Overview
In recent decades, Nepal's history has been marked by tumultuous events and transformations, and its relations with India by sharp fluctuations. From the Maoist insurgency to the hijacking of IC 814, from the Palace Massacre that wiped out King Birendra and his entire family to the coup by King Gyanendra against democracy, among others, the much-vaunted India–Nepal 'special relationship' has repeatedly experienced setbacks, some of them with long-term implications.
