"It is ludicrous to even suggest that the Indian government-even one controlled by the socialist Congress Party-would want a proxy government, established by PRC-inspired henchman, on their border."
Hi , I am not saying it is with overt or complicit Delhi
approval. So much corruption , so much takes place with the handing over of a few Rps. Yes some weapons are caught , but many more make it thru due to payoff's. Same with hospitalization for wounded Nepali Maoists , officially they should not be found in Indian hospitals , but they are and in great numbers throughout UP & Bihar and elsewhere.
And why is this 'blind-eye' business tolerated? Because
India may feel it has it's hands full facing Pak in the West
all all the evil that issues forth into Kashmir from there, they do not want to stir up a 5th column among their own dear Naxal's anymore than they can avoid. So the Nepal struggle drags on. It is amazing to me that people here , obviously of Indian origin or sympathy, deny the very apparent Nepali Maoist base that is rooted in India.
Indian Intel certainly knows the full extent of it.
What the game truly is one can only guess....totally bizarre.

That may be the case.
Any government that has been run for thirty or more years by the same, socialist, collectivist party is bound to be rife with corruption.
Just ask the good people of Israel.
However, that does not necessarily inculpate government officials in some sort of conspiracy to blithely ignore a cross-border Maoist insurgency.
The analogy to the situation in the Jaffna peninsula, prior to the administration of Rajiv Gandhi, isn't quite apt, either.
While India played a murky role in the conflict in Sri Lanka for a number of years, I don't believe that the current Indian government could be said to have any lingering sympathy for the Maoists in Nepal, even if it may be tangentially connected to a residual hostility to the people who foment its own domestic insurgencies.
