摘　　要：卡利河边界争端是当今尼泊尔与印度之间最尖锐的领土争端,是源自英国殖民印度次大陆期间科学帝国主义的遗产。1816年尼泊尔与英国东印度公司签署《赛哥里条约》,割让卡利河以西的土地,形成与英属印度的卡利河边界。条约签订后,英国测量员韦伯就对卡利河做了基础测量,形成了卡利河位置的原始地图证据。然而,此后印度测量局通过制图术,不仅构建了地图上边界与卡利河脱钩的画法,还制造了地图上卡利河位置的争议。卡利河边界争端的案例显示,印度测量局等殖民地科学机构所谓的"科学"成果,本质是为殖民政治背书。The Kali river boundary dispute is the sharpest territorial dispute between Nepal and India in the contemporary era and is the legacy of Scientific Imperialism during the British colonization of the Indian subcontinent.In 1816,Nepal and the British East India Company signed the Sugauli Treaty,ceding land west of the Kali River and thus forming the Kali River as boundary with British India.After the signing of the treaty,the British surveyor W.S.Webb made a basic survey of the Kali River and drew the original map of the Kali River.However,since then,the Survey of India,through cartography,not only concocted boundary on the map which was not based on the Kali River,but also created a dispute over the location of the Kali River on the map.The case of the Kali River border dispute shows that the so-called“scientific”achievements of Colonial Science,such as the Survey of India,essentially gave support to colonial politics.
