Social and political Movement in Nepal

Since History , large number of the population in Nepal left behind from the access of political participation and representation to public affairs due to economic and social conditions, and lack of access to information. Nepal retains its centuries-old caste system which is deeply rooted in the society. Some historical social and political movement or Revolution played the crucial role for the establishment of current inclusive social and political system and participatory development process in Nepal .Before and after the 1951 , some periodic movements that brought ‘democracy’ and social changes as an inclusive social and political system in Nepal, the history of social movements also moved along a parallel line with every political movement in the case of Nepal . Political Movement In the history of Nepal ,almost all the land lord (landed upper class) were (on Rana Dynasty and the Panchayat system )on the favor of autocratic regime as an anti democratic moment or revolution . However the majority of people were peasants or workers and international relation were slowly coming near to Nepal (since the East India Company in India) through the process of capitalism and international political freedom . People were started to be aware and motivate about their right and opportunity and seeking an appropriate time to be gather together for the political movement or revolution against autocrat regime ( against Rana dynasty , Pachhayat system and autocratic monarchy ) which had been possible as a People's democratic revolution (Janaaandolan) in 2007BS , People's democratic revolution(Janaaandolan) in 2046 BS ,Maoist Revolution from 1996 to 2006 and people’s revolution against autocratic Monarchy in 2006) . Social movement During the process of political moment, social movements continued, and some changes were seen in the legal system also. In 1963, the king introduced the MulukiAin (loosely translated to the National Code) that made all castes and ethnicities equal, at least legally, and declared that there would be no discrimination on the basis of castes and tribes. Likewise, Land Reformation Act was promulgated for social reforms, on the basis of which half of the land owned by people would be provided to peasants who had been cultivating them. Social movements are familiar in Nepal, where they have accompanied significant contribution of social and political change – notably the first and second People’s Movements in 1990 and 2006, and the Madhes and other identity movements . Since then, grassroots and more NGO-based movements have emerged to advance a number of issues, including: the recognition of mother tongues and minority languages; ending practices such as untouchability, gender based violence , greater political representation along women , ethnic and regional lines; ending impunity; and for the inheritance of Nepali citizenship through mothers as well as fathers.
