| Summary/Abstract |
The blockade following adoption of the new constitution stoked up anti Indian sentiment in Nepal .Instability in the Nepalese territory bordering India might encourage other neighbours to use the terrain for activities adversarial to India’s interests. Trade and commercial relation with Nepal will be hampered .Terai region being the conduit for India- Nepal business operations; a troubled Terai will be unfavourable for congenial bilateral relationship as well as regional stability. In view of these factors India cannot maintain passive indifference but engage Nepal strengthening its democratic institutions and dispelling the misperceptions for the benefit of both the countries.
