oh yeah for the cultural closeness to india, you need to read more. I dont mean that as an insult. No one who has even read a little about the place would say such a thing. Nepal is traditionally in the chinese sphere of influence. I dont think this[ref. pic above] is an Indian architecture style...

Hahaha! Check out Sagar's home page profile. And he's from Nepal.

As for architecture, there is a school of taught believing that martial arts and architecture went from Kerala (the southern state of India which had extensive ancient trading links with China), to China via SE Asia, and not the other way round.

And what happened to my requesting you to give authentic backing to your ludicrous claim of Indian Sikh troops being cowed down in Nepal, in that imaginary Indian "intervension" dream of yours?

what does sagar page say other than
"The Socialists are the most popular of all, and control the politics. "

which refers to the congress party i assume. That is consistent with what i wrote.
