Floods in Bihar could be a diplomatic move by Nepal to remind the Great Indian Democracy that how important Nepal’s Prime Minister visit is to India quite contrary to the view what our Ministry of External Affairs is projecting.
BUILT UP TO THE VISIT
1. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ Saturday left for People’s Democratic Republic of China on a five-day official visit to attend the closing ceremony of Beijing Olympics-2008.Prime Minister Prachanda was welcomed at the VVIP of the Central International Airport in Beijing by the Vice-Minister for Population and Family Planning of China. This is the PM’s first international visit.
2. NEW DELHI: Nepal's new Maoist PM, Prachanda, has made his choice clear. Within a week of taking office, he is breaking bread with the Chinese leadership at the closing ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing, preferring it over meeting the Indian leadership in New Delhi. (Source : Times of India).
3. End of August: Bihar’s sorrow kosi floods North Bihar due to breach in embankment in Nepal.
4. Second week September: - Nepal’s Prime Minister Prachanda makes his first official international visit since taking office last month with a trip to India after saying treaties between the two countries should be reviewed. Accompanied by cabinet ministers and business leaders, Nepal's new prime minister is in India for what is termed a "goodwill" visit.
5. NEW DELHI: In the aftermath of the Kosi flooding that has left millions of people homeless in India and Nepal, prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal `Prachanda’ has said he favoured the idea of setting up a high dam on the river Kosi to regulate the flow of water. Mr Prachanda conveyed his affirmation for the hydel power project in a meeting with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar at a lunch hosted by JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav.
6. Water resources management was on top of the agenda during bilateral discussions between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Mr Prachanda. During the meeting Mr Singh extend Rs 20 crore as immediate relief for flood victims in Nepal.
7. India and the now defunct royalist government of Nepal saw the Maoist insurgency, led by the man who is now prime minister, as a common security challenge. That might be one reason why Prime Minister Dahal is calling for an end to recruitment of Nepali Gurkhas into the Indian Army. The Gurkhas have had a reputation as fierce warriors here since the early 19th century, when they were contracted by the British East India Company. There are about 40,000 Gurkhas serving in the Indian Army and paramilitary forces. Indian military officials say, even if Nepal takes the unlikely step of banning service in the Indian military, it will not significantly affect the force, which has more than one-million personnel under arms.
So my unambiguous assessment of the breach in Kosi embankments is that it was bound to happen in wake of the events in Nepal. The problem is our so called brilliant bureaucracy didn’t foresee it coming or they were too much looking forward for the FLOOD RELIEF PACKAGE BONOUS. For it is no hidden fact the industry of providing relief is quite profitable. And of course the State has an agenda to save the poor.Save the poor when they are only in dire state and not before it.
Other indicators were the regular cry of our neighbours to change a half a century old friendship agreement which was done with a Monarch. Can somebody question our extraordinary MEA what they were doing about it? The culprits covert and overt both must be brought to the punitive end of Law.
Lastly I do see the worst nightmare of INDO NEPAL friendship coming true. As Nepal gets closer to China Indian Army may end up loosing The Nepali Gurkhas. Whatever has to be done by our excellent foreign policy makers it must be done now.
Note: - Built Up to the visit has been picked up from various sources.

CARRY ON INDIA
Advice and sermonising being our favourite past time and when you have incidents like Delhi 13 Sep 09 the nation with a national obsession of critisising has got a great topic to discuss this weekend, I presume. With scotch on the rocks we will call it a Government failure an Intelligence failure a Policing failure and ask for the top up. So cheers! For after they are done for the day they will move in to their cosy warm beds and sleep sound.
For they would not have lost their only bread earners ,for they who live in a climate control world it doesn’t matter what the common man is going through in the streets. On their Plasma screens they will have a firsthand experience of so called terror in Delhi. The problem and sad part is, it even doesn’t matter for the common man now. For either he has to busy struggling to survive or he has joined the bandwagon of people racing to reach the same climate control world where temperature is 18 degrees throughout the year as if they are in London.
So the great nation can relax as for now and in future can say we assimilate people who invade us. We the great civilization like our previous invaders Greeks, Mongols, Turks, Europeans assimilated in our culture. Probably we are trying to assimilate likes of Osamas. Sare Jahan se Achaa………….
No need to appeal to the people for our democratic setup is so strong that if Osama stand in election today I guarantee 110 % he will reach the parliament .Oh please do stand in election Mr Dawood And Mr Osama. We do need a change.
Last I have a request to these Terror cells please target the PEOPLE who matter to the Government and not the Insects and Rodents on the street. Yeah I missed The Great INDIAN YOUTH, The GEN NEXT and what not, GUYS LETS GO AND WATCH ROCK ON in PVR.

OUR MOHD BIN TUGHLUQS
Muhammad Tughluq was a medieval Indian scholar and a learned man. He knew logic, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and physical sciences. He was also a calligraphist. He had knowledge of medicine and was skillful in dialectics.He has been described as an "amazing compound of contradictions". He is one of the most striking figures in medieval India. He was a man with ideas far beyond his age however we remember him more for his blunders.
We also have lot of Tughluqs around us.The less I quote here is better but I will ask the reader to use his imagination and put it in Indian perspective.Lets' take our Government and its much propagated NREGS (National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme).The result could be contrasting and corruption exponential.Lets' not forget THE AMARNATH ROW.
At all levels we have our Tuglaqs be it Panchayat, Block,District,State. Try reading it with any organisation as a model and you will have ample example to quote.
