Winds of Change has a great post today on many things going on in South Asia, but most notably Nepal. For those of you not in the know, the King of Nepal has seized executive power and declared a state of emergency so that he could clamp down a bit on his government. India has been pressuring Nepal to slowly reform into a democracy, but this is a step in the other direction.
India has a great opportunity to reverse the flow here, but China is keeping quiet. Apparently the king closed down the Dalai Lama's office in Nepal, and the Chinese aren't crying about that.
Anyway, there's much more.
