In the world map, you cannot see the country properly you need a couple of minutes to search for a country on the world map.

Most of the people think that Nepal land area is the part of India or the Indian government ruling nation, but that is not true. 

Yeah, Indian is trying to take control in Nepal but they haven't succeeded yet

You are still thinking if the country is not in India then it must be part of china well that is also not true.

In this blog you will be going to study about the history of Nepal, where does country exactly located, country before the Indian independence, and why it is not part of India.

how much part India occupy of Nepal land area, what was the modern Nepal.

Why people think Nepal is in India or china

In the world, people easily recognize the country by their faces but people unable to recognize the Nepalese people. because Nepalese people have two faces Aryan and Mongolian face.

if the face is Aryan than it must be Indian and some other country, if the face is Mongolian than it must be Chinese or another Asian country

Is Nepal in India or china Many of the foreigners don't know where the nation is? 

If they try to search on the map they think it is one of the Indian states and some say it is part of China?

still, there is a question why it so

By religious factor

all know that the majority religion of India is Hindu and china is Buddhism well Nepal is a mixture of both religions Hindu and Buddhism.

Yeah, the majority religion of Nepal is Hindu but it is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha so it treated equally to Buddhism as Hindu. 

In this country, if people go to the temple they also go to stupa for a blessing because in this nation culture connects Hindu and Buddhist each other.

As a similar religion, their cultures also have few similarities. If there is a Hindu festival both countries celebrate the festival. If there is a Buddhist festival this also celebrate by both countries

By geographic factor

Nepal is a beautiful country it's located between two gain nation China and India, 

country	area
China	9.597 million km²
Nepal	147,516 km²
India	3.287 million km²

you can calculate yourself how small is this country

You can see how small is Nepal in size by looking at this, people think the nation is the part of India or china.

The country is divided into three regions at the north Himalayan region in the middle Hilly region and plain land called the Terai region.

The majority of terai people are Hindu their culture is similar to India, and the majority of the Himalayan region are Buddhists and their culture is similar to China.

in Asia, India is claiming that Gautam Buddha was born in India and they are capturing the Nepal land area and there is a dispute in border and china claiming that mt. Everest is in china.

India and Nepal both country share open border

Between two giant nations, Nepal is unable to identify itself in the world.

History of Nepal (formation)

Many rulers from different origins at different times ruled the sacred land. ancient time history of Nepal is divided into three different rulings 

• Kirat periods
• Licchavi periods
• Malla periods

Kirat ruling

Nepal before the east India company

is Nepal in India Before Prithvi Narayan shah initiated his unification campaign

In 1774 what we call today Nepal was roughly about 53 petty different states his knowledge of history and mythological stories.

Before unification of Nepal

Inspired him to the unification campaign all the people countrymen and brave soldiers supported him without whom he would not succeed. 

This campaign seeing these petty states  Prithvi Narayan shah's desire to reunify them into a single kingdom which was torn apart into 53 states during the time of the last rulers of the Licchavi period to the far west.

unification of great Nepal

There was Bayes Rajya (22 states) and to the midwest was Chaubisi Rajya (24  states) to the center was Kantipur Patan and Bhaktapur 

In the east side part of Chaubese Rajya was  Makwanpur Chaudandi and Vijayapur Gorkha. 

Prithvi Narayan shah started the unification campaign from the state  Prithvi Narayan shah ascended the throne of Gorkha on the third of April  1743 he unified about half the 24 states. 

The entire  Kathmandu valley around the present capital Kathmandu and additional states further east before dying on 1775  annexation.

The rest of the twenty-four state was under his son Pratap Singh Shah and grandson Rana Bhadur shah.

22 states was a former group of petty kingdom centered in the Karnali-Bheri river basin of  Modern Nepal.

The states were sovereign but intermittently allied among themselves until annexed during the unification of modern Nepal. 

After the unification

From 1744 to 1810 AD the nation's founder Prithvi Narayan shah did not live to see this but his son and grandson annexed the entire collection by the end of the eighteenth century.

Prithvi Narayan shah unified small states and how his son and grandson continued his campaign to form a present  Nepal.  

Here Nepal's territory but was stripped off by British east India company signing Sugauli treaty 

Why Nepal is not part of India

When it comes to the history of Nepal, the country was never ruled by the British or any other country.

At one time, the shah rulers in the nation went on war with the British, but this was before the establishment of British raj in India. So, it had less impact on the politics of Nepal.

Later, the  British conquest of India in the nineteenth century posed a serious threat to Nepal,

they expected to be another victim and with no alternative left, they sought an accommodation with the British to preserve its independence. 

This was accomplished by Rana family rulers after 1860, on terms that were mutually acceptable.  

Under this alliance, Kathmandu permitted recruitment of Nepalese for the Gurkha units in the British and Indian army, and also accepted  British guidance on foreign policy.

In exchange, the British guaranteed the Rana authorities of Nepal against both foreign and domestic enemies and allowed it's virtual autonomy in domestic affairs. 

And this mutually beneficial stance was further developed, and lead to the formation of the Nepal, Britain treaty of 1923. 

The first treaty between  Nepal and Britain to be recorded in the league of nations. 

The treaty made clear the international status of Nepal, the treaty declared the country as an independent, and sovereign nation.  

So, historically Nepal became an independent nation before the formation of India, which in contrast, was done by the merging of different princely states, which were under the British at that time. 

 As a landlocked country, which shares borders with both India and China, even after 1947, 

Nepal was careful in maintaining a balanced relationship with both India, as well as China, in order to eliminate any minute chance of annexation by either of these countries. 

India occupy the Nepal land area

The most unfair and discriminatory results of Anglo Nepal war and it was Sugauli treaty

The Treaty of Sugauli was signed between the Government of Nepal and the East India Company in 1815, after the Anglo-Nepal War, 

The Treaty of Peace and Friendship was popularized as the Treaty of Sugauli 1815

Lieutenant Colonel P. Bradshaw on behalf of the East India Company on 2 December 1815 by Gajaraj Misha and Chandrasekhar Upadhyay on behalf of the Government of Nepal. 

The terms of the treaty were as follows

The treaty was for many things but we are going to talk about occupy land only.

The King of Nepal would waive all claims that were the subject of discussion between the two states before the war and would accept the company's authority for the sovereignty of those lands

The king of Nepal will implement the East India Company in all previously mentioned territories 

• first part between Kali and Rapti river
• The second part of the lowland between Rapti and Gandaki except Butwal
• The entire area of the lowland area between Gandaki and Koshi which has the right of East India Company
• The fourth part of the lowlands between the Mechi to the Teesta River

In fact, this Treaty of Sugauli was in favor of the East India Company in Nepal and it suffered a great loss of its territory.

The Nepalese were very dissatisfied with this treaty, so later an agreement was reached on 8 December 1816 

full detail of Sugauli treaty

According to which Nepal land area received the Terai the entire area of the lowland between.

•  No.1 Rapti and Gandaki
•  No. 2 Gandaki and Koshi

later the remaining part of Western terai Banky Bardia Kailai and Kanchanpur were annexed to Nepal at the time of  Jung Bahadur Rana after helping the  British to demolish the revolt of 1860  in India

The same thing happen in hong kong When British left hong kong they handed over to China.

But in the case of Nepal are unable to take back their own land. India occupy many Nepal land area.

Present land dispute between India and Nepal

Border dispute means a dispute between two nations on the south side of the country, we can see more encroachment is Nepal in India.

after the independence of India in 1947, they started to increase border territory.

Encroachment increase in Dashgaha (10 yard) due to the increase of population in India deforestation happen in Nepal jungle or bush by Indian

Even the border pillar is also not found.

Country become democracy lately when democracy established in 2007 BS in Nepal

Then the encroachment started to increase in the area of Kalapana, Limpiyadhura, and Susta

and the Indian people increased encroachment by deforestation the Nepalese jungle

There are many other border areas India has captured of the Nepal land area.

Thing make Nepal different from India

There are many things that make Nepal different from India since both countries have the same religion majority but there are little thing that makes different.

The country is known as the Himalayan nation and the highest peak in the world on the north side of Nepal there is a wall of the mountain.

The country has its own culture and the world is admired by the Nepalese culture and people are very friendly compared to others.

Though they share an open border but Nepal has its own government, currency, law, rule, and regulation.

Though these are the few differences there are still a lot of things that make a difference between the two countries.
