Border Man of Nepal

A comprehensive exploration into the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Nepal's international boundaries. Drawing on his expertise as a distinguished geographer and former Director-General of the Survey Department, Buddhi Narayan Shrestha analyzes the historical treaties, contemporary disputes, and critical management issues defining Nepal’s borders with its neighbors, India and China. The book delves into pivotal topics such as the contested Greater Kalapani area, the intricate dynamics of the Nepal-China-India trijunction point, and the broader implications of global strategies like the Indo-Pacific initiative. Shrestha examines the 'battle of maps' between nations, analyzing everything from specific border agreements (like the India-Bangladesh Border Agreement) to the role of international powers in shaping regional stability. More than just a geographical treatise, *Border Man of Nepal* is an urgent call for national awareness and effective governance. It provides enriching insights into boundary philosophy and management protocols, emphasizing the necessity of regulating porous borders to safeguard national security, prevent illegal activities, and ensure lasting peace.
