The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY, vol.1, no.4 (July 2005)


In view of the royal coup in Nepal, which seems to aim at replacing even the sort of "democracy" established in 1990 and returning the country to the days when the royal family ran the country as feudal Hindu gods, we publish below extracts from a paper by Krishna B. Bhattachan that was presented in an international seminar on "The Agenda of Transformation: Inclusion in Nepali democracy" in Kathmandu, Nepal on 24-26 April, 2003. The paper is revealing on the social- political- cultural- reasons that led to the present situation and argues in detail for a model of Inclusive Democracy in Nepal (not presented here).
