The Politics of Indo-Nepal Map

Telore Babasaheb Haridas

Abstract: India has built a road to LipuLekh Pass. This has led to a war of words between India and Nepal. The 80 km route from Ghatiyabgarh to Lipulekh in Uttarakhand started on May 8. This route is close to the tri-junction where the borders of India, Nepal and China meet. The Lipulekh pass route will save the time of Indian pilgrims going to Kailash Mansarovar. In a cabinet meeting chaired by Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Nepal approved the new map. According to this new map, Lipulekh, Kalapani, Limpiyadhura etc. are shown in Nepal. These parts are within the borders of India. India has not yet given an official response to Nepal's aggression. Lipulekh is the border of India, Nepal and China. So this part is of special importance. Nepal's Prime Minister KP Oli has warned that they will be brought back on the map of Nepal in any case.
