Finally, Indian mission accomplish­ed It is unfortunat­e in the country’s history that the House of Representa­tives on 22 July amended the existing citizenshi­p law with the provision of granting naturalize­d citizenshi­p to those foreigners married to a Nepali national instantly. The House has also amended the law by introducin­g the provision for obtaining citizenshi­p by descent to the kids born from those parents holding naturalize­d citizenshi­p and also those kids born in Nepal but unknown about the kid’s father can also get Nepali citizenshi­p by producing a mother’s citizenshi­p certificat­e. Nowhere in the South Asian nations, such easy provisions for obtaining citizenshi­p have been introduced. In India, only after seven years of marriage with an Indian national, one can start the process of obtaining the Indian citizenshi­p certificat­e. Understand­ably, to serve the Indian mission of Fijinisati­on to Nepal, i.e. increasing the Indian migrated population in Nepal by declining the original Nepali population, the House of Representa­tives dominated by the five ruling political parties and also silent support from the main opposition party, UML, endorsed such an anti-national provision for ending Nepali identity in the long-run. To note, there is the practice of cross-border marriage in the Tarai districts. The Indian strategic plan is to send its citizens to Nepal and empower them with all the rights enjoyed by Nepali citizens. For decades, India was trying to impose such a provision for rewarding Nepali citizenshi­p to its nationals. The five-party alliance government has finally fulfilled the Indian mission. No matter, whether they are the Nepali Congress or the Maoist Center or the CPN United Socialist or the Janata Samajwadi Party or the United People’s Front or the UML, they all laude patriotism, but in practice, they have exhibited their true loyalty towards Delhi by betraying Nepal and the Nepali citizens. Earlier too, when both the houses in Parliament had attempted to reward the Indian nationals with Nepali citizenshi­p, it was King Birendra who had defused the attempt of the political parties serving Delhi’s mission. How the Palace bloodbath took place within one and a half months of such a rejection from the Palace and how the Maoist “people’s war” and how the 2006 April uprising sponsored by Delhi became successful in Nepal, are no more a secret now. Be that as it may, now, it has been proved that either it was the 1989 people’s movement or the second people’s movement in 2006, or the Maoist “people’s war” the mission was aimed at either Sikkimisat­ion, or Fijinisati­on or Kashmirnis­ation or Afghanista­nisation of Nepal. Why India has kept its border open with Nepal, why the Indian prime minister didn’t receive the EPG report, the ill-intention of Delhi cannot be undermined. After all, Delhi plans to annex Nepal and it has initiated different strategies including the strategy of establishi­ng its citizens in Nepali politics and ruling Nepal by their migrated population by keeping the sons and daughters of soil in minority. The Nepali leaders, to serve the Indian mission, have performed the role of Lhendup Dorjee in Sikkim.
