1953 January (End of Nepal Merger Arc)

The cold January winds swept through the narrow streets of Kathmandu, biting at the faces of passersby and carrying with them a reminder of the recent changes.

It was 1953, and the kingdom of Nepal, with its long history and proud traditions, was now part of the Republic of India. Months have passed since the historic merger that bounded these 2 civilization in one that have always shared same culture and traditions but it was not easy.

Protests, strikes, and even violent clashes had erupted across Nepal in the months leading up to the merger, as many Nepalis struggled to come to terms with the loss of their sovereignty.

Merger or Unification is never easy because sometimes people see that as an attack on their identify not to mention Nepalese People who are proud and have enjoyed their independence for a long time.

Though the streets had grown quieter, the people of Nepal still remained uncertain about what their future held.
