Nepali NGO wants India to return land

Kathmandu: A Nepalese nongovernmental organisation has launched a signature campaign demanding the return of territory that Nepal lost to British India through the historic Sugauli Treaty of 1815. The campaign was initiated here by the Greater Nepal Nationalist Front on Friday coinciding with National Unity Day, according to The Rising Nepal, a government-owned national daily. Signatures will be collected from within and outside the country, and the campaign will continue until coming mid-April, according to the front’s chairman Fanindra Nepal.
