Andrew J Potter looks at the emerging relationship between the newly independent Republic of Indian and superpower that was the United States during the Cold War era in his book, Comrades at Arms: The United States and India, 1947-1964. It is, however, the angle from which he decides to look at this relationship that is most interesting. Rotter decides to look at this budding complicated relationship from a culture angle as, in his own words, “Like the rest of us, policymakers and diplomats do not shed their values, biases, and assumptions at their office doors. They are creatures of culture, and their attitudes cannot help but shape the policy they make.”…

The groups could be ethnic, racial, class and ideological. Most of the conflicts escalate because of inequality, power and its dynamics in a relationship are fundamental to any approach to working with conflict. Basically, imbalance and misuse of power create conflict within a society and the state. Conflict between minority groups and government can be shown as simple, however, it would be a critical problem in the long run. The best way to solve the problem is conflict transformation before its turning to the violent act. The transformation of the inequality within a state or society can be difficult task, however conflict analysis and peace building process can take some action for the conflict resolution. In Nepalese context, first, the government has to have dialogue with their people; dialogue has huge power in conflict transformation. When you sit together, you can have human interaction with serious feelings, and you also have to negotiate with some give and take. Second, all parties should have valid perspective and legitimate demand for power. Which means, you should create win-win situation, where no one feels as a looser. The inequality and power disparity is mutual problem in Nepal, so you should create an environment, where all parties feel mutual responsibility. Based on Burton's idea that conflict analysis and resolution can help to analyze the situation and link with the Basic Human Need Theory…

* At this time, the United States and India share several differences, but one in particular is that India does not trust the growing relationship between China and America. “Many in India believe that the Obama administration has tilted its policy toward Beijing in a way that undermines Indian interests. Given China's close relations with Pakistan and continuing claims on Indian territory, India does not view Beijing as an honest broker” (Feigenbaum, 2010, pp. 76-91). India’s concern, for instance, the U.S. will not help relieve India if tensions riled along the Chinese-Indian border (Feigenbaum, 2010).…
Government must exploit all intelligence agencies to cut off their linkages through diplomatic initiatives. The CPI (Maoist) has close fraternal ties with many North-East insurgent groups, especially the RPF/PLA of Manipur. Most of these outfits have linkages with external forces inimical to India. The CPI (Maoist) has also frequently expressed their solidarity with the J&K terrorist groups. These ties are part of their ‘Strategic United Front’ against the Indian State. The CPI (Maoist) also has close links with foreign Maoist organizations in Philippines, Turkey etc. The outfit is also member of the ‘Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organizations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), which includes Nepalese Maoists . While attempting to cut off foreign support, part of the money generated from the mining and industrial projects undertaken in the affected areas, government must put some money aside for the progress and development of these areas. At the same time it should exercise caution that, money should not reverse flow back to Maoists in the form of percentage cuts, taxation or extortion by maoists as it happened in most of the NREGA…

All nations wish to become self sufficiently economic; however for countries like Nepal such an achievement seems out of reach, especially if it decides to depend upon China for basic resources. Supplies of basic necessities such as food, electricity, and clothing should be managed by the country to a certain extent. If Nepal decides to stop manufacturing such goods in the belief that China will cover the demand of the entire population, it can bring its long, much desired dream of being named as a 'developed country' to an end. During times of war and chaos China will stop exporting goods to Nepal. In such cases, the country will suffer a…

Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia, between China and India. Although strategically placed between two large well-known countries, Nepal happens to be one of the poorest countries in the world. There are over 29 million people inhabiting the country today, and one third of which live under the poverty line. Nepal has a GDP per capita of 1,200 dollars. The mainstay of the economy is agriculture, and their main import and export partners are China and India. The Nepali government is categorized as a federal democratic republic (CIA World Factbook). At this point in time, the country is currently unstable. There was a civil war for ten years, from 1996 to 2006. Nepal is still recovering, and occasionally has to deal with the Maoist rebels who try to overthrow the government (BBC News: Nepal Leaders). Additionally, the literacy rate is 63%, and Nepalese people go to school for about 9 years throughout their lifetime. On average, a Nepalese person is said to live about 67 years, ranking Nepal’s life expectancy rate in the bottom lower half division compared to the rest of the world (CIA World Factbook).…
