This book offers an in-depth analysis of the interrelationship
between long-standing caste discrimination in Nepal, its vicious
circle of impact upon the Dalit groups and the changes brought by
the recent political transformations. It explores the links between
identity politics, Dalit struggle and Dalit rights although Dalit
identity is contested within the group. The author explores the
types of institutional measures that would be required to achieve
social justice for Dalit in Nepal and analyses the underlying
causes and nature of the deeply entrenched social, economic,
education and political inequality manifested in the life cycle of
Dalit. The book examines contemporary political transformations,
including state restructuring and federalism processes, and
explores different models of federalism by a variety of experts in
detail; this is done with a view to making specific findings on the
required institutional reform measures for the improvement of Dalit
inclusion and representation in state mechanisms and policies. This
book contributes to the literature on the caste and Dalit discourse
by proposing that the hegemonic caste structure is deeply
entrenched and needs to be deracinated by asserting unified group
politics of recognition in Nepal. Political Transformations in
Nepal will be of interest to academics working on South Asian
Politics, Identity Politics, and Asian Social Policy.
