Himalpariko Huri (हिमालपारिको हुरी) By Sudheer Sharma

Himalpariko Huri (हिमालपारिको हुरी: गणतन्त्रपछि फेरिएको नेपाल-चिन सम्बन्ध) offers a deep exploration of the evolving relationship between Nepal and China in the post-republic era. Written by noted Nepali journalist and political analyst Sudheer Sharma, the book examines how Nepal's political shift to a republic has altered its diplomatic, economic, and strategic ties with China. It presents an in-depth analysis of the growing Chinese influence in Nepal and its impact on Nepal's internal politics, border issues, and foreign policy, especially in light of regional power dynamics with India and the global stage.

Sharma meticulously traces the historical backdrop of Nepal-China relations, focusing on the post-2008 republican era, and how China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and infrastructure projects are reshaping Nepal’s economy and governance. The book also sheds light on the domestic political developments in Nepal that have led to closer ties with China, offering readers a nuanced understanding of these complex geopolitical shifts.
