Nepal publishes Textbook against India

Nepal’s provocation against India is continued. Because of Chinese pressure or local politics Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has continued to show anti-India stand to the world. 

Recently, Nepal’s Education Ministry issued a new book for its higher secondary school students. The move caused outrage in India because it included Indian Territory in Nepal’s political map. 110-page Textbook is widening the gap between two political camps in Nepal cabinet. New Textbook claims that Kalapani is part of Nepal.

The preface is written by Nepal’s Education Minister Giriraj Mani Pokharel. Minister for Land Reforms and Cooperatives said that Ministry of Education has no right to change geographical area and published in government book. The reference of the book was released on September 15. The book is about Nepal’s boundaries and territories. As per the new book, total land area of Nepal is 1,47,641 Sq. kms including 460.28 Sq. Kms area of Kalapani. The concerned body of the Nepal government is yet to officially declare the revised geographical area of the country.

Amid if the row, Nepal Cabinet has asked to stop the distribution of the new Text book. Ministry of foreign affairs has no clue on new book. It seems that there is huge communication gap among the ministries in Nepal cabinet. Former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, popularly known as Prachanda is the politician behind the Textbook row. Reportedly, Education Minister Giriraj Pokharel is the man of Prachanda. He is trying to comeback in Nepal politics by making propaganda on nationalism. Prime Minister Oli is suffering in between two groups of his cabinet.
