A question with an interesting history....
Nepal is GMT + 5:45. It is the only country with a 45 (or 15) minute offset from GMT.
This is the story I have been told.....
When India and Pakistan were established, Pakistan was in two parts, current day Pakistan and current day Bangladesh. From a time perspective, India was between two GMT +6 areas and its relations with those areas were not friendly. So, India adopted GMT +5:30.
Now consider Nepal...between India, China and Bangladesh...
For the case of uniqueness I suppose....Nepal is GMT + 5:45 (not 6 like Bangladesh and not 5:30 like India).
This is the story I have been told....
