Nepal's Lost Treaty: A Border Dispute in Limbo The recent revelation that Nepal has lost its original 210 year old treaty papers defining its borders with India is a curious case of diplomatic amnesia.
The documents, which date back to the 1816 Sugauli Treaty, are now missing, according to Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal.
Khanal's statement to Parliament on Monday has raised more questions than answers about the status of this historic document.
