Akhil Bharat Nepali Ekta Samaj (Nepali and Hindi: The All-India Nepalese Unity Society; ABNES) is a group founded in 1979 in Varanasi, India, whose stated purpose is to work for the unity amongst, and welfare of Nepalese people residing in India.[1] ABNES was registered in the Hindu-sacred city of Varanasi (Benaras), in 1979. Varanasi traditionally maintained it connections with country of Nepal and the Nepalese traditions. It gradually evolved into a terrorist front organization for the Maoist insurgents of Nepal. In July 2002 it was declared a terrorist organization, and banned by the Ministry of Home Affairs.[1][2] Following this designation, Janardhan Thapa, an executive member of the group's central committee, announced that they would change their name and focus on "social and cultural activities".[1]
