  • Indo-Nepal Water Sharing and Trade Linkages
    INDO-NEPAL WATER SHARING AND TRADE LINKAGES Understanding Dynamics and Strategic Implications CSS Core Project By: Ishita Dutta, Samruddhi Pathak and Sonal Mitra The Centre for Security Studies Jindal School of International Affairs 1 INTRODUCTION Nepal and India share an open border, but the relationship is at its lowest due to border issues. The major disputed area is Kalapani that both Nepal and India claim. The new developments in the disputed region have resulted in conflicting interests of Nepal and India. The open border between India and Nepal plays a very important role in trade and economic profits for both nations. The relations between India and Nepal have also resulted in friendly treaties and have benefited both. In November 2019, the government of India released a new edition of the Indian political map which included the disrupted region of Kalapani within India’s border, while on June 13, 2020, Nepal’s parliament with the new amendment recognized the region as part of Nepal on the new map. The Kalapani region is of great significance in South Asian diplomacy as a tri-junction between Nepal, India, and China. The new road built by India passing through the disputed region of Kalapani region and resulted in a bilateral crisis between the two nations in 2020. Nonetheless, India’s new road, up to the Lipulekh pass, is not an unprecedented change in the status quo. India has controlled this territory and built other infrastructure here before, besides conducting its administration and deploying military forces up to the border pass with China1. The border dispute is politically charged in Nepal and plays an important role in domestic politics.
