| Summary/Abstract |
Why do citizens support democracy under an authoritarian regime that has been waging a protracted civil war? This paper explores the attitude toward democracy expressed by urbanites who were protected by the incumbent, by employing the AsiaBarometer survey data collected during the Nepali civil war. Our empirical finding is that citizens’ favorable attitude toward democracy is fostered by economic downturn and deterioration in security. In Nepal, civil war weakened relations between the capital’s residents and rural peasants as the rebels extended their influence in the countryside and shrank the urban economic sectors. Rebel infiltration into Kathmandu furthermore posed a great threat to the residents.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2007, during the course of planning the 250th anniversary celebrations of the inauguration of the Kumari Chen-the house of the 'Living Goddess' in Kathmandu's Durbar Square-a new document came to light, which recorded significant alterations made to the building only four years after its foundation. This paper shows how these changes affected the Kumari Chen's identity, transforming it from a building originally designed for royal Hindu Tantric worship to a building with dual purpose, where separate Hindu and Buddhist Tantric worship could take place under the same roof. Taking into account the historical context in which the Kumari Chen was established, this paper explores the purpose for which the building was created by the last Malla king of Kathmandu and identifies motives for the subsequent alterations, shedding light on the relationship between Newar Buddhists and their Hindu king in a time of unprecedented crisis.

| Summary/Abstract |
Landlocked Nepal hemmed by India and China has maintained cordial relations with its both immediate neighbors. Since the political transformation of Nepal in 2006 the Sino-Nepalese relations have significantly increased. Although the Sino-Nepalese relations are developing rapidly but the geographical handicap of Nepal has made it dependent on India. Post-2006 China has been successful in reducing Nepal’s reliance on India thus impeding intimate Indo-Nepal relations. This has changed the fundamental nature (special relations) between India and Nepal. The paper is an attempt to highlight growing Sino-Nepalese relations and its impact on India. Apart from this, the paper will examine the chances of trilateral cooperation and India’s views on it.

| Summary/Abstract |
Modi’s two day trip to Nepal has made both New Delhi and Kathmandu more optimistic expecting a turnaround in the low tide of relations. During his visit, he made the right moves and used the right words to woo the people of Himalayan state. In the backdrop of increasing Chinese influence in that country, it might be a deft move of strategic diplomacy. His broad-based positive projection to follow a healthy neighbourhood policy for regional cooperation and progress is really high appealing that is revealed from his eager move to neighbouring states and talk with leaders in those countries.
