Nepal India

Nepalese territories are in India as a colony. In Glimpses of the World History, a book written by the prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru, it has been clearly mentioned that those territories belonged to Nepal. Similarly the treaty signed between Britain and Sikkim in 1817 has accepted this. In 1960 UN passed a decolonization resolution. It says that the territory of a country kept as colony by another country must be freed. India should have handed back the territory according to this resolution too. Nepal should have demanded it. But neither of them did so. But still we can present this as strong evidence. The Gorkhaland movement in Darjeeling has clarified that there is no legitimate basis for annex Darjeeling to India. In 1986 May 12 the Gorkhaland movement began in the district of Darjeeling that lies between Mechi and Tista. Many Nepalese died in the moment. Subash Ghising, the leader of the moment send a letter to the king of Nepal Briendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev pleading that Darjeeling belonged to Nepal and that they were his subjects. But the king did not send any response. In 1991, Ghising wrote to the Indian Prime Minister to clarify the legitimate status of Darjeeling. He also sent a letter to the then prime minister of Nepal Girija Prasad Koirala. When all went vain, he knocked the door of the Indian Apex Court. When the Gorkhaland movement was going on, Ghising filed a case in Supreme court of India. He had filed it according to article 1-3-c of the Indian Constitution. Constitutionally, according to the article, Darjeeling would have to be decided as belonging to Nepal. To avert this, the court said that it was political issue. This implied that it would have to be settled politically. So practically, Nepal would never raise the issue.
