00:00In a recent development, India voiced its opposition to Nepal's decision to print a

00:09new currency note featuring a map that includes areas claimed by India.

00:15Nepal's cabinet decided to introduce a new Rs 100 currency note incorporating disputed

00:22territories namely Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani as part of its territory.

00:30This move has been strongly criticised by India, denouncing it as artificial enlargement

00:36and untenable.

00:38Reacting to Nepal's decision, Minister Jai Shankar emphasised the importance of dialogue

00:44through established platforms for resolving boundary disputes.

00:48However, Nepal's unilateral actions in printing the new currency note are unlikely to change

01:18The decision by Nepal's government of featuring disputed territories on its currency note

01:34comes amid strained relations between New Delhi and Kathmandu.

01:39Tensions escalated following India's inauguration of a new road in May 2020, sparking anger

01:46from the Nepalese government led by Prime Minister K.P.

01:50Sharma Oli.

01:51In response, Nepal released a new map incorporating disputed areas that India claims as its territory.

02:00This move led to a temporary breakdown in communication between the two countries, further

02:05exacerbated by Nepal's parliament passing a constitution amendment bill to legitimise

02:12the alteration to its map.

02:14The latest decision by Nepal's government has not only drawn criticism from India, but

02:19also sparked scepticism and dissent from Nepal itself.

02:24Chiranjeevi Nepal Economic Advisor to President Ramchandra Podel emphasised the untimeliness

02:32of Nepal's decision and its lack of consideration for broader implications.

02:37He noted that while Nepal may dispute certain territories with India, printing a currency

02:43note with a map different from internationally recognised borders is unwise.

02:50As the dispute continues to unfold, it underscores the complexities and sensitivities surrounding

02:56territorial disputes in the region.

02:59The need for diplomatic dialogue and mutual understanding remains paramount for resolving

03:04such contentious issues between India and Nepal.
