Kalapani , lipulek,limpiyadhura are part of Nepal.proved

 Kalapani is the region that lies next near the western boundary of nepal.according to sugauli treaty,kalapani clearly is the part of nepal.but the region like kalapani,lipulekh,limpiyadhura are being encroached by india since a long time and now.

In the new map of india it has included kalapani inside its own boundries.

Since when and how was kalapani encroached?

Why is india knowlingly doing so?

                                                                      The story begins from sugauli treaty of 1816. According to article 5  “ “The Rajah of nepal renounces for himself and his heirs,and sucessors all  claNEPALIim to or connection with the countries lying to the west of the river kali and engages never to have concern with those countries or inhabitants thereof.””” of sugauli treaty the western boundary of nepali is kali(mahakali). These means the source of kali river Is the tri-junction point of nepal,india and china. The source of kali river is limpiyadhura that lies 16 km farther from kalapani. Also it must have been named kali because its origine from rocked mountain of limpiyadhura. And all the areas like kuti, gunji, navi are also of nepal. Long ago people of kuti paid tax in nepal. This region is also called “small kailash”. Nepali people used to bath in parvati lake here and worship parvati temple.

Later on , india declare one artificial pond to be the source of kali river and claimed all the region western to this. To strengthen this claim,it also built a kali temple. Construction material were brought with helicopter in areas like kuti and army camps,road,government office were built.later on india placed these region in almora district .

Of course,sugauli treaty had no map.the origine place of kali river is also not described in it because it was not necessary at all. It was cleared ,the source of kali is limpiyadhura and it still is.

This is just of forcibly induced confusion.there are more than sufficient proof of this.

From 1816 to 1856

All maps show limpiyahhura as the source of kali.

Map of india published from london in 1816 AD.

Similarly,map prepared by captain web in 1819 AD.

Map by hydrographer james horsh survey in 1827 AD.

And then map released by survey general of india in 24 april,1856 AD. to create confusion regarding map published began to have intrtnational differences.In the map published by general of india 1856,instead of a tri-junction point at limpiyadhura by following kali river as the boundry . A small river  following from lipulek was made  the boundry and lipulek was made tri-junction.

Lipulek is very important region for trade. This pass is much easier than other pass for tibet. Every year from  1^st  june to 31^st october trade between india and china is being constructed through lipulek pass.

Kalapani was encroched from 1962 by india using it’s military.

In 1952 Nepal gave permission to place indian armies in its northern boundry.In indo-china war of 1962 india made a bunker in kalapani and placed its camp. There were 18 indian camps including kalapani in nepal. When nepal asked to remove the armies from it’s region .india removed them all the place except  kalapani and even tii now kalapani is under military control.

The main region for this is kalapani stratiges importance.

When war is being fought in mountain region the armies in hight have huge  benefit.they can easily target the armies below .kalapani have same kind of advantage and due to this region during indo-china war of 1962 AD china didn’t attack at kalapani at all. And seeing this benefit ,india didn’t leave the place.

Now, recently in november 2,2019 in the new mao released by survey of india. India has included kalapani within it’s boundry.this act is shame for both country as well. If nepal had strictly taken any  action against india at those days .these things would not happen in present. Mistake were done by nepal as well which resulted to this.thus by correcting these mistake action should be taken such that these things don’t repeat in future days.also not only kalapani ,talk should be done with india to bring back all nepalese land upto limiyadhura.

Nepal was unable to publish it’s map from long time.

From 1827 -1856 india use to publish nepal map in which kalapani and lipulek lies in nepal.but in 1865  kalapani was not put inside nepal map.
