I am sure many of you must have read about Hindu priests being removed from the Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu.
Seems like a innocuous happening in Nepal. However little thought will show how it neatly fits into the “String of pearls” strategy that China has been pursuing, an successfully encircling India.
Whats “String of pearls”?
Each “pearl” in the “String of Pearls” is a nexus of Chinese geopolitical influence or military presence. Hainan Island, with recently upgraded military facilities, is a “pearl.” An upgraded airstrip on Woody Island, located in the Paracel archipelago 300 nautical miles east of Vietnam, is a “pearl.” A container shipping facility in Chittagong, Bangladesh, is a “pearl.” Construction of a deep water port in Sittwe, Myanmar, is a “pearl,” as is the construction of a navy base in Gwadar, Pakistan. Port and airfield construction projects, diplomatic ties, and force modernization form the essence of China’s “String of Pearls.” The “pearls” extend from the coast of mainland China through the littorals of the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, across the Indian Ocean, and on to the littorals of the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf. China is building strategic relationships and developing a capability to establish a forward presence along the sea lines of communication (SLOCs) that connect China to the Middle East

Happenings in Pashupatinath temple:
It is regarded as the most sacred temple of Shiva (Pashupati) in Nepal. “Shivaratri” or night of lord Shiva is the most important festival celebrated in this temple. Along the shores of the Bagmati river near the temple lies “Arya Ghat”, the most widely used place of cremation for the deceased in Nepal, especially in and around the Kathmandu valley.
The priests who perform the services at this temple are always Brahmins from South India. This tradition is supposed to have started by Sage Shankaracharya in 6th century, ostensibly to stop human sacrifice which was prevalent in that temple. Another interpretation is that Indian priests are stationed at Pashupatinath because when the King passes away, the entire Nepali people are supposed to stop religious services and enter a year long period of mourning.

The clearly means that India had some religious influence over the happenings in the most important temple in Nepal. The commie masters of Prachanda would never like that. So what do you do to fix the problem? Muscle your way in. Thats how commies do things all over the world. Thuggery and muscle power. The commies dont belive in any religion and abhor religious practices. Why? Since religious centers can develop into centers of power and influence over peoples minds outside of the commie party ideology which likes to make robots of its citizens, Bengal being an example (except Mamta Banerjee ofcourse)
Sadly India so far has exhibited no response, no spine at all in countering such moves. Sad….very sad.
