Opinion | India’s Jaishankar is deep in Nepali leadership’s psyche is among the main developments being tracked today. Recent diplomatic outreach has prompted a reassessment in Kathmandu of Delhi’s role nearly 11 years ago and how those perceptions have evolved since.
S Jaishankar is not a name that has sat well in the Nepali psyche since 2015.
His September 2015 visit to Kathmandu as a special envoy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came just days before Nepal promulgated its new constitution.
The visit, during which Jaishankar held a series of meetings with the country’s top political leaders and conveyed New Delhi’s reservations over the charter, was followed by a border blockade that left a lasting scar on the Nepali public memory.
For years, the episode shaped how many in Nepal viewed both Jaishankar and India’s approach to its northern neighbour.
He became a name that symbolised one of the most difficult chapters in Nepal-India relations.
For Indian political coverage, the most important question is whether the development changes governance priorities, party strategy, parliamentary work, electoral positioning or the public record around a policy decision.
