Furious over ‘Akhand Bharat’, Nepal now stakes claim on Indian territories, Nitish’s Hajipur, Yogi’s Gorakhpur all included in Greater Nepal

A picture of the new Parliament House remains in constant discussion. In fact, a map of united India is also displayed in the new Parliament House. Seeing this new map of unbroken India, the restlessness of many countries has also increased. Neighboring country Nepal is also worried about this. In such a situation, the mayor of Kathmandu, Balendra Shah, has kept a new Greater Nepal map in his office as a counter-step. In this, many areas of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have been shown as part of Nepal. Although the Nepal government has remained tight-lipped on the issue, opposition parties including the CPN-UML have opposed the map that shows the Himalayan nation as part of the ancient Indian landmass.

Mayor Shah, currently in Bengaluru for his wife’s treatment, had kept the map in his office ahead of his visit to India. At one time, the territory of Nepal was spread from Teesta in the east to Sutlej in the west. However, after the war with the British, Nepal lost a large part of its land. After the war, the Sutlej region from Mechi to Teesta and Mahakali to Teesta was permanently merged with India. On March 4, 1816, the Sugauli Treaty was signed between Nepal and the East India Company, which limited Nepal’s territory to Mechi-Mahakali. In this new map, Gorakhpur and its adjoining areas of UP and many areas of Bihar have been shown as part of Nepal.

The map of Greater Nepal in Shah’s office includes the area of ​​East Teesta. West Kangra which is currently Indian territory. Even now voices are being raised that India should return those lands to Nepal. Nationalist activist Phanindra Nepal has been campaigning for a greater Nepal for a long time. Gagan Thapa, general secretary of the Nepali Congress, the largest party in Parliament, said on Thursday that the country should also officially publish the ‘Greater Nepal Map’.
