passed by Nepalese Parliament. The possibility that MSS was behind the move cannot be ruled out.
The promoters of ‘Greater Nepal’ claim the territory from India but do not mention about the areas of Tibet which were also won over by Gorkha army in the wars fought with Tibetan army in 1789 to 1791. The Chinese defeated Gorkhha army in 1792 in Sino-Nepalese War and Gorkhas had to vacate the Tibetan territory. Although the Nepalese claim Indian territory under ‘Greater Nepal’ but the effective presence of Gorkha army was only for few years. The Gorkhali presence in Garhwal was for 12 years, Kumaon 24 years and Sikkim 33 years.
Besides Nepal the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’ may also get support from Sikkim and Nepali-speaking people residing in southern Bhutan. In 1991, a Greater Nepal Committee was also constituted in Kathmandu. The committee wrote letters to embassies of different countries in Kathmandu, emphasising that India should return Nepali territories situated in east of Mechi river and west of Mahakali river. The committee’s aim was to build a public opinion in favour of ‘’Greater Nepal’ in Nepal as well as abroad.
At present neither government nor the main political parties support the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’. Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda Chairman of Nepal Communist Party and two times Prime Minister stated in an interview to an important newspaper that the concept of Greater Nepal was ‘a media stunt’. The Nepali Congress leader and former Prime Minister late Girja Prasad Koirala was more straight forward when he told the journalists that the concept of ‘Greater Nepal’ is “a product of unstable mind”.
It is a fact that at present there is not much support to the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’ in the Himalayan kingdom. But the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’ has support of anti-India forces in Nepal and the pro-Chinese lobby also tries to exploit it to generate anti-India sentiments. The intelligence sources claim that MSS agents also actively support the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’.
Secondly India’s nemesis Pakistan also alleges that India is an expansionist country and not yielding to the rightful claim of its neighbour Nepal. It will instigate Nepal to raise the issue in diverse international forums. Here it will not be out of point to mention that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan telephoned to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in July 2020 and desired to have close relations between both the countries. Imran Khan called his counterpart in Bangladesh when the relations between Dacca and New Delhi were little tense.
India is averse to the idea of ‘Greater Nepal’ as geographically it would control water resources, hydropower, tourism etc. which may be harmful for India.
Hence Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) should keep an eye on this anti-India movement in Nepal as well as its influence abroad especially in United Nations and other international organisations. MEA can also take help of Indian intelligence agencies in knowing the details of the movement and also to ascertain the role of Indian adversaries especially China and Pakistan.
