Public sentiment is mixed, with skepticism surrounding the government's extradition efforts for economic fugitives. While some express hope for justice, many commenters are concerned about potential political motivations, inefficacy of the legal system, and the lack of accountability stemming from these actions.

Indian Government

Honestly good. We should’ve done this in 2008 itself.

&gt;The U.S. has approved the extradition of a suspect in the 2008 militant attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai in which over 160 people were killed, President Donald Trump said on Thursday in a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

&gt;The three-day attacks on hotels, a train station and a Jewish center in which 166 people were killed began on November 26, 2008. India says Pakistan-based Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba orchestrated the attacks. Pakistan's government

&gt;Trump did not name the individual in the press conference but a joint statement from the two sides later identified the man as Pakistani-origin Chicago businessman and Canadian citizen Tahawwur Rana. The joint India-U.S. statement also called on India's neighbor Pakistan to bring to justice those accused of extremist attacks against India and prevent its territory from being used for extremism. Pakistan's government denies supporting extremist activities.

&gt;Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Rana's review petition against his extradition. Rana was previously sentenced to U.S. federal prison for providing support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba. 

&gt;Trump was also asked in the press conference about Sikh separatists in the United States, whom India calls security threats. Sikh separatists demand an independent homeland known as Khalistan to be carved out of India

&gt;Trump did not respond directly to the question but said India and the U.S. worked together on crime. Since 2023, India's alleged targeting of Sikh separatists in the U.S. and Canada has emerged as a wrinkle in U.S.-India ties, with Washington charging an ex-Indian intelligence officer in a foiled U.S. plot. India says it is probing U.S. allegations.

I despise both these guys but some of the due-outs from yesterday’s meeting are actually very promising.

This is going to be great for India - US relationship. This will be seen positively by pretty much every single Indian regardless of political affiliation.

Dont forget that these oligarchs now own most of the media and all they do is spread fake news, spew venomous hatred or praise the great leader. People are unwittingly consuming all this. They think the country is doing great and it is just them who are in a bit of a pickle. Orwell couldnt be more right.

 Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

Ohhhh!! We are already halfway there.

You can also add a splash of religious puritanism in the mix, just for safety.

True but honestly I see this shit happening everywhere. USA has Super PACs which allow corporations to pool in large sums of money to lobby the government to do their bidding. In South Korea just a couple of large corporations control most of the economy and the government.

The government just doesn't have the resources to manage a lot of these public services anyways. Government agencies are filled with incompetent people due to reservation and our tax revenue is generated by a small set of people. For the government to do more we would have to increase taxes. While some might think that we should increase taxes on ultra wealthy/corporations it can backfire easily as increased taxes can result in lesser foreign investment and companies might even start to look at other countries for investment like Vietnam.

Yeah this has always been evident tbh. There wasn’t a need for a post about it. Reliance Adani and Tata has their hands in absolutely everything. Consultancy, Jewelry. Everything

But what is the Government going to do about it under a democratic ideology? Where campaign donations keep you in power. What will the person in power do to stop it?

On the other hand. What happens if a communist leader isnt good for the country and just wants money. Like Trump. Tata Adani and reliance will have more money and control than ever before.

You're correct in whatever you wrote. But india is in its log phase currently. Whichever form of govt comes in, has to be oligarchic, no matter its economic orientation. Capitalism or communism or anything. Democracy even in its ideal form is not the correct form of govt for india. Because there is a lot of diversity without any form of unity. Every decision has to be swift and has to be taken in favour of some form of development. But due to such a large diversity, every other group will have a problem with any decision not in their favour. Take example of anything and everything. Farmers will protest if the cost of their products is reduced, middle class will protest if taxes are raised to compensate for the poor. The examples are not perfect, but you can imagine many more. We can just hope for a visionary leader, who works in favour of the nation, in whatever way he/she feels like. We can just hope that he doesn't go mad and corrupt with the power. Because with the current scenario also, we are getting the cons of both dictatorship and democracy but not getting pros of any. I get it that what I'm proposing is ideal dictatorship, but that is only because i have the belief now that ideal democracy is not going to do anything in india. India is the most unique country in the world, so there has to be some sort of new type of system which no one has ever imagined. Largest population, largest number of religious, largest number of divisions, I don't think democracy can handle such a huge population.

yes india is funding the recent movement

as soon as raja gains power, india will start helping party leaders, maoists or any other power thats available.

the aim is to keep nepal in a permantly controlled instability/ chaos and gain by bargaining with those on power by pushing the opposition

the day nepal has permanent peace, stability and progresses economically, we will have our own stand on matters of our resources, internal and foreign policies, as well as relation with china

so south wala chimeki ko aim nai hami lai never ending chaos ra political turmoil ma rakhne ho, tesko lagi desh bhitrai media houses, business empires, party leaders and netas sabai pay roll ma cha since decades

Watch this by 'Sudheer Sharma' to understand why India might be influencing monarchy movement.  
By the way, if you simply together the events leading upto here. American Gov Change, Oli coming to power, Nepal Army talking about difficutl geo political situation, Gyanendra's speech etc you can definitely infer somethings cooking up. It might not end up with actual monarchy change but just change in some government activity more in favour of India.  
Arju Deuba staying in India for a week and making embarrassing public statement that 'She was assured India is not trying to influence political change'. Oli saying 'RAW agents are tyring to oust me' in internal UML meeting. You can see how worried the government is even if they say otherwise, hence Oli is working hard to patch things up with Modi.

People of nepal living in imaginary world. Yes it's true that people want king to rule the nepal but the only cause is the only remaining hindu nation in the world. India can't turn back from what it faced because of invasions and because of that hindus in India didn't want nepal to become next Bangladesh Or Pakistan but seems people in nepal think too much high of them. 

No hate to nepal but in real no one cares about nepal which hasn't even a single resources which can force a country like india, china or Us to interfere in it. 

The only reason is that indians want to have good relationship with nepal because of history we share and same goes for china, which also want nepal because it's neighbor of theirs. 


Otherwise you can choose your own path and ruin yourself by making enemy of neighbouring country when you yourself is a land lock country.
