“India” has completed its aggressive and expansionist 75 years and it has not returned our 75000 sq. km. territory occupied by it in 1947-48.

These lands are Darjeeling, Kumaon Garhwal, and our land to the Kangra in the West, Teesta in the East , Gomati and Ganga river in the South.

However , the State of Maharashtra, Khalsa( Sikh) Empire, The great land of Dravidans , Bengal, Assam, Mizoram, Goa, Panducherry , Andaman Nikobar Island , Arunachal Pradesh, Himchancal Pradesh and long land of Himalayan range is also occupied by India.

It (India) has continued to expand in the Nepalese territory. Since Nepal is run by Indian puppets, India is in the final stage of over running Nepal by its hungry population.

Nepalese people will fight back to the end of their existence and are expecting their fellow people of the Indian army to come back home and join us to thwart the Indian design.

We have a good neighbor like China. Besides South Asian neighbors like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, Afghanistan are supporting us.

However, since our borders are not connected, they cannot consider our problems very seriously. India has imposed open Border on Nepal but our neighbors doesn’t think this open border and Nepalese fighting for Indians is a serious problem not only for Nepal but also for them.

Nepal’s northern neighbor and other friendly countries don’t even understand that Nepal is being colonized by India through unequal treaties and agreements.

As, for example the treaty of 1950 between Nepal – India doesn’t have provision for open border but India has imposed it at their will and its puppet government of Nepal cannot defy Indian imposition and bulldozing.

Besides the treaty of 1950 with India was declared null and void by the then government in 1969. The most serious problems among the problems for Nepal is the obtaining of Nepalese citizenship by the Indians.

This is going on unabated since last 65 years, from Panchayat to CPN Maoist rule that distributed largest number of Nepalese citizenship to the Indians .

The Nepali Congress being the second generous political party to provide citizenship to the Indians. It is estimated that around 10 million people from various part of so called India have settled in Nepal along with their family.

Currently the coalition government of Congress-Maoist and CPN Socialist is all out to distribute the millions of Nepalese citizenship to the Indians.

The President Bidhaya Bhandari has send the citizenship bill to reconsider and amend those clauses detrimental to the Nepalese sovereignty, however this government well known for working against the nation and national interest, has boasted that this citizenship bill will be again ratified by the parliament.
