Also Nepalese isn't necessarily Nepali citizens. India and Nepal are so intertwined, both countries citizens have free passage across each other. A significant percentage of Indian citizens in the very highly populated states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal are of Nepalese origin. I would assume the total number of Nepalese Indians would be at least 30-50 million, considering that the collective population of the above 3 states alone amounts to roughly 460 million.
