Description:
The article briefly surveys Nepal's trade with the British India during the later half of the nineteenth century. The article reveals that there existed no registered trade between the two countries of Nepal and India up to 1875. The whole article is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the trade between the north-west provinces and Oudh and Nepal which was initiated at the initiative of the British Resident in Nepal. The second section discusses the trade between Bengal and Kathmandu which was conducted via Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Durbhanga, Bhagalpur, and Purnia in India and the Nepalese districts of Chitwan, Bara, Rautahat, Sarlahi, Mahottari, Janakpur, Morang, and others. The third section discusses the trade passing between Darjeeling and the border district of Ilam in Nepal, which was not so encouraging. There is a table with a list of articles exported to Nepal and imported from Nepal. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-01-03)
