Federalism: Dreams and Realities of Inclusive Nepal
Invitation | Report | News | Venu Info | Google Map | Photo
Nepal was long ruled by a small number of men from elite families. This created a social disparity along gender, caste, ethnicity, cultural, and geographic lines.

Today, Nepal's constituent assembly is highly inclusive of previously marginalized groups.
