This refers to an article titled "Instability in Nepali communities" published on February 13, 2002, TKP.

Debasis Upadhyay’s article was very revealing. That India’s grand design unleashed against the people of Nepali origin to evict from northeast India has become a reality. I myself am a Nepali who was born, brought up and educated in India’s Manipur state. Unfortunately, we could no longer live in that state after the 1980’s agitation. My father immediately bought a piece of land in Jhapa and got his citizenship certificate made. I returned to Nepal when I completed my higher studies. But I have still relatives there who narrate their sufferings whenever they visit us. Indian army personnel suspect local Nepalese that they provide shelter to insurgents, and vice versa. Army personnel have physically tortured local Nepalese. The Nepalese have been sandwiched between the army and insurgents in northeast India. Since 1990, most of the educated Nepalese youths have begun moving to Nepal as a result of violence.

India is gradually disintegrating. More and more states seem being alienated from Delhi. If Nepalese from Darjeeling and Sikkim raise armed struggle for their sovereign rights, which may happen soon, then India may experience Soviet like disintegration. Because the Maoist problem which has begun in Nepal will not spare Sikkim and Darjeeling either. Certainly a few Biharis sitting in Delhi cannot command and keep India united.
