Maoists(Nepal) effect on India?

[Rusty Shackleford]

Apparently during the strike, the Indian gov't heightened security on the Nepalese-Indian border.

This being shown, i have a hypothesis to put forth. If the Maoists win a national government, or have a revolution in Nepal, it will surely strengthen the Indian Maoist movement. The Indian gov't's acion proves that Maoism in Nepal is indeed a threat to the state of India as well.

Two or three things to add: the Nepalese economy is pretty much wholly dependent on India for trade. The implications of this are quite obvious: the success of both revolutionary movements are intertwined. Secondly, the two movements claim to have "fraternal relations" with each other. As regards the actual effect of this, I'm not sure if they have ever been involved in talks, conferences etc. or if they have ever traded supplies and weapons. I think this sort of thing would be made harder by the bourgeois forces on both sides of the border. Finally, India has recently been involved in selling Israeli-made tanks to the Nepalese government. With the terrain in Nepal, this almost definitely implies that the they're going to be used on the streets, against protesters. It was a while ago when I heard this though, I don't know it has developed.

Absolutely I believe that the Naxalites will grow in strength because of this. At the very least they'll have somewhere to hide from gov't attacks.
