"One of Nepal?s most highly regarded journalists, the Founder Editor of
Himal Southasian, Kanak Mani Dixit, says he is 'flummoxed' by the Nepal
election results which he said are 'not just a landslide but  upheaval'.
The BBC?s assessment of the result suggests that Balendra Shah and his
Rashtriya Swatantra Party could have won 182 out of 275 seats, which is a
two-thirds majority. If you wish to understand the enormity of what has
happened in Nepal and also get some sense of Balendra Shah, the new Prime
Minister, the challenges he faces, the sort of relationship he will seek
with India, China and the USA, this is an interview I suggest you should
watch."
