Shared Bonds, Strategic Interests: India–Nepal Relations in a Turbulent World is a thoughtful guide for anyone seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities that define the close, yet complex and occasionally tense relationship between India and Nepal. In this volume, leading scholars, diplomats and journalists from both countries offer rich historical perspectives while unpacking contemporary issues—from the shifting geo-political landscape and India–China rivalry to the impact of India’s Neighbourhood First policy on bilateral ties. The Gen Z protests of 8–9 September 2025, which led to the fall of the K. P. Oli government, are analysed through the lenses of domestic stability, upcoming elections, and evolving India–Nepal relations. The essays also explore the potential for deeper people-to-people exchanges and economic partnerships, with special attention to water resources, hydropower, the Agniveer issue, and the recruitment of Gorkha soldiers into the Indian Army. By outlining concrete pathways for a more resilient partnership amid global turbulence, this volume serves as essential reading for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in India’s neighbourhood. 📚🌐📘🤝 Shared Bonds, Strategic Interests by @RanjitRae — coming soon! 📖 #indianepalrelations #southasiapolitics #geopolitics #internationalrelations #indiaforeignpolicy #nepal #himalayanregion #neighbourhoodfirst #southasiastudies #ranjitrae #newbookalert #comingsoon
