With his decision to press through a Constitutional amendment to modification Nepal’s main map to consist of parts of Indian territory that have remained in disagreement, Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has proven the worst worries of lots of in South Block, who have actually stressed for some years about Mr. Oli’s “nationalist politics” that translates in Nepal to an “anti-India” stance. In the past month alone, statements Mr. Oli has actually made have stunned numerous in India: from his vow to “recover” Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani from India and “get them back”, to an unrefined comparison on COVID-19 in between the “Indian infection” being “more lethal” than the virus from China, to insulting the national Ashoka Chakra symbol stating the lions represented India’s “hegemonic” styles (Mr. Oli referred to “Singham Jayate” rather than “Satyamev Jayate” in a Parliament speech). For others, this has just reinforced a belief that Mr. Oli is someone the Modi federal government can not do company with.
