“…Nepal is an ancient country and historical evidences show that the formal ruling was started in Nepal since 1000 BC by Gopal dynasty. But constitutional history of Nepal seems to have started from 5th decade of 20th century after formulation of The Government of Nepal Act-1948(2004 by the then Rana rulers (Timalsina and Shreshtha, 2015, p.11) In Nepal, firstly constitutional provision for right to education was made by first constitution of Nepal, Government of Nepal Act-1948(Bhandari, 2014. This constitution made a constitutional provision for universal free compulsory elementary education throughout the country in section-4 (Government of Nepal Act, 1948, p.2) but this Act was not implemented.…”

This study aims at comparatively identifying the constitutional provisions for right to education, their implementation and impact on education in India and Nepal. This is an analytical descriptive study based on document analysis. By the mid of 2011, 81% constitutions of the world guaranteed or aspired to protect the right to primary education. Nepal and India both have clear constitutional provisions for right to free and compulsory basic education but are unable to fulfil the international and national educational commitments and goals. India and Nepal fall in 2nd and 48th rank respectively based on population in the world in 2018. However, educational indicators indicate that both the countries could not ensure the educational access to all the children. In the year 2014-15, 22.131 million children were either not enrolled or did not complete primary education in India. This number was 270 958 in Nepal in the same year. Results show that there is a wide gap between the educational policies and their actual implementation in India and Nepal.

“…Surendra Bhandari (2014) believes the liberal democratic form of nation building in Nepal as a workable approach. He frames the nation-building process in Nepal in three different forms and categories of nation building formative, democratic, and post-nation stages to create conducive environment for equal citizens, building market, institutionalizing universal social protection, and governance in accordance with the rule of law, which are, in their totality, achievable under a system of liberal democracy.…”

Nepal is a landlocked country with a unique national history and geopolitical location between two giant neighbors, India and China. Its relationship with these two nations has had a significant impact on the process of nation-building in Nepal. This article discusses the influence of the changing relationship between Nepal and India on various dimensions of nation-building, using the conceptual framework of Saunders' Research Onion Peeled Method and Harris Mylona and Stein Rokkan's theory of nation-building. The study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenology and historical methods to examine the trends of nation-building around the world and the paradigms of nation-building in Nepal during various periods of its history, including the unification period, the aftermath of the Anglo-Nepal War, the Rana Regime, the Monarchical period, and the aftermath of the end of the monarchy. The research found that internal and external forces, such as globalization and industrialization, as well as geopolitical developments, have had an impact on state nation-building in Nepal.

“…I want to pose the problem of citizenship debate in the Tarai with the following three cases. First, the lower and upper houses of the parliament of Nepal passed a major amendment to the Citizenship Act of 1964 in 2000 and sent it to the King for the royal seal, but he held it for a long time and never brought it into force (Bhandari, 2007[2064; Bhandari, 2014). The aim of the amendment was to insert jus soli provisos by which those persons (largely the Madheshis) who were born in Nepal but could not prove to be of Nepali descent would benefit.…”

Ethnic Politics, Madheshi Uprisings and the Question of Citizenship in Nepal

Nepal, formerly the only Hindu kingdom in the world and now a federal republic in making, introduced citizenship law in 1952 for the first time at the dawn of the first municipal elections held in 1953. Nepal’s citizenship policy has passed through a number of controversies, debates and disagreements since then. The main dissidents are the Madheshis living in the Southern plains (popularly known as the Tarai) adjoined with the Indian border. The crux of the problem rests on the sociological basis of immigrant–native contestation. The Madheshis, due to their alleged ancestral and cultural connection with North Indian people, do not appear as true Nepalis to the non-Madheshis or hill-origin people, and at the same time, the Madheshis also allege that the hill-origin people of the Tarai are encroachers migrated from the hills. In this context, I inquire into the trajectory that the citizenship debate in Nepal and the concerns of the Madheshis has taken with reference to citizenship-related constitutional provisions and legal stipulations.
