I heard this news on Kantipur FM yesterday and read more about it on Nepalnews. The Indian border security force aka Seema Surakcha Bal (SSB) is said to have chased away hundreds of Nepali families from their homes. They were living along the Nepal-India border in Dang district of western Nepal. According to the news media, most of the families have no place to go. They are wandering around looking for help.
How did this happen? As usual, the Indian army (SSB in this case) has reportedly moved the border pillars about 35 meters into Nepali land. It has been reported that about 1800 families are now homeless from some 22 different villages in the region. It was shocking to find out that the SSB guards torched Nepali houses and forced them to leave their homes in their own country. Moreover some displaced families have said that the SSB guards assaulted and raped women.
They said they had been facing atrocities from the SSB for some years now. It became so worse this time that they had to leave their homes. The SSB blocked Nepalis from buying in Indian markets and took away theirs, according to the members of the displaced families. The displaced families are now living in tents at Karri community forest in Satbariaya.
This is yet another example of Indian atrocities Nepalis, living in border regions, have been facing. When our leaders for the new government are still busy trying to get their own people in power so they can use the government facilities, drive expensive cars, live in mansions – these people have no place to spend a night. I hope these ministers or the soon-to-be ministers give more importance to this matter. We belong to a small nation, but a great one! We belong to a handful of countries in the world that could not be colonized even by the British. Netajyu haru (नेताज्युहरु), Nepalis are still ready to defend and stand up for their motherland; please don’t get intimidated by these Indian pricks.
first of all thanx for sharing the issue.
I am equally concern with this issue like you and many other Nepalese. my heart goes out for those families out there who have gone through this nightmare – brought to us by Indian crooks.
My hands cant reach there, my voice can rebuild that, but with a little hope i want to share u’re pain and wand to tell you people out there in my country that My support is with you all, and like me there are may other friends whose heart are broken with this crual act of indians upon us.
Our voice might be low, we might be small geographically , but i want to remind them that dont forget that you indians were slaves of British, and dont forget that you are immoral ill’s living close to us, our country though being small have helped u evils many many times combatting with others to save you land.
Dont forget that its not a size of land that matters to win, it’s the mind and the sprit do somthing and hope you know Brave gorkhas well.
Any wayz i dont want to spend my time pouring the frustration. Jut wanted to share that like me there are may nepalies ready to defend the country and fight if needed.
united we stand otherwise …………
so its time to united
that’s pathetic. Leaders have their brains in their butts, it looks like
If they are demanding their land on the basis of 600 year old history, then we have full right to demand our land on the basis of 356BC year old History, because Ashoka the Great had captured the complete Nepal.
It is just a Plot to spoil relation between, India and Nepal. They say, that the treaties they signed was with British India, Not India. I say, ok the treaties have been signed with British India, but on the other part, who signed it?? Nepal( declared in 1761). Why did you sign the treaty??? Treaties are Not made to be changed whenever you want!

before writing any comments please measure your level of knowledge thats a request from a gurkha
Nepal is a sweet potato between two stone so Nepal do the treaty under pressure of British not the India who was already lost and a coward the brave Nepali never give up until end of the life. the treaty of sugauli is so humiliating that if it was under my power i destroy the countries which humiliate and disgrace brave Gurkha. i know my hands can’t reach to teach lesson to those who are against my motherland “Nepal” but i can unite Nepal and raise voice. brave nepali is ready to any thing for our insult and they are so angry about those who don’t want nepal to progress. nepal was independent and still independent .
we are free from the begining and soverienti is in our blood.
solute for great Nepal.
well its good to hear the actual situation of border but its toooooooo bad to hear the problems facing by the nepalese people. due to these ass hole minister we cannot do any thing so dont beg anything with them because they r the dog where we give our own food n live in our home tooooooo but they work for others so its better to kick out the dogs from the house or kill it as soon as possible we can.may be u got it what i wanna say.the government will not do anything for the public they just do for themselves but we public have the power to defeat these people.so in my view we all nepalese should be together except the political party because they r not pure nepalese they r the dog of the street. we r ready for ever to help each other because we all r son of our mother n we should save out mother in any condition.
Nepal is the country having unity in diversity and we should unite now for our country otherwise it will be late. The political parties will not do any thing for our country. They only want their party not country so now people should do something for Nepal.
MY NEPAL MY PRIDE.
