Greater Nepal
Greater Nepal is an irrendentist ideal of Nepal extending beyond its present boundaries to include current Indian and Bangladeshi territories. The territorial claims typically include the Nepali borders between 1791 and 1816, concluding with the signing of the Sugali Treaty at the end of the Anglo-Nepalese War, but not the parts of Tibet occupied by the Gorkha army during the Sino-Nepalese War of 1788–1792. Background It is claimed the historical "Greater Nepal" extended from the Sutlej to the Teesta River in 1813, spanning 1,500 km. Gorkha rule over this expanse was brief, however, and in the aftermath of the 1814-1815 war with the East India Company the Gorkhali realm was whittled down considerably. The real time Gorkhali presence in Garhwal was for 12 years, Kumaon for 24 years, and Sikkim for 33 years. The Treaty of Sugauli, between the Gorkhali king and the East India Company, was ratified in 1816. It caused Nepal's rulers to lose about 176,000 (according to gr ...
