Nepal 's Effect On India

Hinduism is one of the main religions in South Asia that focuses on one’s soul and eternity of themselves. This religion has shaped into a patriarchal society in India with a caste system that affected gender. In addition, Hinduism has impacted some of the aspects in United States politics. As the Aryans brought this religion to India around 1500 BC, its system and practices spread and evolved around the world into a primary belief. Hinduism has impacted the world socially, politically and even economically.

Before 1971, Bangladesh was divided into two regions; both with opposing political power. Although East Pakistan (Bangladesh) withheld the larger population between the two provinces, it acquired much less political dominance than West Pakistan. Through the power and representation of leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, East Pakistan rebelled. Rahman, leader of political party ‘The Awami League’ demanded more powers both politically and economically. This struggle finally cumulated into the war of independence for East Pakistan.

Due to corruption and bureaucratic delays this has put many miners out of work. These miners are then forced to look for other opportunities to provide an income for their families. This is one the unintended side effects that has caused more people to turn towards the violent militias, prolonging the conflict.

There are yellow taxis roaming around and loud construction sounds couldn’t get any louder. Everyone is in a rush and nobody has persistence. Firefighters, cops, and rescue vehicle sirens are calling out; in a crowded city named New York. Awakening to a scent of nature united with the scent of dairy animals' waste; hearing the sounds of the bells ring as families gather around to drink butter tea, that is Nepal. Clear disparate however enter differences found in Nepal and New York is education, cultural beliefs, and standard living.

On the car ride home, my father said, “Hinduism is the only religion that tolerates all other [religions], see [if you] look at India’s history, we [Indians] have never invaded another country. Look at Christianity, how many people have they killed? Now they’re better [in terms of tolerance and morals], but look at [the] Muslims. What’s happening now in the Middle East?”

My dad had warned me but i did not expect this much. People seemed to be more open. For example kids talked about their divorced parents openly. This would hardly happens in Nepal. This brings me to another cultural difference in Nepal. I realized Nepalese are more concerned about others opinion; what might he or she think if i sad this? Not to mention, people have different standards depending on their wealth, if vanished society might disrespect them. Here people could give a damn. In Nepal, the rich sleepin in money while the poor did not even had a blanket to cover their body at night. The richest are always stepping on the others head to move forward while the lower classes are sinking on the ground. Money makes the world go

Imagine a religion so old that it is said to be timeless and has always been there, even before humans set foot on the Earth. It’s mindboggling to think that the knowledge of everything is floating in the space of the universe and the mind is just a way of reaching it. Hinduism is a very complex religion, yet it still sets one ultimate goal for the soul. To deeper understand Hinduism we must reveal its origin, doctrines, customs, and culture.

of India, due to which it remained marginalized as an electoral post (not social post) for a while. The primary support of Hindu Nationalism comes from the Northern and Western parts of India. Being a center right movement, it is seen to have major differences with Congress. They are driven by ideology and faith, and are traditionally conservatives. It is seen that they are able to mobilize a large section of the population who trust leaders and parties that use religion as a mobilizing factor. India being a Hindu majority country, has a large Hindu religious voter base and the BJP over the year have been able to mobilize on this portion of the population who are driven by the idea of Hindu nationalism. It is important to remember that even though the Hindu nationalism movement was marginalized electorally during the early years after the Independence, it remained strong and influential throughout society and over there years gradually gained support and electoral posts in Indian politics. The BJP is a party of the strong, meaning that it is an organization run by the educated upper class and is backed by political and economic elites. It follows a dual targeting voter strategy, in which the Party politics takes care of the interests of the upper class (consisting of business and political elites), and then there are social organizations in place that do charity and other social work that takes care of the poor. The BJP as a party has an organization centric party structure.

The Partition of India in August, 1947 was a significant event in history that accounted for the separation of one of the world’s oldest civilization into two, independent nations – Pakistan and India. Like many other wars in history, The Partition of India was instigated by religious, political and social conflict. This resulted in violence, discrimination and the largest human displacement in contemporary history. While the Partition was well-studied, much of our understanding was focused on the political side of history, not the human side of it. This was why oral history played an important role in manifesting the complexity of a historical event. Our focus here is Maya Rani’s testimony from Butalia’s book, The Other Side of Silence:

The partition of India is one of the defining chapters in India’s entire history. Although many different reasons caused the partition, political factors were a key player in bringing about this monumental change in India’s borders. The pre-existing communal differences between Hindus and Muslims grew as a result of the fears of both groups losing power and giving up control to the other. The partition which was supposed to grant freedom and independence for all Indians resulted in creating a deeper hatred and animosity which would cost countless lives through riots, rape, and mass murder for decades to come. Gandhi said “in actual life, it is impossible to separate us into two nations. We are not two nations. Every Moslem will have a Hindu name if he goes back far enough in his family history. Every Moslem is merely a Hindu who has accepted Islam. That does not create nationality. . . . We in India have a common culture. In the North, Hindi and Urdu are understood by both Hindus and Moslems. In Madras, Hindus and Moslems speak Tamil, and in Bengal, they both speak Bengali and neither Hindi nor Urdu. When communal riots take place, they are always provoked by incidents over cows and by religious processions. That means that it is our superstitions that create the trouble and not our separate nationalities.” He tried to unite all Indians by showing them that having different religions does not separate Indians and the only path to true independence would be to come

Dating back to the partition of India in 1947, the disputes in Kashmir continue on in our present day. This conflict mainly involves India, Pakistan, and China over disputes in territory. This problem was spread throughout a range of states that were run by Maharaja’s prevailing within the newly independent countries Pakistan and India (Insight on Conflict 2016). The people living in India before the 1947 partition had the choice of either joining India or Pakistan, the people were not entitled to remain independent (Kanwal 2014). Maharaja Hari Singh at the time did not want to choose between the states of India and Pakistan he preferred to be independent. He signed an agreement to stay neutral with the both India and Pakistan, this was an honor to India but Pakistan

Why? Enter India. Dahal has been pushing the amendment to appease India, rather than satisfy the Madheshi parties. Indian leaders want the amendment and the Indian ambassador in Kathmandu had overtly lobbied the Nepali leaders to deliver it.
