Nepal army imports most of its weapons from foreign friendly countries. History is the proof that Nepal army include bravest soldiers. Here is the list of 5 most popular vehicles used by Nepal army. There are no modern combat tanks but still the list is impressive.The question of justice only enters where there is equal power to enforce it, and that the powerful exact what they can, and the weak grant what they must,” wrote the great Athenian historian Thucydides in History of the Peloponnesian War.Most of these interventions were justified based on the pretext that these were the superpowers and they could do whatever was necessary to maintain their respective spheres of influence. Similarly, India as a regional power justified its military intervention in East-Pakistan (now Bangladesh) on humanitarian grounds. Neither China nor the US could come to rescue their supposed ally, Pakistan. All these incidents suggest that international organizations like the UN alone are unable to stop wars, unless there is also a keen interest by great powers to do so. Throughout Nepal’s history, her reliance on her allies always turned out to be misplaced, and her military power proved to be the last resort for the country’s security. In spite of alliances, China hesitated to offer military support against the British in the Anglo-Nepal War (1814-16), while British India also remained noncommittal when Nepali Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher later planned to intervene in Tibet. China and British India rebuked Nepal’s appeal for help because the opportunity cost of helping their ally, Nepal, was less than the opportunity cost of breaking their vows, considering that providing military support to Nepal would antagonize powerful states. Indo-Nepali relations have always swung between harmony and conflict albeit without erupting into full-scale disputes, wherein India has already imposed unofficial economic blockades three times in the past 67 years in order to maintain its political leverage. It has often supported anti-government campaigns in Nepal like the Maoist movement or the recent ‘Madhesh Movement’, whenever India has felt a threat to its hegemony. The new born separatist movement of ‘Limbuwan’ has become transnational in character that not only demands territory of Nepal, but also portions of India, thus threatening territorial integrity of both Nepal and India. In a similar vein, the demand for autonomous Madheshi provinces may develop into a secessionist movement. (In fact there are already actors in Madhesh who are advocating for Madhesh as a separate country.) Escalation of these movements might bring about a situation when Indian military intervention becomes inevitable, either to quell the Limbuwan separatists or in support of separatists elements in Tarai-Madhesh against the Nepali Government. The intervention might be on the pretext of humanitarian intervention or in the name of saving the Indian Diaspora. On the other hand, increasing Tibetan refugees’ activities in Nepal has been threatening the ‘One China policy’, which might bring about a similar intervention from China’s side. - See more at: http://www.lightnepalvdo.com/videos/5-vehicles-used-by-nepal-army/#sthash.H8Kw8Gm9.dpuf
