Nepal vs India
 

India and Nepal are neighbors with the Himalayan Kingdom lying on the northern borders of India. The two countries have had friendly relations since time immemorial though Nepal is tiny in comparison to India that is often described as a subcontinent. The Indo-Nepal border is a porous one with citizens of both countries able to move across without requiring a passport. Nepali citizens can live and work in India and are accorded the same status as Indian citizens. All this makes people in the western world wonder if the two countries are really different from one another or not. However, despite many similarities, there are also many differences between India and Nepal that will be highlighted in this article.
