How King Mahendra Balanced India, China, & the US? » Subscribe our channel: / @sudheerktm1 ≈ King Mahendra's Diplomacy ≈ During King Mahendra's reign, there was a Chinese ambassador—Yang Kongshu. He was a Nepal expert in the early ranks of Communist China, who worked closely with Mahendra. Based on his experience at that time, Ambassador Yang wrote in his memoirs—King Mahendra's greatest success was being able to maintain mutual trust with India and the US while maintaining friendship with China. How was that possible? How was King Mahendra able to balance the conflicting powers like India, China, and the US? Why is it necessary to look back on that period of history now? The question of how to 'deal' with these three powerful countries is becoming the most complicated for Nepal. In this program, I have explored this topic. For detailed information on King Mahendra's diplomacy, see my latest book: 'Monks, Trade and Rebellion'. #sudheersharma #sudheersharmapodcast #kingmahendra #mahendra #diplomacy #foreignpolicy #india #china #america #nepalchina #nepalindia #nepal #royalpalace #kingbirendra #khampa #tibetan #nehru #coldwar #asia ------ » Chapters: 00:00 — Intro 01:54 — Indian Dominance 03:48 — Restoring Ties with China 07:14 — BP Koirala & Tanka Prasad Acharya 13:46 — Mahendra's China-India Policy 19:07 — Dealing with the US ------ » Our Team: Host: Sudheer Sharma Producer: Kalpana Dhakal Graphic Lead: Ankit Bhattarai Camera: Hritik Singh Thakuri ------ » And, please stay in touch: Facebook: / sudheerktm Tiktok: / sudheerktm1 Twitter: https://x.com/sudheerktm Instagram: / sudheerktm » Subscribe our channel: / @sudheerktm1
