Caste Based Discrimination in Nepal” Has Been Taken out from Our Report on Caste Based Discrimination in South Asia
Caste-based Discrimination in Nepal Krishna B. Bhattachan Tej B. Sunar Yasso Kanti Bhattachan (Gauchan) Working Paper Series Indian Institute of Dalit Studies New Delhi Foreword Indian Institute of Dalit Studies (IIDS) has been amongst the first research organizations in India to focus exclusively on development concerns of the marginalized groups and socially excluded communities. Over the last six year, IIDS has carried-out several studies on different aspects of social exclusion and discrimination of the historically marginalized social groups, such as the Scheduled Caste, Schedule Tribes and Religious Minorities in India and other parts of the sub-continent. The Working Paper Series disseminates empirical findings of the ongoing research and conceptual development on issues pertaining to the forms and nature of social exclusion and discrimination. Some of our papers also critically examine inclusive policies for the marginalized social groups. This Working Paper “Caste Based Discrimination in Nepal” has been taken out from our report on Caste Based Discrimination in South Asia. Drawn from the country report of Nepal, the paper provides insights to a number of historical markers that have been responsible for re-structuring of the State including the practice of caste-based discrimination and untouchability against Dalits in Nepal. This study prominently draws attention to the diverse nature of Dalit population which has to a greater extent revealed the in-depth nature of regional, linguistic, religious, and cultural, gender and class-based discrimination and exclusion. It further provides a detailed study of Constitutional provisions and policies with prior focus on historical discourses and present situation simultaneously; complementing the role of civil society organisations. -
