GAME CHANGER! China hiring large numbers of Gurkhas from Nepal to create several mountain divisions for Chinese army. Gurkhas are great for mountain warfare where Chinese are weak. Will be deployed across the Himalayas & Central Asia by 2024.
India’s response is???

India’s biggest Himalayan blunder in recent years is to lose Nepal. With US out of Afghan the Taliban takeover is a matter of time. China-Pak Axis has Afghan, Iran, Nepal, Tajik. NORTHWEST NIGHTMARE!

China-Nepal defense treaty is likely, similar to India-Bhutan treaty. Will put Chinese army in Nepal.
Also investments to harness water from the melting snow - hydroelectric power for Nepal & water pumped north to China. India will lose nepal water flowing to UP etc.

Many of the points were made in my @loksabhatv interview. Pls watch:

To open-minded observant persons:
-Nepal claims Indian territory (unprecedented in history)
-Nepal foreign minister joined China-Pak-Afghan QUAD summit recently
-Compare Nepal media today vs 10 years back
-Ask Indian visitors returning from Nepal

Some ppl see smoke and run away.
Some wait for the fire to reach them.
True kshatriyas go looking for the fire to deal with it proactively.
All three types of Indians on display in these comments.
Which type are you?😊

Scholar of Himalayas will join me hopefully in next 2 weeks to discuss history of Himalayan geopolitics. Fascinating stuff about the Great Game of the 1800s and maybe earlier. Lessons we must refresh.
