With India accounting for over 98% of Nepal’s petroleum imports and over 60% of its total trade, why do diplomatic strains between the two nations continue to persist?

Is economic interdependence failing to translate into strategic trust?
The Bhagwant Mann Government says Punjab has attracted ₹1.89 Lakh Crores in investment proposals over four years, with an employment potential of 6.31 Lakhs jobs. But these are proposed investments and projected employment, not proof that all the jobs have already been created. At the same time, drugs remain a major political and social issue in Punjab, with the Government and opposition continuing to debate whether current efforts are working. So the real question for 2027 is: Has Punjab’s investment push actually created enough jobs for its youth and has it done enough to reduce the conditions that keep young people vulnerable to drugs ?
भगवंत मान सरकार का कहना है कि पंजाब ने चार वर्षों में ₹1.89 लाख करोड़ के निवेश प्रस्ताव आकर्षित किए हैं, जिनसे 6.31 लाख नौकरियों की संभावना है। लेकिन ये प्रस्तावित निवेश और अनुमानित रोजगार हैं, यह साबित नहीं करता कि सभी नौकरियां वास्तव में पैदा हो चुकी हैं। दूसरी ओर, पंजाब में नशा अब भी एक बड़ा राजनीतिक और सामाजिक मुद्दा है। सरकार और विपक्ष लगातार इस बात पर बहस कर रहे हैं कि मौजूदा प्रयास कितने प्रभावी हैं। तो 2027 का असली सवाल है: क्या पंजाब के निवेश अभियान ने युवाओं के लिए पर्याप्त वास्तविक नौकरियां पैदा की हैं, और क्या इससे युवाओं को नशे की ओर धकेलने वाली परिस्थितियों को कम करने में पर्याप्त मदद मिली है ?
The Aam Aadmi Party Government in Punjab has repeatedly taken to the streets over issues involving the Centre, central agencies and opposition parties. Recent protests over Enforcement Directorate searches are another example, with the party saying it will use both legal and street action. That raises an intriguing question: When the party in power is also regularly protesting, is it using protest as a political tool or should a government be spending more time solving issues from inside the system ?
