Evidence (2024-05-18): India has been clear in maintaining that Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura are integral parts of India. These territories are currently under Indian control and hold strategic significance. With India and China vying for influence in the greater Himalayas, the likelihood of India giving up any such territories is slim. [...] One, by incorporating the disputed territories into the design of its currency, Nepal is symbolically entrenching its position on the border issue. This solidifies Nepal’s stance that these territories are its own, and it will be challenging for Kathmandu to negotiate on its claims in the future. Any attempt to reach a resolution with India would require Nepal to backtrack on its public stance, which could be seen as a loss of face domestically and weaken the government’s credibility (especially for the leftist parties currently in power). Two, if a diplomatic agreement is eventually reached between New Delhi and Kathmandu, it would likely involve redrawing boundaries or revising territorial claims. However, the presence of the disputed territories on the currency means that Nepal would need to recall and replace all the newly issued notes, which can be a costly and logistical challenge.

The statement read, "[t]he Government of Nepal has consistently maintained that as per the Sugauli Treaty (1816), all the territories east of Kali (Mahakali) River, including Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipu Lekh, belong to Nepal" (emphasis added).

This irritated the company as they saw this as encroachment. And second, this meant that there was no stable, functional border that divided Nepal and the company territories. Borders shifted as and when the local elites were successful in striking the best possible bargain and realigning their relations in ways that would favor their interests.

Kanyuam, Antu Danda, Buddha Park, Fikkal, major tourism destinations in the district of Ilam, eastern Nepal, were managed by community forest users’ groups and private firms. [...] For example, the municipality was receiving Rs. 100,000 from a local community forest users’ group, the organization awarded to manage popular tourist site Antu Danda as tourism royalty. It was receiving Rs 51,000 for leasing out Kanyam, another popular tourism destination in Ilam.

Evidence (2010-02-01): It has been argued that Sughauli Treaty of 1815-16 between East India Company and Nepal can be challenged and Nepal has a strong legal case to reclaim the territories that British obtained from Nepal and never returned after they left Indian sub-continent.

It is claimed by Nepal as part of Susta rural municipality, under West Nawalparasi District in Lumbini Province.

Evidence (2024-10-09): Eventually, the whole Susta Village Panchayat of Nawalparasi district drifted towards the other side of the river, turning into the banks of the river on the Indian side. Those who had no documentary evidence and who had left their land due to a lack of citizenship went back to Susta and resumed farming in the leftover land. Also, those who were living in the bordering areas of both Nepal and India and were in search of fertile land also joined the flood victims to occupy the empty land. They started gathering support by inviting their relatives and friends. Since Susta is very fertile, it was able to easily attract people. Once it became a small village consisting of a majority of people of Nepali origin, the Nepali state tried to take ownership of this territory by putting the area under Ward No 4 of Tribeni VDC of Nawalparasi district. In fact, the Narayani River now divides the ward such that half of the territory is on the other side of the river Bankatia. One can see a chunk of unused land in Susta village, facing the Gandak barrage to the north. Documents state that both Nepali and Indian governments decided to maintain the status quo in the land since 1960s as no one knows the actual size of the disputed land since no measurement was made after the river left it behind.
