  • Nepal-India Relations: Beyond Realist and Liberal Theoretical Prisms
    Journal of International Affairs Vol. 3, 84-102, 2020 Doi: https://doi.org/10.3126/joia.v3i1.29085 Department of International Relations and Diplomacy Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal Nepal-India Relations: Beyond Realist and Liberal Theoretical Prisms Karun Kishor Karki Hari KC Abstract Taking, as a point of departure, the historical narratives that tout Nepal-India relations as based on mutual respect of each other’s sovereignty, we provide a critical reflection upon the flaws of such a single uncritical discourse that not only risks the danger of creating stereotypes but also leaves it incomplete and misleading. Although many aspects of the Nepal-India relations indeed predate the origin of the modern nation-state, any historical discourse that downplays the realpolitik in these relations leaves the story untold about India being a hegemon interfering in Nepal’s internal affairs and obstructing Nepal’s social, economic and political progression. From a neocolonial lens, we provide snapshots of the ways and instances in which India has infringed upon Nepal’s sovereignty and independence. Key Words: Nepal-India relations; foreign policy; bilateral relations; border dispute; South Asia; grand narrative; realism; liberalism; neocolonialism; hegemony 84 Karun Kishor Karki & Hari KC / Nepal-India Relations: Beyond … Vol. 3, 84-102, 2020 Introduction Some images implanted into the consciousness of the Nepalese during their formative high school years are those of Nepal as the Shangri-La, characterized by the phrase ‘sundar, shanta, bishal’ (beautiful, peaceful, great), the land of the valiant Gurkhas, and the nation never colonised by foreign powers. History textbooks chime in, hailing the cordiality and co-existence inherent in Nepal-India relations that predated the origin of modern nation-states.

  • Socio-Economic Impacts of Tourism in Lumbini, Nepal: a Case Study
    Socio-economic Impacts of Tourism in Lumbini, Nepal: A Case Study Pradeep Acharya∗ 1. Introduction Tourism is a very familiar affair in human life. It has been an industry of vast dimensions and ultimately supports economic growth and social development. In order to promote tourism in Nepal, the ninth five year plan has made a 20 year long strategic programme. The main objective of this programme is to develop Nepalese tourism up to the desirable standard. As far as the 20 years long-term tourism policy is concerned, our government has decided to increase the arrival of tourists in average 12, 47,830 every year. And expected income of foreign currency to be 1663.6 million dollar every year. And the average staying of the tourists extended up to 15 days (Nepal Tourism Board, 2000). The Ninth five-year plan says the government is serious about the uplifting of Nepalese tourism, which needs great care and protection. "For the constant development of the Nepalese tourism, it has been commonly decided to give equal priority to some other factors, which do also affect the tourism sector directly. Such as development and expansion of tourism sites, necessary infrastructure for tourism, promotion of tourism market, improvement in civil aviation, protection of environment and involvement of private sector in the promotion of Nepalese tourism, etc" (The People’s Review 2001). Hence long term vision is to promote village tourism for poverty alleviation including ecotourism and domestic tourism. Recent development on tourism is highly concentrated on development of trained human resources which is based on quality of services provided to tourists.
