RAJA MOHAN\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first two decades of the new millennium have witnessed a dramatic socio-political transformation of Nepal. A violent Maoist insurgency ended peacefully, a new constitution abolished the monarchy and established a secular federal democratic republic. Nevertheless, political stability and a peace dividend have both remained\u003cbr\u003eelusive. Nepal is also buffeted by changing geopolitics, including the US-China contestation for influence\u003cbr\u003eand the uneasy relationship between India and China. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a close neighbour, India has been deeply associated with the seminal changes in Nepal, and the bilateral relationship has seen many twists and turns. Partly a memoir, this book examines India's perspective on these developments, in the context of the civilizational and economic underpinnings of the India-Nepal\u003cbr\u003erelationship, as well as issues that continue to prevent this relationship from exploiting its full potential. Though there are several Nepalese accounts that deal with this subject, there are few from an Indian point of view. \u003ci\u003eKathmandu Dilemma\u003c\/i\u003e fills this gap.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRanjit Rae is a former Indian ambassador to Nepal.
