This is a good move and this was long overdue. Time has come to fight for our constitutional rights in India. Our ancestors have served this country for long, but today we are all dubbed as foreigners. India must scrap 1950 Indo-Nepal treaty. True, there are some illegal migrants from Nepal, but they are far and few compared to the Bangladeshish. Bangladeshis have already gobbled up North Bengal which historically belongs to the Gorkhas.
