Why India Keeps the Nepal Border Open

Описание: Why does India share a 1751-kilometer border with Nepal without fencing, while borders with China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are heavily guarded? This is not a mistake or negligence—it is a strategic decision rooted in history, geography, and diplomacy.

The 1950 India–Nepal Treaty allows free movement of people across the border without passports or visas. Citizens can live, work, and even marry across borders. This unique relationship has shaped regional stability for decades. Thousands of Nepalese citizens proudly serve in the Indian Army, strengthening trust and cooperation between both nations.

Nepal also acts as a natural buffer behind the Himalayas, adding a layer of strategic depth for India. But what would really happen if this open border was closed? Who would benefit the most, and how would it impact regional security?

In this short educational video by NextGenIQ, we break down the real reasons using history, geopolitics, and simple explanations with animation and map-based visuals.
