Struggles For Recognition Bolster Inclusion

The unceasing struggle of Nepalis for recognition is a fight for their manifest visibility in public policy, representation in public institutions and media, social science inquiry and projection of self-worth. Recognition calls for the reflection of self-identity formation, affirming the values and acceptance of social, cultural and religious distinction and a distinct way of life in a national montage. The yearning for recognition evolves creative imagination about fulfilling vital human needs, the feeling of civic competence about the realisation of constitutional rights including freedom, self-respect and self-esteem. In no way, however, it discourages them from contributing to common good vital for establishing an edifice of a good society where mutual recognition can offer each Nepali an opportunity for social emancipation through personal and institutional means.
