Mr. Rewire,
I am not a student of history but would like to disagree with on the statement that you have written Yes, we were part of modern day India during the Maurya dynasty.
As far as I know Nepal as a country was established by the Late King Prithvi Narayan Shah about 250 yrs ago. Even before that I can not remember a single name of Indian ruler ruling in Nepal. I have heard about baise and chaubise rajya or things like that.
Terai was not suitable for residence because of the Very dense forest and Malaria. Only people surviving there were tharu people and I can't believe that they were ruled by Indian Maurya dynasty Kings.
If I recall correctly, there was not even a single country called India before the British came there. British established The East India Company by combining countless small kingdoms within India. U can still find royal people in India who call themselves Raajput. So what India u r talking about that ruled Nepal???? Present day India were ruled by British, Goa and Southern states were governed by Portugese etc...
I don't know how long is the history of modern day India but it only started after the British left. And the places like Darjeeling, Sikkim, Kumau, Gadhawaal used to be Nepalese Territory where Nepal used to rule and Nepal lost to the then British in East India Company so after British left may be We should have got those lands back because that was not won by India it was the deal with British ruling over that part of the sub-continent.
Anyway this is how I feel. I may be wrong but upto now I stand by my this and hope I am right.
Have fun and Take care :)
