Nepal's Strategic Significance in Changing Geopolitics of the World

-Mahendra Gautam

"Nepal is Yam between Two Boulders", the statement emerged inside the mind of a visionary king who could prophet the challenges of state existence of the country he created. Prithivi Narayan Shah, the father of modern Nepal was expansionist in the eyes of so-called postmodern progressive chauvinists of Nepal who advocate for cultural transformation by erasing what society has been offering for years. The statement bears massive significance even at present since the World politics of the century rests on two Asian giants China and India and Nepal, a buffer in-between. This geopolitical sensitivity was envisioned by a statesman way before it actually happening. Needless to say Nepal's political, diplomatic and administrative mechanism could not apprehend the fact even today. Country at present has become a massive playground of international players.
