The recent socio-political changes in Nepal have brought
assimilationist notions of Nepali nationalism under a tight
scrutiny and drawn attention to more plural, inclusive, and diverse
notions of Nepaliness. However, both assimilationist and pluralist
visions continue to remain normative in their approach, and often
posit ethnic and national identity in opposition to each other.
Drawing on the everyday practices in the two schools, this book
illustrates that social actors in minority language education did
not necessarily select between minority identity and national
identity, but instead made simultaneous claims to more than one
social identity by discursively positioning 'ethnic identity' as
'national identity'. It builds on the notion of 'simultaneity' to
illustrate that it is through the 'unresolved co-presences' of
apparently contradictory ways that people maintain their
multi-layered identities. By arguing for an analytical necessity to
adopt relational approach, it aims to complicate the neat
compartmentalisation of identities.
