Nepal's readiness to hold talks by showing the map issued by India in different periods as per the Sugauli Treaty
Kathmandu: Even though it suddenly disappeared from the map of Nepal in 2032 BS, the map issued from India from 1819 to 1894 has clearly found the head of Limbiadhura, the source of the river Kali. The government has stated that the old maps of India confirm that Limbiyadhura is the source of Kali while India is collecting water from the small creek of Kalapaniwari after India grabbed 335 sq km of Limpiyadhura and 60 sq km of Nepali land in Kalapani area.
fter setting up a military camp on Nepali land in Tilsi, India had built a lake by collecting water from a small creek. He has been laying black stone inside the artificial lake and calling it the source of Kali. On the same basis, India is claiming that Nepal's land has not been encroached upon. The Indian maps, published at various stages based on the Sugauli Treaty, contradict India's current claim.
The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation had submitted five maps of India as evidence in its proposal to make public the administrative and political map prepared by the Council of Ministers including Limpiyadhura on May 19.
Map of Kumaon Province
The oldest Indian map found to confirm that Limpiyadhura belongs to Nepal is from 1819, issued by the province of Kumaon. This is the first map found by Nepal since the Sugauli Treaty in 1816. The map released by the Survey of India clearly shows Limpiyadhura as the source of the river Kali.
Map of Kumaon and Garhwal
In 1827, the Survey of India issued a map of Kumaon and Garhwal. The map could be another strong piece of evidence that Nepal will present when negotiating for the return of lost Nepali land.
Map of the western states of India
The second page of the Sugauli Treaty signed between the then East India Company and the Government of Nepal on March 4, 1816 states that the Kali River and the territory east of it would belong to Nepal. Since then, Limpiyadhura has been mentioned in the Indian and Nepali maps published continuously. Accordingly, in the map of the western province of Hindustan issued in 1830, the mouth of the river Kali flowing from Limpiyadhura is clearly mentioned as the border of Nepal. The map depicts Kali as the Nepal-India border river and its source is Limpiadhura.
Map of Kumaon and Garhwal 1859
In all the maps published before 1856, there is factual evidence that Limbiyadhura is considered to be the source of Kali. But in 1859, the Indian side seems to have misbehaved. In a map compiled by the Survey of India at that time, a river coming from Lipulek Bhanjyang has been considered as the Nepal-India border and Limbiyadhura has been shifted to India.
No reason has been found as to why India did so. However, the Survey of India released the maps of Kumaon and Garhwal, contradicting the self-made map. Like the map drawn in 1827, the Kali river has been demarcated on the Nepal-India border.
Map of Kumaon State 1894
The Survey of India again updated the map of the state of Kumaon in 1894. That map has also confirmed that the land of Limpiyadhurayata belongs to Nepal.
Various types of maps are being made public to confirm that the border between Nepal and India is Limpiadhura. But the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation's discussions with border experts at various stages, the historical documents that have emerged and the five maps of India obtained from the findings show that Nepal's land has been encroached by India. With this evidence, the government has issued an administrative and political map by approving the map proposed by the ministry. According to the new map, a proposal to amend the constitution has been taken to the parliament to change the Nissan seal.
In the last political map released by India last October, the land from Limpiyadhura to Kalapani in Nepal was taken over. After that, an atmosphere against Indian encroachment has been created in Nepal. The problem of land encroachment is old.
When the team of the Survey Department went to Kalapani area in 2045 BS to survey the country, the army there did not allow them to move forward and the officials of both the countries had decided to solve the land issue through immediate talks. However, the land issue of Kalapani and Sustal areas was aggravated due to the inability to hold the meeting. From which the citizens of the border area continued to suffer.
New political and administrative map of Nepal
As India has crossed the border in violation of the Sugauli Treaty and the subsequent supplementary treaty, Nepal is ready to hold talks by showing the map issued by it in different periods. Until 2032, India had been publishing the map of Nepal.
The Sugauli Treaty, its supplementary treaty, the map of Nepal issued by the Survey of India in 1857, the agreement to return Banke, Bardia, Kailali and Kanchanpur on November 1, 1860, and the Nepali map demarcating the Duduwa area of Dang on January 7, 1875. Is Apart from the map, there is a lot of evidence that Nepal still has Limpiadhura. According to Minister for Land Management Padma Aryal, the receipt of crop payment by the citizens of the area, the 2015 voter list, the 2018 census and the diplomatic notes exchanged between the two countries at different times have provided a basis for the Nepali side to present strong facts in the Nepal-India talks.
Foreign Minister Pradip Gyawali has also said that Nepal is ready to hold talks with India on the basis of facts and evidence. However, according to high-level government sources, after Nepal released the new map, both India and Nepal have been publicly reacting, but the dialogue has not moved forward in a diplomatic manner. After the release of the political map from India last October, India has been replying to the letter sent by Nepal repeatedly proposing talks.
