Social Inclusion of Ethnic Communities in Contemporary Nepal
focuses on the dynamics of ethnic identities and movement in South
Asian states in a comparative framework. As we witness a series of
explosive ethnic revivals across the globe, this study investigates
the issues around ethnicity that have come to occupy centre stage
in Nepal's contemporary political and development discourse. Nepal
is at the crossroads of state building. The Constituent Assembly is
now looking into the modalities of establishing a multi-cultural,
multi-social, multi-linguistic, multi-religious and multi-ethnic
federal state. In the aftermath of the April 2006 Jana Andolan II
and the commitment of the ruling political alliance to
restructuring Nepal along federal republican lines, the assessment
of Nepal's ethnic question from multiple perspectives - political,
sociological, economic and spatial - has acquired a new urgency.
Ethnic identity is only one part of the problem of ethnicity in
Nepal. Federalism therefore has to be conceived of as an exercise
in addressing the multiplicity of issues that form the agenda of
Nepal's development, so that a politically, socially and
economically integrated, dynamic and progressive Nepal emerges from
the shadows of the past. This work includes an intensive analysis
of facts, figures and particulars collected from available records
and surveys. One of the aims of the study is to assess the defining
ethnic identity among the Limbus, centred on a case in an urban
area in the Kathmandu Valley. This work is mainly based on
qualitative data but quantitative data has also been used to
measure various aspects of the community, like the level of
educational, economy etc. This volume will be an invaluable guide
for the scholars of federalism in Nepal while also educating the
lay reader in general.
