We have to remember that there is an open border between India and Nepal and often this is the route terrorists have taken to infiltrate into India. Given this fact India would naturally be concerned with Nepal's growing friendship with China. The only option left for India would be make Visa mandatory for Nepalis and also close the border or else we will have Chinese will have an easy access to come into Indian territory ! India is right in showing its concerns now that Nepal will be a secular state and if it is going to be on Indian model then we need to seriously worry about our safety ..

True, now people have started opposing what is all happening in India in the name of intolerance.

I believe that there are two drivers which influence
one's decision to opt for learning a language-
one is the practical need and other is love or
passion for it.One lead to acquiring bare minimum
acquaintance and the other leads to learning,
acquiring proficiency and mastery of it.So when
I say I know it I am making too tall a claim by having
a smattering of knowledge of a language. Knowledge means
knowing the grammar,vocabulary, peculiar turns
of expression, figures of speech and the treasure
of literature of a language. Hope I am clear on
my points!

Realation depends on mutual interest and respect for sovereignty of each other. Nepal is a self respecting sovereign country. India has to respect sovereignty of Nepal and not interferein internal matters. If India respects sovereignty of Nepal and doesnot interfere with her internal issues, therelations should be smooth.
we need to rememberthat there are no peranent friends. Thereare permanent interests.
Interference in the internal matters of Nepal, and raising concerns on this issue by India is the cause of strained relations between India and Nepal.India asked Nepal Government to make seven changes in its constitution, which should have been avoided.

When I was working in a Major Public sector steel plant in the state of Odisha, , we the employees used to talk in English. But, when I go for inspection to check the Quality standards of the the products in the other Units, it becomes necessary to communicate with the workmen, who deal with the manufacturing process.
As a Metallurgical Assistant in the quality control wing of Research and Control department , it's one of my duties to check the Quality standards of the products.
It's where the necessity of knowing at least working knowledge in the local language to make my work easier and smooth. Another advantage in learning local language is that the work men who are mostly uneducated will be happy and hasten the work process, if you speak in their own language.

@anil and @rambabu My father took lot of pain to make me learn Bengali. Speaking was never a problem because at home we speak in Bengali. In school I studied Hindi, Sanskrit and English so I was never interested to learn to read and write Bengali. My father used to say that I must learn my mother tongue. Just before the summer vacation he bought me Bengali Alphabet book and after the school reopened I never opened the book and by the next summer it got lost but my father never got tired. Again he used to buy during the next vacation. This way my learning process used to take place and one fine day it was noticed that I have learnt to read as well as write Bengali though my writing is still very bad. Later, after learning to read Bengali I always loved to read Bengali story books which has helped me to learn the language better.

I agree. But sometimes you need to learn only a few things like numbers and salutaion in a local language for working purpose. If you are at new place even a little knowledge of sentences required for routine communication may help.
