“…Nepal's territorial nationalism, especially the one emerging from its border disputes with India, and its impact on the bilateral relationship merit detailed explanation. Unlike the positions taken by the earlier studies (Aryal & Pulami, 2023), the events of 2015 blockade and the 2019 disputes over the territories offer different insights into the territorial dimensions of nationalism in Nepal. The 2015 blockade by the Madhesi groups highlights competing nationalism narratives-Parbatiyas versus the Madhesis.…”

“…Territorial disputes act as a conditioning factor in geopoliticising nationalism (Cotillon, 2017). Since the concept of nationalism has blended with geopolitical thinking (Aryal & Pulami, 2023) it influences bilateral relations between states. Nationalism, characterised through territorialisation of space, strongly corelates with geopolitics that impacts states' political thinking and behaviour (Hughes, 2011).…”

The assertion of (territorial) nationalism by Nepal has serious implications on its bilateral relationship with India. Once dominant, the singular narrative of the upper-caste Hindu Parbatiya nationalism is increasingly encountering competing narratives emerging from the marginalised Janajatis and the Madhesis of Nepal. Accordingly, several nationality sentiments that were sidelined earlier have now become salient. While the India factor in these competing perspectives of nationalism discourses in Nepal appears to be subtle (but important), the growing territorial dimensions to it invariably locates India in a prominent position. This article investigates the implications of the changing dynamics of Nepal’s nationalism on its bilateral relationship with India. Reasoning through the internal dynamics of nationalism discourses in Nepal, the article offers a critical analysis of the territorial disputes between India and Nepal, and its implications on nationalism in Nepal and on the bilateral relationships between India and Nepal.

This article reports how the rhetorical devices and logical argument utilized in the speech of Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, delivered in Lumbini, addressing the 2566th birth ceremony of Lord Buddha, assisted him to establish his purpose by persuading the audience. I adopted the concept of rhetoric developed by Aristotle and the notion of argument advanced by Toulmin as a theoretical perspective to analyze his speech. The findings reported that Modi used rhetorical devices and layers of argument to establish religious and cultural relationships between Nepal and India; however, he focused on religions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, and excluded the religious and cultural sentiments of people belonging to other religious and cultural backgrounds living in both countries. The finding further revealed that Modi’s seemingly religious rhetoric was directed towards the political mission of promoting relations between Nepal and India by expanding cultural nationalism and establishing the supremacy of Hinduism and Buddhism. This study has greater significance because it adds new insights into the existing literature on rhetoric and communication and provides a clear direction for further analyzing the rhetorical strategy in Modi’s speeches.
