Synopsis

This book delves into the intricate dynamics surrounding the creation of Nepal’s Constitution and the persistent struggle for inclusion by marginalised groups. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the movements opposing the 2015 Constitution and their implications for Nepal’s internal stability. The text is structured into six chapters, excluding the Introduction and Conclusion. The Introduction provides an overview of the key themes in the book as well as the research methodology employed in the study. The book begins by examining Nepal’s ethnic-regional dynamics, highlighting the dominance of Hill elites and the marginalisation of Janajati and Madhesi communities despite Constitutional promises of inclusivity. It traces the evolution of Janajati and Madhesi movements, detailing their historical roles, internal divisions, and struggles to consolidate political power.
