Compare the number of hindi speakers in nepal with chinese speakers. Nepali is written in sanskrit script and not chinese. Nepali sounds like hindi and not chinese.90% of population hindu. Gurkhas fight for Indian army and not PLA. Hong Kong Gurkhas are legacy of the british. Gurkhas itself are a kshatriya caste of the indian civilization. One has to be deluded to claim nepal is closer to china/tibet than India. You pass judgments without any historical background of the region.
