Thanks for your valuable inputs ne23pe jee. Your inputs would have weighted more if you had added more swearing words to your comments. Anyways, I am kind of sad to see you being very less aware of India and her generosity towards Nepal. If you know the current situation of Nepal there is another uprising going on in eastern terai region of Nepal in the name of JTTM. Do you know what has prompted this uprising ? I know you would not care as you think JTTM comrades are from Bihar, Right? Anyways, let’s not argue on that. Since you have asked me the following question I would like to inform you what were and are Indian assistance to Nepal . You asked :- As far as India assiting Nepali financially then tell me how has it helped Nepal? Where is this money going to? Ans :- As of date, there are over 265 approved Indian joint ventures in Nepal, with a cumulative total Indian investment amounting to between 36-40% of the total Foreign Direct Investment in Nepal. India has been the foremost country to invest in Nepal., a total of 21 Indian investment projects came to Nepal with Rs. 679.77 million as foreign investment, accounting for around 56% of total FDI flows into Nepal. About 78.5% of the Mahendra Raj Marg, a highway that runs the entire length of Nepal (1024 kms.) from the east to the west along the southern terai, has been constructed by India. In addition, roads from Kathmandu to Dakshinkali, Trishuli, Balaju, Godavari and Raxaul via Hetauda, Sunauli to Pokhara, Rajbiraj to Koshi Barrage and Janakpur town road are contributions of Indian assistance. India has also constructed a number of bridges on these roads and separately two bridges on the river Bagmati at Kathmandu and one on the river Mohana. The bridge on the river Sirsiya between the towns of Raxaul on the Indian side and Birgunj on the Nepalese side has also been completed and opened for traffic movement. Construction of 22 Bridges on Kohalpur-Mahakali Sector of East West Highway. These are the few examples of financial assistance from India.
