2024, Nepal's Dalits in Transition
Chapter 10 Dalits in Nepal’s Tarai-Madhesh published in Nepal's Dalits in Transition, pp 201-36.
Nepal's Dalit issues have been never addressed in true spirit. The radical parties who believe in revolution do not speak against brahmanism the root cause of the caste subjugation. With in the Dalit movement, the issues of the Madhesi Dalits is on the margin. Difficult that Nepal's Dalit movement did not take in to account of issues of most untouchable communities like Doms, Mehtars, Chamars, Badis etc. This presentation is an attempt to understand Nepal's Dalit issues.
Socio-economic and political condition of Dalits, not only in India but other parts of the world are still pathetic and one of the major concerned area to be discussed deeply. Most of the people from these castes are ultra poor and below the poverty line1. They are lagging far behind the other communities in education, health and several other sectors. Representation of these people in politics and administration is almost nonexistent 2. Paper largely discusses the socio-economic and political conditions of Dalits in Nepal, one of the largest Dalit populations in South Asia next to India. This article brings an investigation of the painful experiences about the large chunk of population facing the evils of untouchability and humiliation.

Dalits in Search of Inclusion: Comparing Nepal with India2020 •
For the scholar interested in the impact of colonialism, the comparison of India and Nepal ought to be of considerable interest, since Nepal shares much of the culture of north India, while having a very different political history. In comparing the history of Dalits in the two countries, the absence until recently of reservations (affirmative action) makes a big difference in Nepal. Just as India, Nepali Dalits do very badly on all indicators. They have an even bigger incentive to migrate internationally for work than others. On paper, at least, they now have rights and protections as never before. The example of Indian constitutionalism, including its system of reservations, is a powerful influence.
