nepal before 109 years
Greater Nepal is a concept of Nepal extending beyond its present boundaries to include Indian territories controlled briefly (10 to 20 years) by the Gurkha army after defeating some Indian kingdoms in wars fought from 1791 to 1804 but ceded to the East India Company under the Sugauli Treaty after the Gurkha king was defeated in the 1814--16 Anglo-Nepalese War.
The concept of "Greater Nepal" does not include those parts of Tibet that the Gurkha army occupied very briefly after defeating Tibetans in wars fought from 1789 to 1791 but from where the Gurkha army was ejected by Chinese army which defeated the Gurkha king in 1792 Sino-Nepalese War. Former Prime Minister Prachanda said in a 2005 interview with Times of India that Greater Nepal was a "media-created stunt.
