If Nepalese get visa free entry to India then why not Bangladeshis?

[IamBengali]

India is a secular country by constitution but just because Nepal is a Hindu majority country India allows Nepalese to stay and settle in India without any visa. They can roam around India without any restriction but once East Bengal of India Bangladesh is not allowed to send its nationals without any visa to India? Is it because Bangladesh is a Muslim majority country?

Perhaps it is because Bangladeshis , unlike their Nepali counterparts, forget to return home when they enter India ?

It's because Nepal and India have closer relations than BD and India.

Also the matter of the millions(?) of Nepalese Gurkhas having been soldiers of the Indian Army.

The reason that you quote is not correct.It has got nothing to do with Hindu majority.A treaty of mutual friendship was signed in 1950, which allows Nepalese citizens to come to India without visa and vice-versa. This was done because of the historical relations between the peoples and the treaties that were signed before in 1816 and then again in 1923.

Well.. in India people tend to trust a Nepali Gurkha night watchman more than any local Indian! That should say something about the comfort level Indians have with the Nepalis!

We have signed similar treaties with Bhutan and they have visa free entry to India & vice versa.And Bhutan is not Hindu majoraty nation

First , stop calling for the deportation of illegal Bangladeshis from Pakistan before you suggest that India gives visa free entry to Bangladeshis. In any event, we want more of them to "visit" Pakistan hence the strict visa requirements

Trolling eh?

On topic: India, Nepal and Bhutan share relations that far exceed any relations India has with any other country in the world. India has signed a treaty with Nepal and Bhutan as well. For all intents and purposes, they are accorded all the privileges of citizens of India.
