We, the members of FB, petition government of India under PM Modi:

  • to remove the 2-month long blockade along the India-Nepalese border.
  • We emphasize that India should continue the formerly existing good cultural and economic relations and not exert power-play as a regional superpower and make its military and political clout felt in the region. Both India and Nepal were Hindu nations at the beginning and both have chosen to be secular, which is a good thing.

- We demand that Delhi recognizes and respects the new Constitution of Nepal.

- Who demand that India refrains from mixing in the internal affairs of Nepal in the lowland Terai area (Madeshi Issue). India also backed out of the Tamil-issue in Sri Lanka and it is expected that Delhi should refrain from such political involvements in Nepal.

- We demand that Delhi recognizes Nepal’s sovereignty as an independent nation, and should be respected. Nepal is not comparable to India’s military protectorate Bhutan. Nepal stands is a landlocked country but has always stood on its own feel and was never colonialised.

.

Because of the Indian blockade, Nepal’s people are suffering a lot due to lack of fuel: transportation has come to a standstill, people who want to return home to Nepal cannot do so because the buses and planes are grounded.The social services and ngos activities have been disrupted, hospitals are running out of medication, and according to unicef 1,6 million Nepalese children cannot go to school due to transport difficulties caused by the blockade. Nepal is a country which had to suffer from the tectonically caused earthquake where thousands were injured, died and became homeless and the Indian government must take all these factors into consideration, and remove the blockade immediately.

India has a long friendship with Nepal. Why are you putting some of the most vulnerable people through this? Grow a conscience and let the fuel through please.

India, a powerful neighbour should respect sovereignty of Nepal. India should adhere to the treaty signed many years ago. India should not try and engage into making Nepal's region into Eastern Ukraine type political entity secretly supported by Russian. India's behaviour towards Nepal is inviting Chinese involvement. Nepal is a secular state and India must recognise Nepal's constitution. India's Blockade is affecting lives of ordinary people--children, elderly and rustic hill-men. UN Charter of Human Rights upholds Nepal and Nepalese sovereignty. India fought hard to get/become an Independent nation. Nepal has the right to remain as an Independent nation. Nepali soldiers as Gorkhas have had defended India's sovereignty since 1947, August.

Why would you do this. India is known for it's tolerance - please show compassion to the people of Nepal who have suffered so much in circumstances over which they had no control

Nepal and India must come to good terms for the sake of peace, tolerance, mutual respect of the sovereignity of South Asian countries and elsewhere.
