Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia that is situated between India and China. It has a population of almost 30 million, and is known for its stunning natural beauty and unique cultural traditions. The country is home to some of the world's highest mountains, including Mount Everest, which attracts thousands of trekkers and climbers every year. Nepal's geography is also marked by deep river valleys, dense forests, and a variety of wildlife. Despite being one of the poorest countries in the world, Nepal has a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in its festivals, music, and art. The country's religion is predominantly Hinduism, although there is also a sizeable Buddhist minority. Visitors to Nepal can explore ancient temples, palaces, and shrines, as well as enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as trekking, rafting, and paragliding.

The importance of the Himalayan state of Nepal has been obscured by the international campaign to free Tibet and the vicissitudes of the Sino-Indian rivalry. This book presents the history of Nepal’s domestic politics and foreign relations from ancient to modern times. Analysing newly declassified reports from the United States and Britain, published memoirs, oral recollections and interviews, the book presents the historical interactions between Nepal, China, Tibet and India. It discusses how the ageing and inevitable death of the 14th Dalai Lama, the radicalization of Tibetan diaspora and the ascendancy of the international campaign to free Tibet are of increasing importance to Nepal. With its position between China and India, the book notes how the focus could shift to Nepal, with it being home to some 20,000 Tibetan refugees and its chronic political turmoil, deepened by the Asian giants’ rivalry. Using a chronological approach, the past and present of the rivalry between China and India are studied, and attempts to chart the future are made. The book contributes to a new understanding of the intricate relationship of Nepal with these neighbouring countries, and is of interest to students and scholars of South Asian studies, politics and international relations.
