Nepal unable to verify authenticity of 1816 Sugauli Treaty amid border claims
The Nepalese government has stated that it cannot verify whether the copies of the 1816 Treaty of Sugauli in its possession are the original documents. This treaty, which forced Nepal to cede significant land to the East India Company, serves as the primary foundation for defining the border between Nepal and British India, and subsequently, modern-day India. Nepal currently asserts that the Indian regions of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Kalapani belong within its borders.
