Central Chronicle, Bhopal: May 25 and 26, 2006

It is a tragedy beyond words that on May 18, 2006, Nepal Adhirajya, the only Hindu country in the world and occupying a special place in the billion strong Hindu community’s heart across the globe, has been divested of its Hindu identity, and has been declared as a secular country under pressure from Maoists and missionaries.

It is deplorable that Nepal, the land of glorious history of thousands of years; the land of warriors, sages, temples and Vedic heritage; the land of Gopalas, Mahishpals, Kirats, Lichhavis, Mallas and Shahs; the land of Yalambar, Lumbini and Gautam Budha, Manadeva, Amsuverma, Jayasthiti Malla, and Prithvi Narayan Shah; and the only Hindu country in the world is being grabbed by Maoists and missionaries in the name of democracy.

On May 18, 2006 after a decade long Maoist violence which began in 1996, the interim government led by G. P. Koirala divested Nepal of it being a Hindu country, and proclaimed it to be a secular state. Besides, simultaneously, ‘His Majesty’s Government’ was replaced with ‘Nepal Government’ and Royal Nepal Army (which was fighting the Maoists) was named Nepalese Army. To complete Nepal’s break with its distinguished past, monarch was divested of all the executive powers including that of being the supreme commander of the army. In the process, the basic identity and history of Nepal have been sought to be destroyed.

And there was no word of protest against the Maoists for the death and destruction brought by them.

Anti Hindu conspirators, Maoists, missionaries and ISI operators could not have asked for more. In the background of Pope’s 1999 address at New Delhi asking for evangelization of Asia, missionaries see in demolition of Hindu kingdom of Nepal better opportunities for Christianizing the Hindu nation of Nepal.

Though there are scores of Christian and Muslim countries in the world, and though there is a billion strong Hindu community across the globe, Nepal with a population of 24 millions was the only Hindu country in the world.

Maoist-takeover of Nepal

For Nepal as also for India, Maoists are the problem, and not the solution.

It is all the more deplorable that Nepal which could never be subjugated in the past is being grabbed by the Maoists under the subterfuge of democracy. As per Mao Tse Tung (1893-1976), “power flows through the barrel of a gun”; and as his faithful followers, Maoists use violence to achieve political power. And Maoists never admire democracy.

Nepal travelled from absolute to constitutional monarchy in 1990. However, in February 1996, ‘Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist’ launched its violent movement to substitute constitutional monarchy with communist regime. Starting in 1996, Maoist violence has claimed thousands of lives in Nepal.

Throughout their regime till 2005, multi-party democracy and political parties could not tackle Maoist threat. Accordingly, to quell insurgency and to save Nepal from disaster, in February 2005, king Gyanendra took over the government for three years.

History teaches that democratic niceties cannot tackle insurgencies. A similar Maoist rebellion known as ‘Shining Path’ (Sendero Luminoso in Spanish) tormented Peru for decades before it was crushed in 1990s by Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori who suspended legislature and judiciary, and used army and dictatorial powers to crush terrorism.

After pro-democracy demonstrations, King Gyanendra restored Parliament and invited the Seven-Party Alliance to form the government. Nepali Congress leader G.P. Koirala was installed as the Prime Minister of Nepal.

Forgetting that many of their party members were killed by the same Maoists prior to royal takeover in 2005; and mortally scared of Maoists, Seven Party Alliance is implementing Maoist agenda which will facilitate Maoist takeover of Nepal, and make all non-Maoists irrelevant very soon. For political parties, the only way to defeat the Maoists would have been to support the king.

A unique native institution

Nepal is the only surviving native Hindu government on earth. Therefore, as a venerable symbol of aspirations of global Hindu community, Nepal’s Hindu identity must be protected and preserved by the Hindu world.

Anti-Hindu forces want to destroy Nepal, the world’s sole surviving Hindu kingdom, the way all other native religions and governments in other parts of the world have been already destroyed. Those celebrating the fall of Nepal as a Hindu nation should reflect on loss of millions of lives in Russia, China, North Korea, Laos, Cambodia and many other countries where communists came into power.

Though anti-Hindus, Maoists and missionaries will celebrate demolition of the world’s only Hindu country, it is a grim tragedy for Hindus all over the world. Considering Nepal’s history and heritage, only the constitutional monarchy and a Hindu Nepal will be able to save Nepal from Maoists and missionaries.

Issues at stake

Events in Nepal concern every Hindu in Nepal, in India and every where else. The issue in Nepal is not of monarchy versus democracy as has been wrongly projected by some sections in media. The issue is that of having a friendly Hindu nation versus a communist dictatorship in India’s neighbourhood. The issue is that of native Hindu governance versus a totalitarian communist regime like China, Vietnam or North Korea.

The issue is of preservation of Hindu culture and heritage in Nepal, in India and in rest of the world.

Demolition of the only Hindu country in the world will be disastrous for Hindus, and will lead to gradual destruction of Hindu heritage all over the world. Why cannot even a single Hindu country exist when there are scores of Muslim and Christian countries in the world?

Way out

By leaving Nepal to its fate, India has facilitated Maoist takeover of Nepal. And Maoist takeover of Nepal will be detrimental to India since it will sharpen Maoists’ war on India. Already, Maoists in India are targetting Indian state and challenging Indian sovereignty over large parts of India.

Nothing is wrong with Nepal’s Constitution of 1990, and with constitutional monarchy. Rather, constitutional monarchy is the only device which will save Nepal from Maoists and also enable it to retain its unique feature of being the Hindu nation. Since the king has already restored parliament and multi-party democracy, political parties have to ensure that Maoists do not grab Nepal. And political parties can ensure that only if they support the institution of constitutional monarchy; and do nothing to hand over power to Maoists.

Since past cannot be recalled and relived, and mistakes of the past cannot be undone, the least that the Indian government can do now to redeem the situation in Nepal is to help the anti-Mao forces in Nepal to crush Maoist violence and prevent Maoist takeover of Nepal.

Since Nepal has nurtured and upheld Hindu heritage and traditions for so many centuries, it deserves the help of global Hindu community in its fight against anti-Hindu forces.

If Nepal is allowed to be grabbed by Maoists and missionaries, India too will be grabbed by Maoists, missionaries and Pak-Bangla combine. Since government in India is passively watching the gradual demolition of Hindu nation of Nepal, organizations and individuals who understand Hindu anguish must do their best to preserve Nepal as a Hindu country.

It is now or never for Hindus all over the world.
