Kathmandu Chronicle: Reclaiming India-Nepal Relations

By Atul K. Thakur and K.V. Rajan

In recent decades, Nepal's history has been marked by tumultuous events and transformations, and its relations with India by sharp fluctuations. From the Maoist insurgency to the hijacking of IC 814, from the Palace Massacre that wiped out King Birendra and his entire family to the coup by King Gyanendra against democracy, among others, the much-vaunted India-Nepal 'special relationship' has repeatedly experienced setbacks, some of them with long-term implications. What are the real causes of regular anti-Indian eruptions in Nepal, and why is there so much mutual distrust and suspicion despite India's best intentions? Anecdotal, definitive and deeply researched, Kathmandu Chronicle opens a window to many stories of India-Nepal relation that largely remain untold and therefore unknown till date.
