You are only telling about Bangladesh side...
As i said India can easily get his way to the 7 states from Nepal-Sikkim-Bhutan it will cost India little bit more money but we are ok with it..
India has many good trade partners in Asia region including China and Japan
China and India are Bangladesh's main import partners... How China will import in your country???
Your country is fully surrounded by India you will not be able to do trade with any country without using water or Air
Economy is growing in nearly every country of Asia.. So why are you talking about Economy in it??

India was able to install a power plant in NE region due to Bangladesh allowing free transit to Indian vehicles. Tripura CM said if India wants any development in Tripura , Assam and adjacent states the only way is to improve ties with Bangladesh. Indian President said its more important for India then Bangladesh itself to have a prosperous Bangladesh to have a prosperous India.

India needs Bangladesh's support and Bangladesh also needs India for developments. So long live Indo-Bangla.

In your dreams only
Nepal is a Hindu nation
Sri Lankans didn't like Muslims at all
Bangladesh is separate with his own wish
And forgot about Bhutan

India needs Bangladesh's support and Bangladesh also needs India for developments. So long live Indo-Bangla.

But you have already 5 crore 'illegal' Bangladeshi in your country. Now how can you deport them? How?

It will take some time but India will find some way to deport them. So, Don't worry about them

Its not possible. You can NOT deport 5 crore BDeshis. Either this is a false claim that there are 5 crore BDeshis or India itself allows 5 crore 'illegal' BDeshis as their own citizens.

 

[HariPrasad]

Now please give ten reasons why India should take Nepal...

Ek hi reason Kafi hai. To make a grand Indian Union starting from Afghanistan to Indonesia.

 

[SHAMK9]

Give a reason why Nepal,Bhutan,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka should join Pakistan??

Because we are awesome

 

[Sourya Kharb]

Because we are awesome

Only Pakistan and China will agree on that not Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Srilanka

Its not possible. You can NOT deport 5 crore BDeshis. Either this is a false claim that there are 5 crore BDeshis or India itself allows 5 crore 'illegal' BDeshis as their own citizens

Hope we both will see what will happen next

Bottomline is, Nepal is a free country and it should not join us. They are responsible for their internal matters and it is better that way.

If we were a manufacturing powerhouse like Germany, infrastructure pioneers like Japan, innovation specialists like Korea and had the raw military power like Russia, then Nepalis would be interested to join us, in an economic union (like European Union).

But we are not. So let us sort out our country and let them sort out theirs. Nepalis are welcome to India and we can travel to their country anytime thanks to the Open Borders agreement that our countries share.

Its not possible. You can NOT deport 5 crore BDeshis. Either this is a false claim that there are 5 crore BDeshis or India itself allows 5 crore 'illegal' BDeshis as their own citizens.

There is a first time for everything, buddy.

Since there seems to be a lack of a Nepalese perspective on this discussion on Nepal, let me provide all of you my two cents on the issue.

The topic to be discussed shouldn't be "ten reasons why Nepal should join India" but "ten measures that Nepal and India can adopt to consolidate security as well as economic issues." Trust me when I say this, the Nepalese population is very very nationalistic. Although majority Hindu, Nepal's identity as a nation state formed way before any other South Asian country (we became a unified kingdom in 1769). Thus, our outlook on regional politics is very different from that of the other states that were under British colonial rule (also to add, Nepal was cut off from the outside world until the 1950s).

Now, in regards to Nepal joining India, it is highly unlikely and unrealistic. Nepal has economic, historical, religious, and ethnic links with India but the sense of nationality is very very strong in Nepal; we identity first as Nepalese before any other affiliation in most cases. Given this context, there would be a strong backlash from the Nepalese population if any attempts at annexation are made.

Second reason why it is unlikely is the presence of China. Unlike Bhutan, which has no diplomatic relations with the PRC and has become defacto a protectorate of India, Nepal has adhered to equidistance with its two giant neighbors. Thus, given the security implications for China, India would in no way consider gobbling up Nepal; I am certain that the Indian political elite is smart enough to understand the implications of such a move for its own security.

Thus, the discussion is interesting but as a Nepali, I think the propositions made by the author would not be received well in Nepal. The Nepalese psyche is deeply embedded with an independent Nepal and it will continue to do so. The better question will be how Nepal and India can work together in areas of economic integration, security, and the rise of China. Hope this helps! And I'm willing to engage in conversation with anyone who wishes to take issue with my propositions.

Most Indians will never be in favour of gobbling any Nepalese territory, all jignoistic opinions you see here are plain trolling. I know Nepali people are very patriotic and any such suggestions made by Indians of merging Nepal with India will not be taken appreciatively by them, btw the article posted by the OP is by a Nepali author probably a Madhesi.

You are right in saying that India and Nepal should further inhance their co-operation in the economic sphere , India should invest in hydro power projects in Nepal and power generated can be shared by both energy starved nations while Nepal can generate revenue few years down the line by selling power from such projects when India would recover its investement costs. India should do more for Nepal and expect less as it is the larger of the two countries, a common electric grid may be set-up, Nepal should be allowed access into Bangladesh market and sea ports of India freely.

Most Indians harbour no ill intention towards Nepal and see it as a brotherly country, while i see many political elements in Nepal stoking anti-India sentiments to gain public support by instilling fear in theiminds of people against India.
