		Politics in general term is the study of interactions, actions and reactions among individuals between individuals and groups, and between groups and larger community what we call nation-state.
		Language and politics are closely related to one another and the former is one of the determining factors of the latter.
		As the concept of democratic pluralism was not encouraged in politics, philosophy and in language, the non-party Panchayat politicians used Nepali as a lingua franca, as a medium for the expression of political views and desires.

		Although there has been democratisation in local and national politics, and several expressed forthright approval of this, some Tamang narrators complained that lack of unity within their own caste means that the vote still tends to go to Chettri or Brahmin candidates.
		Nepal has been wracked by violence and unrest and, according to some estimates, 7,000 people have lost their lives.
		The new collection (Nepal 24-32) bears witness to this huge change to Nepal's political landscape; almost all of the narrators have had direct experience of the battle for power between Nepal's government and the Maoists.

		Nepal has been riddled by political instability since it switched from being an absolute monarchy, having 11 governments in the past 12 years.

	Nepal’s civil war: from security to politics Chandra D. Bhatta - openDemocracy
		The politics of Nepal in the first five months of 2005 have been dominated by a spiralling series of events: King Gyanendra’s coup in February, the state of emergency and the imprisonment of political leaders and activists.
		The pseudo-democratic shifts of 1950 and 1990 and the failure of political leadership have established an anti-political culture and created a vacuum in the overall system of governance, leading to the repeated emergence of the triangular power struggle between the assertive royal palace backed by the army, the political parties and the rebels.
		Most political scientists blame social, political and economic exclusion for the unrest in post-modern Nepal and argue that the Maoists have effectively made use of these for their program of class struggle.

		KATHMANDU - Nepal's diplomatic community is clamoring for an active role in mediating the Himalayan kingdom's eight-year Maoist insurgency struggle, as violence from the conflict continues.
		The triangular nature of Nepal's polity - the monarchists, the political parties and the Maoists - has enabled "the Maoists to tactically exploit the five months agitation of political parties to win concessions from the king", said an ambassador who declined to be named.
		For the political parties, however, the more immediate crisis is the constitutional one that for them undermines the legitimacy of the current government.

		Another factor that has contributed in a change in the political scenario of the country is the continuation of violence and terrorist activities by the Maoist rebels ever since the termination of the unilateral cease-fire.
		As the Maoists have breached the understanding reached between them and the political parties, the agitating political parties, which signed this agreement with the Maoists, should now reconsider their decision in light of the new developments in the country's political arena and the dire situation the country is in.
		And, the latest call by the US Ambassador to Nepal, James F. Moriarty, stressing the need for conciliation between the parties and the Palace, clearly pronouncing the pitfalls for the political parties if they go by the terms of the Maoists, is a stark reminder to the political parties to work towards reconciliation and consensus.

	POLITICS: Nepal Bracing For U.N. Human Rights Monitors
		Nepal's beleaguered mainstream political parties who have faced the brunt of the royal regime's policies have welcomed the U.N. Human Rights Commission resolution.
		For political and financial reasons, it will be difficult to expand it at a later stage, and gradual deployment will enable human rights violators and their allies to develop tactics and strategies to impede the mission," the ICG's president, Gareth Evans, said in a letter to Arbour on Thursday.
		Nepal made lofty promises in March last year at the U.N. Human Rights Commission's Geneva session but failed to implement many of those promises, prompting a stronger resolution from the body this year.

	The Hindu : Politics and terror in Nepal
		To say this is not to belittle the troubles that Nepal's fragile democratic order and civil society have had to endure on account of the activities of the self-styled Maoists for several years now.
		For the first time since the Maoists began their campaign against the conventional-style politics of Nepal's lively democracy, these anti-establishment forces are reported to have taken their `war' directly into the camp of the country's army itself.
		While this will lend itself to a general debate that is germane to political science and the practice of statecraft, the Nepalese context is not without instances of civil disorder that subjects the people to hardship.

		Nepal's Maoist rebels have called a three-month ceasefire, paving the way for the newly restored parliamentwhich convened on April 28th for the first time in four yearsto address the issue of constitutional reform.
		The agreement the Maoists and the political parties reached last year, combined with popular anger at King Gyanendra's increasingly authoritarian rule, was ultimately successful in forcing the king to reinstate the elected parliament, which he had suspended in May 2002 (although he assumed direct rule only in February last year).
		Last year, in sealing an agreement with the political parties, it appeared that the rebels would tolerate the preservation of the monarchy, assuming it was limited by the new constitution to ceremonial functions.
