| Summary/Abstract |
Nepal has been undergoing a swift and unparalleled transformation in the political arena on account of factors like absence of unity among political parties, inadequate political participation for minority and ethnic people, economic weakness and vested interests of regional and external powers in the country's stability. Since 1950, Nepal has seen six constitutions and last one was promulgated on September 20, 2015 after the seven years grueling efforts of Constituent Assembly-1 and Constituent Assembly-II (2008-2015). The scholars, analysts, politicians of Nepal have been considering it as a very progressive and inclusive document. However, it has proved more contentious and controversial as the one-third Nepalese population (Madheshi people), who perceived it as discriminatory and exclusive one. It has created political paralysis in Nepal creating a lot of contagion effects of cold and cough for India as well.
