Women's Contribution To Democratic Upheavals 

While discussing women's participation in nation-building and the democratic process in Nepal, it is necessary to recognise their historic role in the Nalapani War. Serving as warriors in the battle of Nalapani in Dehradun (currently located in Northern India) in 1815, Nepali women fought alongside their male counterparts in a heroic resistance against the British army. Despite facing adversaries with the better equipped, trained, and outnumbered British army, women courageously stood their ground, contributing to the defence of their homeland.
