Where are Nepal-India relations heading?

The foreign policy of the Nepal Communist Party government has been a blanket failure.

Nepal-India relations are in an unprecedented gridlock. It belies the much-touted 'uniqueness' in bilateral relations which are believed to have matured through innumerable vicissitudes since time immemorial. But in reality, the two nations still appear incapable of even initiating a meaningful diplomatic dialogue to resolve disputes over commonplace contentions akin to any neighbouring countries in the world; like the current one, the Kalapani-Limpiyadhura border issue. More worrisome is deliberate and prolonged disengagement from both sides and imperviousness to rescue the relations before it is too late. On the contrary, both governments have fuelled mistrust and allowed overtly provocative nationalistic politics to stray from the core contention.
