Constitution’s Promise Still Unfulfilled

Ten years after the constitution was promulgated in Nepal, the hope of a new federal democratic republic has been put to the test in terms of day-to-day politics. The Constitution of Nepal, promulgated on September 20, 2015, represented the outcome of a long political path marked by democratic movements, conflict, negotiations and changing power politics. Nepal became a federal democratic republic and sought to institutionalise inclusion, fundamental rights and federalism.
