You guys must be tired of Hrithik Vs Nepal news by now. Please
bare with me for one more article and I promise, I will not bring this topic anymore. I did some research on Nepal-India relation
after Hrithik Incident and I found some interesting news :
* When I talked to a group of people about the incident, they
are concerned but not worried about what is happening in
Nepal. Most of the people believe, things will go back to normal
soon.
* Almost all of the Nepalese students here in Boston (99%)think
nepalese protestors are to blame for the violence and
riots.According to them, Hrithik should not apologize for
what he did not say and even if he had made those comments,
they think, that is his personal opinion.
* According to a poll in Times of India 30% of the people
think Hrithik has offended Nepal and Nepalese people.
(I don't know about you, but I found this very
Interesting ).
So, my conclusion is, maybe this incident is not bad as it looks.
It may take some time to the people of both countries to earn back the old trust and respect for each other but it will not affect current Nepal-India relation on the long run. Instead, I think nepal will eventually benifit from this incident. I think, India will take Nepal little differntly (more seriously)from this point and there will be much more efforts from both sides of Government to improve the relationship.

Hi SJPji:
Thanks for sharing the news with us.
However, an information:
They are also angry with us. Some Indians yesterday blocked the
shooting of Manisha Koirala, and a few college boys blocked the
bridge in the western border of Nepal-India.
Indians talking about anti-Indian sentiment and violence in Nepal
is nonsense.There is strong anti-Nepalese sentiment in Assam and
the central government did nothing to contain the Bodos when they
set ablaze villages of Nepalese population there a decade ago.In
fact, the violence there is still continued, but what is the
result?
I hate all kind of communal violence.But it is nonsense that
India doesn't need to preserve Nepalese interest, while we need!
And what about the recent interview of one Indian BJP leader
who said Nepal should have been annexed long ago!
