Nepal's Maoist insurgency began on 13 February 1996 when members of
the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) carried out simultaneous
raids on government offices, police posts and private businesses.
The violent campaign embroiled the government, the political
parties, the king, the police, and the army in conflict against
highly motivated guerrilla fighters. By early 2003, the rebels had
come to threaten the central institutions of the Nepali state. with
political instability and the growth of radical left politics led
to a build up of tensions. The insurgency's promise of a more just
and equitable society gained favour with many of Nepal's poor and
disadvantaged people. The government's failure to tackle the causes
of the rebellion and to engage the Maoists' agenda led to thousands
of deaths and widespread destruction of infrastructure that peaked
in 2001 and 2002. The book concludes that lasting peace depends on
building a state that attends equally to of all of Nepal's diverse
population groups.
