I don't disagree but there is more than one way to skin that cat. The Indian geostrategic interest lies in preventing China from gaining defacto control over Nepal; and that is obviously our interest as well.

India is forcing Nepal into China's arms by supporting the Maoists. Maybe the king would not have to turn to China if he were not attacked by India and the US. A maoist dictatorship in Nepal would be even worse than Chinese influence there.

Getting the communist-created UN involved is the worst idea of all. A United Nations Development Program report from 2004 urged "land redistribution" and "agricultural reform" to deal with the problem of "Landlessness" in Nepal. National Strategy for Sustainable Development (nssd) - Nepal. The UN will give Nepal the Bobbie Mugabe "land reform" treatment. They'll have about as much "democracy" as Chavez' Venezuela. And India will be next.
