove, is Nepal part of India or its own Sovereign Nation, which have never been colonized and produced one of the bravest warrior on earth, Gurkha, known in the history of mankind. This is a time for us to come together, and help each other out and stay strong.
I hope
this is a good lesson for the Nepalese politicians and hope that they have
learned the lesson of depending on one country for everything, when you have
neighbor in other side who is as powerful as the other one and treats us with
respect and dignity. If we give up this time, our country will always be slave to
India. So, please do not just give up yet, there is much more to do in order to
make our mark in this world and be proud to be call as Nepalese, nation of
brave Gurkhas, where Lord Buddha was born, where the tallest mountain of the
world resides. Jai Nepal !!
