Nepal has border with Tibet/China on the North and India on South, East and
West. The open border with India is one of the most disadvantaged relationship
Nepal is facing because of the lack of the regulated human movement leading
to the human trafficking, narcotics sales and illegal trade. Before 1950 there was need of the documented evidence like passport to travel to India and vice versa. But with the unequal 1950 unequal Indo- Nepal Friendship (?) treaty, the border has been kept unregulated and open. Even the sky was unregulated and only after the Indian Airlines hijack in late 1990s it has been mandatory for both the nationalities to show official identity card like passport to travel. However, it has not been the case on the land border. Had India been
serious of making good relations with her neighbor Nepal, she should have made
the fortified barriers as with Pakistan. India is benefiting more through the
unregulated open border with Nepal like encroaching land, jobs for the poor Indian fellow and mass influx of Indians getting citizenship through the nexus of the corrupt and traitorous politicians and their crooks. Millions of Indian origin people are getting citizenship cards of Nepal and that will have severe repercussions on the politics and nationalism in the coming years. There are some people fearing Nepal going to the fate of Sikkim (loss of nation) or Fiji (political power usurp by Indians). This has created deep fear among the natives of Nepal towards the hegemony from the 1950s even after its independence from the British.
But given the high hopes from Indian Premier Narendra Modi with Indo--Bangladesh Land deal India will sort out the all the border disputes with Nepal. Modi has to create the regulated borders between India and Nepal and march in the path of prosperity.
