I’d say these treaties are unfair to Nepal — a large chunk of fertile Nepalese plains are artificially flooded so that India can reap benefits from water through irrigation and powerplans.

If you pretend to support the 8-party government, then you must have no problem with this. After all, people are deciding what to do with the water source. China is not pulling any strings, because we all know that the tin-pot dictator King was pro-Chinese, while these righteous Maoist-allies in the government are for the people.

Well if its all India’s fault then why have any treaty with India at all? If you are always at a disadvantage in every treaty with Indian as you claim then why bother having a treaty. Have it your way. Do whatever yo want.

I have no problem with this or anything. I am fine with it if Nepal chooses not to have any relation with India at all.

Nepal's political parties thrive on and compete with each other by whipping up anti-India emotion with their usual rhetoric. It includes all political parties. Even the King (if he had been in power) would be no different. Nepalese wont admit but all their anti-India posturing is what defines their national character. It a national pass-time to fester their collective chip on their shoulder as regarding India. Hence any treaty with India signed by any party will likely be criticized on one pretext or another. If at all you are able to get over your anti-India hardwiring which defines your national identity, you would see it isn't really about India at all. Your politicians need someone to blame for their own incompetence.

“There are three power-generating units of 5,000 kw each and India has constructed a 15,000 kw power generating unit in Nepal’s land.

The 15,000 kw power unit was handed over to Nepal 24 years ago, but now only two of the three turbines are in operation.”

Oh that most certainly has to be India’s fault. /sarc

Had it been the case that the villages on the Nepalese side had less water instead of more, I would expect Nepal to complain that India is starving their water supply.

BTW I suppose when it suits you, you would throw your weight on the side of the “righteous Maoist-allies in the government” (by your own words). Not surprising you would now support them over this issue. For you all that matters is if they are against India.
