ABSTRACT
The chapter discuss how Nepal and Bhutan have established unique bonds with India. People from both countries can come to India without visa and live and work happily as people of a single stock. . This is model case for any future effort of Asian Integration. China does not give this privilege to any Asian countries under its influence so far. Surrounded between two giant neighbours India and China, in one way or the other, Bhutan and Nepal have kept their loyalties to the cause of peace and harmony to the top and never pursued the politics of confrontation or strategic provocation. Both these countries, though earlier being monarchies, have adopted the ethos of democracy. These countries also provide new affordable ways that Himalayan nations can apply to resolve the Himalayan conflict emanating from civilizational egos of two giant neighbours. Nature has created the Himalayas as a territorial divide between India and China. The natural boundary of Himalayas should be accepted to resolve intractable boundary problems and not indulge into claiming and reclaiming of other sides of gigantic peaks. The neighbouring counties ought to preserve the Himalayas for good of the world and should desist from investing the vast economic resources on creating war machines for posturing in peace times and killing during war periods.
