India's (Economic) Influence in Nepal

India's contribution (grants and loans) to Nepal's 2011/12 budget as presented by the Ministry of Finance is about 27.6% of total bilateral contributions. Japan contributes 11.34%; China- 6.84%; UK-6.31%; Germany-4.13%; and the U.S. a mere 1.78%.

This should shed some light on why India plays a big role in Nepali politics!
