Indian Nepali, Indian Nepalese or Indo Nepalese are Nepalese (Nepali people) who have Indian heritage. The Madhesis having origins from neighbouring Bihar and Uttar Pradesh of India have lived in Nepal since ages. The Marwadi people have lived in Nepal for several hundred years. They came to Nepal from Rajasthan as traders and flourished in Nepal where there was very little trade activity then. Now the Marwaris control majority of top businesses of Nepal. There are also a few Punjabis and Bengalis in major cities of Nepal. A plenty of Muslims have also immigrated from India to Nepal. A majority of them are involved in low profile works like rickshaw pullers, cobblers, tailors, scavangers etc. Some run small businesses also. There are currently estimated over 4 million Indian origin immigrants living in Nepal.[1]
