Royal Mess For India

Though India did wake up to rap King Gyanendra on the knuckles on Wednesday, it took an uncharacteristically long time doing so. After efforts to persuade the king to step back from autocracy while he was on vacation proved unsuccessful, the government wasn't left with much of a choice.
Ideally, India would have preferred a king-plus-parties combine to counter the Maoists. But that did not happen. Instead, the king turned out to be the biggest obstacle to peace and democracy.
And with the West looking to India to guide the chaos into democratic order, the government had to fine-tune its response. Though it did not give up its opposition to the Maoists, it worked on the conviction that they should be brought into the political process rather than targeted militarily.
Foreign secretary Shyam Saran and Indian ambassador to Nepal Shiv Shankar Mukherjee, who earlier led the diplomatic effort to try to talk the king out of his present policies, managed to keep the IB-army establishment — which wanted to back the king because they perceived Maoists as the bigger threat — from actively opposing their policies.
But two things are still necessary, point out analysts. First, a Plan B — which, sources say, India has been working on. According to Nepal watcher S D Muni, "India needs to work towards setting up of an interim government."
To be fair, Indian officials are working hard to sort out the disarray. The worry is that if protests continue at their present rate, the call for democracy may get more radicalised, propelling the Maoists into centrestage.
An official said, "We are trying to prevent a situation where Maoists and political parties get into a wrangling match."
There are informal proposals to get some key EU countries to impose "smart sanctions" or "visa bans" on the Nepalese royal family and the top generals of the Royal Nepalese army as a public shaming exercise.
The International Crisis Group (ICG), a conflict management NGO, will propose in a forthcoming report that an external contact group, led by India, be set up.
This could negotiate a peace process and help the Nepalese set up a constituent assembly. Rhoderick Chalmers, ICG's pointperson for Nepal, said the immediate need is for a "benign monitoring" of the present tinder-box situation.
Another issue will be reining in the RNA from becoming an absolute power in the Nepal vaccum. Here, the Indian army has a big role to play, having been mentors of the RNA for years.
You notice the king is nowhere in the picture. Gyanendra may have written the monarchy out of Nepal's future history.
