Post Conflict Constitution Making in Nepal: Towards 'Inclusiveness' in Democracy

The post conflict constitution making has given a desired possibility for Nepal to draft a new constitution to promote strong democratic regime in the paradigm of inclusiveness. The historically excluded ethnic communities and groups including indigenous nationalities, Dalit, Madhesi Hindus and Muslims, women, mother tongue speakers and non-Hindu religious groups should now be included in the state process to create a just, equitable and democratic Nepalese society. This can be done by recognizing diversity and fostering national unity. Within this broad framework of national reconciliation, constitutional options and interventions through different inclusive devices and mechanisms are discussed in the paper to include excluded groups/communities. The focus is on interconnection of federalism, proportional representation suitable language and religious policy and special measures or affirmative action so that the marginalized communities can be included in state system. The best way to avoid any conflict and insurgency in Nepal in future is inclusive and strong democracy.
