>> Demand that India cooperate in this effort and stop secretly
>> aiding and abetting the Maoists out of fear of their own
>> Maoists.

That's one of the most uninformed statements I've read. India co-operates fully with Nepal in ending the Maoist rebellion in Nepal and the Naxalite rebellion in some Indian provinces.

Maoism is the fruit of China, not India. And I don't see any South Asian country in a position to 'demand' something from India.

Here you are very incorrect
These Nepalese Maoist strictly resupply from India not China.
There has never been any indication that China is giving them any material supply , whereas many many Nepali Maoists have been arrested (and then often released) in India . They use Indian hospital facilities for their wounded routinely.The Nepali Maoists arms flow from arms dealers in Burma from as far away as Cambodia and also via the Tamil Tiger networks in Sri Lanka , all of these routes pass thru India.
Indian negotiations with the Naxalites basically amount to a
ceasefire truce , with no Naxalites being disarmed and none required to ceases their Maoist activities , only to stop shooting at the Indian Police and Javans. There are many direct links and solid contacts between the Nepalese Maoists
and their Naxal brethren , few of these links are being challenged in any meaningful way by Delhi. I wonder what Delhi tells the Nepali King when he comes begging to Delhi to "Please! do something...." as he did just last month ?

"Maoism is the fruit of China, not India"

I was up on the Tibetan border in 92' and couldn't help but notice the heavy Nepalese troop presence there. Relations were certainly far from friendly with the Chinese then. I also noticed in the previous article that the Maoist insurgency has been ongoing for nine years. I think it's been going on longer than that as I heard of rebels when I was there in 92'.
