Every state has its duty to loss and gain more for these states adopt different policies for their benefit. Foreign policy is somewhat wider than domestic policy, however they have close intimacy. Foreign policy as a part of national policy encompasses the behavior of policy taken by a country with regard to other countries as well as multilateral organizations. By observing the foreign policy one can get picture of relationship of a country with others. Foreign policy of every country has the objectives and goals based on the national interest.

  • Indo-Nepal Territorial Dispute

    Indo-Nepal Territorial Dispute

    Indo-Nepal Territorial Dispute drishtiias.com/printpdf/indo-nepal-territorial-dispute This article is based on “A line runs through it” which was published in The Indian Express on 27/11/2019. It talks about various narratives of India-Nepal territorial dispute. Recently, anti-India demonstrations were seen on the streets of Nepal over the release of a new political map of India, made after the bifurcation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) into the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh. The maps showed Kalapani (at the India-Nepal-China trijunction) to the north and Susta (bordering Bihar) to the south as Indian territory. Reason for Anti-India Sentiments Nepal and India have been bound together since ages through historical, religious, social, cultural, economic and political relations. The relationship is unique in a sense that neither country has allowed a political boundary to interrupt the free movement of people. Nepal is ruled by the Nepal Comunist Party (NCP) which has political leanings towards China. China is also actively pursuing its foriegn policy to decrease India’s influence over Nepal and mark its footprints in the territory of Nepal. 1/5 A major rupture in relations between the two countries occurred in 2015 at the time of the making of the current constitution of Nepal (which replaced the 2007 Interim Constitution). India unsuccessfully tried to pursue Nepal to amicably address the grievances of the Madheshi, Janajati and other disadvantaged groups who constitute the bulk of the Nepalese population. Since then, misunderstandings, real or imaginary, persists between the two countries which have become an advantage to some third party players in Nepal like China.
