-- Historical records of the survey of India Vol-III (1815-1830) shows a map of Kumon on page no. I have removed a bunch of stuff about Kuthi Yankti as being "real Kali". [15] In September of that year, Nepal agreed with India that all border disputes, including Kalapani, would be resolved through bilateral talks. I notice that a gallery of maps has been recently added, whose captions I have I don't want to get into direct editing as I don't have access to all the sources, or time to look into all of them. I read it today, having suddenly noticed that it is way back from 1976, before all these disputes emerged. The new boundary moving away from Lipu Khola follows the southern divide of Pankhagadh Khola and then moves north along the ridge. 6. So we can't be sure that it is Webb's version of the map, precisely. (One checkpost may have been withdrawn earlier and although most sources refer to 18 checkposts, it is possible that one initially planned was not deployed, though there are some indications that at one stage the number might have gone up to 20. The Kali River originates from Kalapani and, surprisingly, India now has included the river in its map when it had removed its existence previously.Furthermore, the Nepal-China March 20, 1960, treaty also supports the claim of Nepal (per Article 1): While Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura have been featured in India’s maps for a long time, something Nepal’s leaders have tacitly acquiesced to (besides the routine call for dialogue) this new map placed Kalapani within Indian borders.Then on 2 November last year, an official Indian map showed not just the original 336sq km of Limpiyadhura within India’s external boundary, but for the first time also depicted a whole 66sq km swath of the east bank of Lipu Khola also as Indian territory. Historical map of 1805–1836 (printed in 1908) shows Lipulekh as the trijunction Indian military units first occupied this area, which appeared to be a potentially strategic route from Tibet into northern India, in the context of the build-up to the 1962 Sino-Indian war. -- For diplomatic and pragmatic reasons, the British Government downplayed and occasionally overplayed the protected status of these states and chieftaincies. (The original map did not draw a boundary.) But the actual boundary was at the eastern Kali (Kalapani). I have scratched out my earlier "belief" that the border was unchanged between 1893 and 1947. Mugugaon Mugu Here we can see the primary source of the Kali river downstream from Limpiyadhura. Kalapani is a strategically important tri-junction between India, China and Nepal in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. I thought that maybe the Nepalese didn't know where the border was and mistakenly thought the Kalapani village was within Nepal. In 1998, it became "convenient" to Nepal to raise a controversy about it for domestic political reasons. They built the above temple (a temple of Goddess Kali) to authenticate the name. You will notice here that the lettering of the "Kalee-R" added to the Kuthi Yankti river is different from all the others (it is "printed" rather than "written" in cursive style; it is also not I also have written confirmation that this map existed, from The Kunti-Yankti is a third larger than the Kali, both in size of channel and volume of water, and nearly four times the length from source to confluence; notwithstanding which We don't know which version of the map Strachey was carrying, and he says it carried a "red boundary" along the Kuthi Yankti. Both India and Nepal lay claim to Kalapani. "Please give your opinion and suggest if it really need a consensus.---I am gathering here a bunch of quotes from scholarly sources regarding what happened in 1998. A cabinet reshuffle in August 1998 marked formation of an NC-led coalition with the new CPN (ML), In 1998, primary attention was focused on the Indian military posts on the Kalapani border area between northwest Nepal, India, and Tibet. Kalapani is embraced with pine, juniper, and Bhojpatra trees and the mighty Himalayas stand tall guarding it. The Kali River forms the boundary between India and Nepal in this region. A popular attraction in Kalapani is the Vyasa cave where Ved Vyasa is believed to have stayed for some time. 17. Here the border runs along the watershed.Nepal has another pass, the Tinkar Pass (or "Tinkar Lipu"), close to the area.A joint technical committee of Indian and Nepalese officials have been discussing the issue since 1998, along with other border issues.On 20 May 2020, Nepal released a new map of its own territory that expanded its claim to 335 square kilometres area up to the The area on both sides of the Kali River is called Byans, which was a Octherlony offered peace terms to the Nepalese demanding British oversight through a Resident and the delimitation of Nepal's territories corresponding roughly to its present-day boundaries in the east and west. Both India and Nepal claimed that this area belongs to their region.
Current India is what the land left by British, and treaty goes back to Sugauli Treaty.
