Here are three opinions heard in a television debate on the struggle for democracy in Nepal. Which of these do you agree with and why?
Guest 1: India is a democracy. Therefore, the Indian government must support the people of Nepal who are struggling against monarchy and for democracy.

Guest 2: That is a dangerous argument. We would be in the same position as the US was in Iraq. Remember, no outside force can promote democracy.

Guest 3: But why should we bother about the internal affairs of another country? We should be worried about our business interests there, not about democracy.

Helping neighbour country is a good way to maintain good relationship and in my point of view Guest 1 is right in some way. Being as neighbour country one can’t totally neglect the other country. Having said that the argument of the Guest 2 also needs to be considered on its merit. This means that if India decides to intervene in the internal matters of Nepal excessively, then the situation would turn ugly for both the nations. External support and that too till the extent of upholding the sovereignty of Nepal would be the best course to take.
