Talk:Kalapani territory

A travel report from 1829
Here is a travel report from 1829, barely a decade after the Sugauli Treaty, from an anoymous traveller, published in a journal called Gleanings in Science, which I had never heard of before:

So "Kali proper" was the eastern branch, the smaller of the two branches (the other one being obviously the Kuti Yangti).

So "Kalapani" was on the left bank of the Lipu Gad/Kalapani River, and one passed it on the road to Lepu Dhura. There is no mention of Nepal or the Nepalese government. The whole discussion reflects travelling in one and the same country, viz., British Kumaon.

It is a pity that the journal withheld the name of the traveller. But he was certainly resourceful enough to carry a barometer, but didn't know the intricacies of calculating altitude from barometric pressure. So perhaps a scientist of some sort.

He was aware of Colonel Webb, and perhaps carried a copy of his map. If Webb's map had the upside down "Kalee-R" annotation at that time, I find it hard to imagine why the traveller would think the "Kali proper" was something else! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 03:19, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

1) Add Map of Nepal promuglated by Government of Nepal in 2020. Previous maps were either made by British during British rule of India or later made by Government of India without any prior consultation with Government of Nepal. https://kathmandupost.com/national/2020/05/20/government-unveils-new-political-map-including-kalapani-lipulekh-and-limpiyadhura-inside-nepal-borders
 * ✅ using New Map includes the area of Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipukekh.jpg from Wikimedia Commons.

2) Add in text - Nepal had carried out census activity in Lipulekh 60 years ago. The census activity had covered 3 villages - Kunji, Navi, and Kuti and the Indian Army had tried to obstruct the endeavour then. https://www.timesnownews.com/international/article/nepal-wants-to-pull-off-census-in-indias-kalapani-limpiyadhura-lipulekh-scared-of-indian-armys-reaction/657472 RShrestha2018 (talk) 17:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
