he author argues that Nepal's renewed claim over Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Kalapani—conveniently timed with the resumption of India-China trade via Lipulekh—rests on shaky historical ground, since past Nepalese kings never disputed these territories and repeated searches have failed to even locate the original Sugauli Treaty document. With no treaty map defining the Kali's source and both sides relying on competing British-era records, the author concludes that only diplomacy, not legal appeals to a treaty neither side can fully verify, can resolve the dispute.

The author argues that Ceuta is not really a story about one difficult week at one border. It is a story about a policy failure the European Union has never fixed. [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]

The India–Seychelles relationship began in 1770 with the arrival of the first Indians on the archipelago, creating people-to-people ties that have endured for over two and a half centuries. [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]
The article argues that the proposed Iran–U.S. agreement risks strengthening rather than weakening Iran's ruling establishment by preserving the institutional power of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while granting substantial economic relief. [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]
