Indian Encroachment On Nepalese Territory


The total area of Nepal is 1,47,181 sq km in official records. But thanks to Indian encroachment the total area of our country has been gradually shrinking and the official area remains intact only in official records. Records show that India has encroached about 59,970 hectares (599.7 sq km) of land at 54 places in 21 districts bordering with the Indian territory.
News of Indian encroachment creates headlines in the Nepali media every now and then and the frequency of such news seems to be growing exponentially with an encroachment issue making headlines almost every month.
No government has made any significant effort to check this expansionism strategy that has created a threat to the sovereignty of the country. The cause behind this inefficiency may be numerous. Political and economical dependence on India is the most significant factor. Nepal depends upon its huge neighbor not only for trade but also for political improvements.
There are various reasons for this current diplomatic situation of the country. The inefficient governance and geographical location too has assisted India to squeeze the size of its already small neighbor.
But we, the general Nepalese too are equally responsible for this current dependency on India. Almost all of us give bitter comments when the topic is about Indian policy towards Nepal but we prefer the made in India tag to the made in Nepal tag in all our goods. We openly criticize the Indian expansionism policy and still if all citizens of the country are forced to take off all Indian clothes half of the country will be naked. Nationalism for us has become limited only in talks and not in deed. Why not discourage the use of Indian goods in our homes and reduce dependency on India rather than just to vent anti Indian sentiments. Lets try and promote our own goods even if they may lag behind a bit in quality. May be with increased use the quality too improves.
