"Nepal was the world's only Hindu state until 2008 but was declared secular once the Maoists ousted the monarchy."
That's contrary to actual facts. Nepali monarchy was ousted by democratic opposition - massive protests on the Kathmandu streets. First, the King restored the dissolved parliament and then the parliament, in stages, would do away with the monarchy altogether. Of course, the Maoists would also in the meanwhile join the democratic opposition giving up their decade long insurgency. And Nepal was declared a secular republic by its democratically elected parliament. The report, however, provides a revealing peek into what the Modi Brigade expects of him in terms of foreign policy, in relation to smaller neighbours in particular. The Hindutva aspect is of course no news.
