Welcome to the Nepaldalitinfo International site !
The Himalayan country Nepal has about 15% of her 27 million population still suffering from age-old socio-economic and political oppressions due to discrimination based on hierarchical Hindu caste system. The forms of these oppressions are manifold; “untouchability” is the most outrageous one, which is a grave crime against humanity. It is only recently that hardships and atrocities meted out to Dalits in the country have started to surface out. Due to the struggle put forward by Dalit movement of Nepal more effectively from the beginning the 21st century, a little attention has been apparently paid to the contemporary issues of Dalits. However, Dalits, as they still are excluded from the socio-economic and political mainstream in the country, are an entity very little known to the outside world.
This website aims to bring out the ground realities, contemporary issues and relevant information serving as a resource database relating to Nepalese Dalits in efforts of contributing to three steps in the path of Dalit liberty, “educate, get organized and struggle” as rightly laid down by Dalit messiah of India Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar.
