This book explores various domains of the Nepali public sphere in
which ideas about democracy and citizenship have been debated and
contested since 1990. It investigates the ways in which the public
meaning of the major political and sociocultural changes that
occurred in Nepal between 1990 and 2013 was constructed, conveyed
and consumed. These changes took place against the backdrop of an
enormous growth in literacy, the proliferation of print and
broadcast media, the emergence of a public discourse on human
rights, and the vigorous reassertion of linguistic, ethnic and
regional identities. Scholars from a range of different
disciplinary locations delve into debates on rumours, ethnicity and
identity, activism and gender to provide empirically grounded
histories of the nation during one of its most important political
transitions.
