India is risking a further wave of sharp anti-Indian polarisation in Kathmandu if it doesn't resolve the Lipu Lekh-Kalapani dispute with Nepal.
Both sides continue with their 'he said-she said' as seen in Nov 2019. But it is India that hasn't accepted the EPG report.

Everything is relative. Indian media is on edge if a whisk of Chinese incursion is reported, but doesn't regard Nepali claims as important. Nepali diplomacy's limited skills cannot resolve Kalapani, which will remain a stick to beat India with–which New Delhi can easily absorb.
Open border, despite a special characteristic of Indo-Nepal border, complicates issues. Sovereignty claims feel shallow when one is pretty much a citizen of both nations. Easy to sell politics of nationalism, but difficult to explain why you can't call for regulating the border.
