С одной стороны, Индия расценивает горное государство не только как близкого с культурно-цивилизационной точки зрения соседа, но и как слабое звено в обеспечении своей безопасности. С другой стороны, Непал пытается проводить политику балансирования, не допуская чрезмерного усиления в стране позиций ни одного из соседей. Показано, что в рассматриваемый период Индия в рамках стратегии «Соседи прежде всего» активизирует южноазиатское направление внешней политики. Отмечается, что это приводит к активному развитию политических контактов и бурному росту экономического взаимодействия. Выявлено, что частые кризисы в отношениях, применение Индией давления, антииндийская риторика ряда непальских лидеров вредят положительному восприятию двусторонних связей в обществе. Установлено, что наиболее пострадавшей стороной в результате оказываются проживающие вдоль южного участка индийско-непальской границы народности мадхеси, наиболее связанные с Индией. Подчеркивается, что особое значение для эволюции двусторонних отношений имеет китайский фактор, поскольку Китай постоянно укрепляет свои позиции в Непале (как и во всей Южной Азии). Показано, как Индия реагирует на инициативы Пекина в пригималайском государстве.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article examines the bilateral relations between India and Nepal, which hold a unique status. On one hand, India perceives the mountainous nation not only as a culturally and civilizationally close neighbor but also as a vulnerable link in its security framework. On the other hand, Nepal endeavors to pursue a policy of balancing, striving to prevent the excessive strengthening of either neighbor’s influence within its borders. The study demonstrates that during the specified period, India has intensified its South Asian foreign policy under the “Neighborhood First” strategy. This has led to a significant increase in political contacts and a robust growth in economic interactions. However, it is revealed that frequent crises in relations, India's exertion of pressure, and the anti-Indian rhetoric of certain Nepali leaders have detrimental effects on the positive perception of bilateral ties within society. It is established that the Madhesi communities residing along the southern stretch of the India-Nepal border — most closely associated with India — are the most adversely affected by these dynamics. Furthermore, the article underscores the critical role of the Chinese factor in the evolution of bilateral relations, as China consistently strengthens its foothold in Nepal (and across South Asia). The analysis also illustrates how India responds to Beijing’s initiatives in the Himalayan state.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Индия</kwd><kwd>Непал</kwd><kwd>индийско-непальские отношения</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>мадхеси</kwd><kwd>балансирование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>India</kwd><kwd>Nepal</kwd><kwd>India-Nepal relations</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>Madhesi</kwd><kwd>balancing</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ледков А.
