The kind of close relations India has shared with any other county.

But these relations have begun to sour over the past few years and days.

** Further more, the prime minister of Nepal has accused India of occupying dispute  is brewing between both the countries.

So, what is this border dispute ?

 Why did it start? And who is right in this scenario- INDIA OR NEPAL?

INDIA-NEPAL BORDER DISPUTE

This controversy starts due two events when:

*Nepal came out with a new map of there country within it, they included an area which they had not earlier on 31st may 2020.

If  you look at their new map, this area is a triangular shaped disputed area in the north western tip of Nepal.

*This area is the eastern most tip of Uttarakhand 

* This entails an area around 300 square kilometers.

*And the north most village/place is limpiyadhura.

*The south-eastern part of it is lipulekh pass.

*Gunji lines in the south west and the kalpani in the south.

So this area has been defined on the basis of three places-LIMPIYADHURA,LIPULEKH AND KALAPANI.

Nepal believes that this area rightfully belongs to Nepal whereas as India believes it is india's.

* The second event happened on 8th may 2020, when the indian defense minister inaugurated a new road, this road was around 80 kilometers along the India-Nepal border through this disputed area uptil lipulekh.

* The purpose of this road was to aid the people an the kailash mansarovar yatra as per claims.Because above tis disputed area lies Tibet, where the kailash mansarovar is situated.

Before the construction of this road, the yatris had to go to the kailash mansarovar via sikkim. It was a trek of 5days.

After the construction of this road, they will reach china's border in a car.

which will be followed by a mere 2 day trek.

* The road passes through territory at the lipulekh pass that Nepal claims as its own territory.

** After the inauguration of this road, the Nepal government was upset as they believed that if India had to construct this road, they should have consulted the Nepal first and work out an agreement before doing this.

*In response to this, the external of affair minister of India said that this area com completely  under the territory of India and therefore they did not hold a consultation with Nepal.

This was not require because they had constructed a road within their own territory.

*Further upset the people in Nepal government release this New Map which bought the entire dispute to light.

*So, the question is that why is this disputed region actually disputed ? And which country does it rightfully belong to ? Let us go through this history first.
