Protestors seemed to be taking a more Maoist terrorist position “banning” Royal supporters to certain areas, burning houses of those in Gnanendra’s Privy Council, and parading politicians who participated in recent elections with blackened faces. Analysts believe that this may be because the terrorists may have taken advantage of the chaos and assumed leadership of protests directing unthinking mobs into actions that they may not be inclined to take.

Indian paramilitary forces have been mobilized on the border to prevent the ex-filtration of terrorists from Nepal to India or vice-versa to create more damage to that nation. Maoists, who purportedly believe in the violence-ridden Shinning Path ideology, deem it necessary to destroy order to create a new doctrine of Governance based on their own principles. It is not clear what the Nepal terrorists’ end game is—analysts believe that it could be anywhere from a socialist state to a Pol Pot style of extermination. To that end, it is possible that terrorists from India may go to Nepal to bring down a rapidly weakening regime, which could create enormous collateral damage to Indian security.
