Crisis and Social Transformation in Nepal

Goal and rationale.

How does the work of aid agencies during and after conflict affect people’s perceptions of change? What can we learn from recent experience?

Our work in Nepal has uncovered a number of interesting issues around the humanitarian-development relationship and the challenges of social transformation in a (hopefully) post-conflict environment that we feel are important to research both because they are largely unexplored and because of their potential policy implications. The overall objective of the research is to better understand the dynamics of social transformation in Nepal in the context of the Maoist insurgency and its aftermath.

The Maoists introduced, often forcibly, measures aimed at addressing centuries-old, deeply-rooted forms of discrimination. The concepts of awareness and rights were used as an entry point for the Maoists’ political and military actions as they abolished feudal structures and the caste system, introduced parallel peoples’ structures of governance, and encouraged affirmation of ethnic identity. Perhaps more profoundly, the Maoists actively promoted women’s empowerment, including participation in the ranks of the insurgency itself.

The Maoist message resonated in isolated and marginalized hill communities that had seen little or no development in  two or three decades. This research therefore endeavors to understand whether the Maoist message still sticks, or whether the feudal structures are re-establishing themselves. Further, this project considers tensions emerging at the village or community level, including what is happening to returning female combatants, and how the Maoist message relates to other drivers of change.

Specifically, the research seeks to document and analyze change at the community level through interviews, focus groups, and retrospective analysis. The project also aims to provide an evidence-based picture of social transformation and derive from it key conclusions of relevance to aid agencies and policy makers. In addition, the study is comparative, linking with other Feinstein research on the implications of conflict on gender and social transformation (in Sudan and northern Uganda in particular).

Nepal was one of the 12 countries included in the Humanitarian Agency 2015 (HA2015) research (the Nepal case study can be found  here , and the HA2015 full report can be found here ). As a follow-up to the case study, we conducted additional research both to deepen our understanding of the root causes and dynamics of the crisis and to track its impact on local communities’ perceptions of change and what drives change.

Feinstein’s research in Nepal is coordinated by an interdisciplinary team including Antonio Donini, Dyan Mazurana, and Jeevan Raj Sharma, who is based in Kathmandu. This work builds on extensive research and policy development experience on humanitarian, livelihoods, and rights issues in other conflict-affected countries including Afghanistan, Sudan, Uganda, and the Horn of Africa.

Aid and Violence

A  retrospective study  of the relationship between aid and conflict in Nepal was released in 2009. Based on a literature review and extensive interviews in Kathmandu with aid agency personnel and local researchers, the study looks at how aid policies contributed to shaping the events that led to the conflict, and at aid agencies’ efforts to adapt to the conflict environment. More specifically, the research attempts to answer the question of whether or not the conflict was a consequence of development failure and how development policies and activities interacted with other drivers of the conflict.

Local Perceptions of Conflict, Aid, and Social Transformation

This research aims to understand, against the backdrop of the Maoist insurgency, how local people in Nepal perceive and understand change. Based on extensive interviewing and focus group discussions in eight different ethno-geographic areas, the research builds up an evidence based picture of how local people and communities experience change, what (among the events of the past decade) is most meaningful for them, and what they perceive the drivers of change to be. The  report  was released in April 2010.

Youth Participation and Transformations in the Maoist Organizations

This research aims to understand transformations of young men and women within the Maoist party during the so-called “people’s war,” as well as the transformation of the Maoist party organizations—mainly the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Young Communist League (YCL)—during the conflict and post-conflict period up to 2009. The research is based on interviews with members of the PLA, YCL, and other party cadres. It focuses on how young men and women view their involvement in the insurgency. It attempts to understand the question of “becoming and being a man or a woman” in the Maoist insurgency. The key questions are: How did young people make decisions about joining the armed struggle? Why did some leave the village to join the armed struggle while others stayed back? How do they view their involvement in the insurgency? How transformative was their participation in the insurgency?

Sovereignty, Globalization, and the Future of Humanitarian Action

A research team visited Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan in April and May of 2011. The research conducted there explores several questions: What is the future of the time-tested universalist principles around which humanitarian action is organized (neutrality, impartiality, independence)? As those principles collide with sovereignty-based and nationalistic discourses, and as the humanitarian agenda is reframed as a dominant discourse aligned with northern liberal peace and globalization agendas, how is the agency and independence of humanitarians affected?

Within the context of these disputes and uncertainties, this study considers the future ability of the humanitarian system to reach the most vulnerable.

Labor Mobility, Vulnerability, and Social Transformation in Nepal

The aim of the study is to document, understand, and explain the changing forms of labor with specific focus on vulnerability and exploitation of labor in the context of Nepal. We are particularly interested in understanding the drivers of bonded and other modern forms of “unfree” labor in various sectors of work and employment and how they are influenced by wider processes of social transformation that are shaping Nepali society.

Our study looks at the nature of labor from the perspective of individuals and communities at the lower end of the socio-economic scale and the decisions they make to improve their human condition. We pay particular attention to the social and other pressures that affect the decision making and organization of laborers with an aim to understand why some people end up in exploitative relations/conditions and others don’t. We distinguish between forms of exploitative labor as they existed in the past in traditional Nepali rural society and contemporary forms of labor in various branches of the economy (e.g., service sector, construction sector, manufacturing sector, etc). Our approach treats bonded labor as integral to the overall landscape of forms of labor, rather than as a separate form of exploitation.

On the basis of earlier work in this field, we can safely assume that the emergence of new forms of bondage is strongly connected to the intensification of circulation and labor migration, and increased monetization of commodity exchanges and of social relationships. Data collection and ethnographic research on this project started in the spring of 2011.

Living In The Margins: Coping With Flood Risks And Managing Livelihoods In Nepal’s Far-Western Terrai

As a part of the larger DRR and livelihoods programming project, the purpose of this study is to develop a grounded socio-culturally and economically embedded understanding of the impact of floods on people’s livelihoods from their perspectives. We are particularly interested in livelihoods and relevant interventions that could reduce risk in Nepal terai, focusing on the risk and impact of floods. We are interested to critically assess the DRR programs implemented by the government, international organizations, and other local initiatives, and how far they reflect the livelihood strategies of the vulnerable population and the wider political-economic context in which the local population is embedded.

Therefore, the key focus of the study is to explore the strategies used by the flood-affected population—both households and communities—to cope with risks associated with flooding in Nepal terai. We are mainly interested in the relationship between physical and natural capital with livelihoods and risk reduction in the marginal areas of Nepal. The data collection for this project started in December 2010.

Outputs and Impact

Our research on conflict, aid, and social transformation in Nepal has attracted a considerable interest in the aid and research community in Kathmandu. We have been asked to present our findings at United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN), UN coordination meetings, university departments, and Kathmandu-based research organizations. Our report on Aid and Violence has attracted considerable attention in Nepal. UN agencies have engaged with our research findings on gender identities of Maoist combatants. We are frequently consulted by UN agencies, donors, other INGOs, journalists, and academics on conflict, aid, and social transformation issues. At present, we are in the process of expanding our research on issues including migration/mobility, vulnerabilities of marginalized groups (such as bonded laborers and female migrants), integration of Maoist combatants, and torture.

In Nepal, we hope to contribute to ongoing debates in the aid community on the nature of the crisis and on policies for addressing it both from a humanitarian and development perspective. This will be done through country-level briefings and seminars. At the international level, we expect our findings will constitute useful lessons for donors and aid agencies who struggle to adapt their policies and activities to sometimes rapidly changing conflict and post-conflict environments.

Collaboration

Our work in Nepal has been collaborative from the start. UN agencies (in particular OCHA), donors, and NGOs have sought to involve us in their own debates on the nature of the crisis and the humanitarian-development relationship. This will continue and will be extended to Nepali research institutions and universities.

Major 15 Social Problems, Evils & Inequalities in Nepal

Major 15 social problems, evils & inequalities in nepal, social problems.

Immoral, illegal, rootless and unscientific activities which backward the societies are social problems. Girl trafficking, forced or unwilling physical relationship between two individuals of opposite sex, smoking in public, gambling, corruptions, drinking alcohol and misbehaving in public places or at home, drug misuse, violence against women, theft, robbery, kidnapping, murder, rape etc are a few examples. Such social problems are great hindrances to our peace, security, harmony, well-being and development.

Social Evils

The part or whole of social norms, values, rituals, cultures and traditions existing in the society which have negative or adverse impacts on a particular gender or sex, caste or ethnic group, children, elderly people etc is known as Social Evils’. Child marriage, untouchability, caste-based discrimination,  gender discrimination, polygamy, Bat Bibah, Chhaupadi  Pratha, Deuki Pratha, Ghumto Pratha, Jhuma Pratha,  accusing of women and men as witches, mistreating widows, spending excessive money in the name of social and cultural practices, superstition  and habiswas), dowry system (Daljo Pratha), etc. are social evils. Such evil social practices harm the peace, harmony and development of the society.

  • Child marriage, bal Bibah
  • untouchability: Untouchability is one of the evil social practices or tradition in Nepal. Untouchability was legally prohibited on 2020 BS but it is deep rooted still now. The practice of untouchability among human beings is a disgrace. It can be taken as the remnants of feudalistic culture. The practice of discriminating people on the basis of so-called higher and lower class has created a big gap in the society. It has given birth to conflicts in the society. Therefore, the practices of untouchability existing in our societies should be eliminated in a joint effort.
  • caste-based discrimination,
  • gender discrimination,
  • color discrimination like madheshi pahadi feelings,
  • Chhaupadi  Pratha,
  • Deuki Pratha : Deuki system one of the evil social practices or tradition or culture in Nepal. In the hilly area of the far western region, poor people offer their young daughter to the god. But the rich people do not offer their own daughters. They purchase the poor girls for it. The offered girls do not get married which is the violation of their human right. This system may create social absurdity. But Deuki. system is not so common in these days.
  • Ghumto Pratha: Parda or Ghumto system is one of the evil social practices or tradition or culture in Nepal. The married women in Tarai area cover their face with the part of sari or shawl to keep their face unseen by males. This practice is a burning example of gender discrimination.
  • Jhuma Pratha, 
  • accusing of women and men as witches,
  • mistreating widows,
  • spending excessive money in the name of social and cultural practices,
  • superstition  and habiswas),
  • dowry system (Daijo Pratha): Dowry system is one of the evil social practices or tradition in Nepal. The cash or goods given to bridegroom from the bride’s father in the marriage ceremony is called dowry. The bridegroom side bargains saying that they would stop the marriage if they do not get enough dowry. So it is a serious social problem. We can see or hear news that some recently married women are facing mental trouble because they could not bring enough dowry. The Tarai area is seriously affected by the dowry system. This system is spreading in other parts of the country also. The conscious people should fight against this system.

Causes of Social Problems, Evils & Inequalities in Nepal

There are many social problems and evils traditionally existing in our country. These are immoral, bad, illegal and unpleasant actions practiced due to different reasons. Some of the main causes of social problems and evils are as follows:

Advertisement

(a) Superstitious beliefs (b) Radical values and beliefs (c) Poverty, unemployment and inequality (d) Illiteracy (e) Corruption, lust for money and consumerism (g) Population explosion and urbanization (h) A decline of community and individualism

(i) A decline of values (j) Drugs and alcohol

Unemployed in Nepalese Society: A Sociological Study After the Declaration of World Unemployed Movement on 1 January 2008

Profile image of His Holiness Mokshatit (सर्वचेतनसर्वोच्चेतन)

World Unemployed Movement started from Nepal in 1 January 2008 affected several sectors of the Nepalese society. Basically: Effect on those who are unemployed: unemployed started to talk and gather for their rights. They’d begin organization and with organizational move unemployed started rally, conferences, membership distribution, discourses, and wall painting etc. demanding unemployed rights. Effect on the Country: Thousands of Nepalese youth participated in Self-employment project declared by Nepal Government. Loan without Deposit (Bina Dhito Rin) was a famous program all youth were interestingly participated on it. Effect on Government: after the movement, Government was fully serious to tackle this issue, though it was not on successes. Nepal Government, Ministry of Finance led by Dr. Baburam Bhattarai announced, first ever program for unemployed in Nepal. When Bhattarai led the government later as Prime Minister of Nepal again he continued it with ‘Youth Self-employment Fund’ project. All other Governments after him continued it. Effects on Politics: All political parties declared their understanding about unemployed in their manifesto and speeches. Agenda of unemployed was a central agenda for all political parties. In CA it is a major agenda to discuss. Unemployed movement seems to be the beginning of Non-labor movement, an anti-thesis of Marxist tradition. Which may deny Marxism at all when it makes its height; proving non-workers, non-peasants, non-labors and unemployed are true proletariat; and they are exploited by the workers.

What does 'unfree labour' mean in a post-revolutionary context? Based on an ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between 2008 and 2009 in the far-western lowlands of Nepal, this article argues that the brick kiln owners on the Nepal–India border continued their attempts to bind labour by handing out advances and delaying payments, despite the fact that the state had prohibited all forms of bonded labour under the Bonded Labour Abolition Act of 2001. However, the employers and the workers accepted this system of unfree labour only as long as it remained within certain boundaries. I conclude by suggesting that the Maoist Revolution should be judged as a partial revolution: although it addressed some inequalities, it neglected others due to an ideologically narrow framing of the meaning of unfree labour.

Mahatma Gandhi enjoyed the stature of a person who had unique integrity, truthfulness, reliability and compassion. He was a man of deeds. His thoughts influenced all sectors of society: social, educational, cultural, economic, and political. He was not an economist but his economic vision holds immense relevance for the modern times. His vision of Sarvodya, his call for Swadeshi, full employment, use of country’s own resources, preservation of ecology, equality in income distribution and employment opportunities, where everyone is given right to earn according to his capacity, are of great importance in today’s world as well. This paper aims to bring these factors to the fore-front in order to deal with the never-ending problem of unemployment faced by the Indian population. Keywords: Gandhi, Sarvodya, Swadeshi, economy, unemployment, self-reliance, twenty first century.

Introduction-In 2019, the Government of Nepal introduced the 'Prime Minister Employment Programme' with the aim of reducing poverty and enhancing the country's workforce by generating employment opportunities. Purpose-This paper aims to address the following research inquiries: What is the impact of PMEP on agricultural projects and the rural economy in Nepal? How successful is PMEP in creating employment for rural individuals? To what extent does PMEP encourage women's involvement, and how do local governments contribute to its implementation? Design/methodology/approach-This study collected and examined secondary data from various sources, such as the PMEP website, policies, legal documents, annual reports, and relevant literature. Additionally, informal discussions and unstructured interviews were conducted with government stakeholders to gain insights into the implementation process. Current newspapers and reports were also utilized to provide additional information and perspectives. The data in this study is presented using textual, descriptive, tabular, and diagrammatic formats. Findings-The findings reveal that the program has faced challenges in delivering on its commitment to generate employment, with a significant gap between registered individuals and actual employment opportunities. Additionally, there is a disproportionate emphasis on road and community infrastructure development, neglecting the vital agriculture sector. The involvement of local governments falls below the intended level considering the allocated budget for the local level. Relevance to development-There is growing literature that shows the key role that labour intensive public works can at least provide a short term social protection function. In the context of Nepal where employment opportunities are extremely limited, Prime Minister's Employment Program has an important role to play in bringing appropriate employment opportunities to secure social and economic rights of the people in the lon run.

Social security programs are integral to realize the constitution’s goal of achieving inclusive economic development, equity and democracy-based socialism in Nepal. The major political parties have shown a strong commitment towards social security and protection. The programs have seen gradual expansion over the years and have seen good share in total government expenditure. This is a step in the right direction to ensure social security and protection of the people. However, inadequate human resources, planning and coordination have constrained its effectiveness. In long run, the sustainability of social security programs, for example, the old age pensions, depends on the Social Security Fund’s ability to make productive investments and its ability to adjust to changing demographic parameters. Policymakers need to learn from the experience of other countries including the OECD where population ageing due to the demographic shift has posed increased pressure on public finance. In those countries, the long-run sustainability of the pension system is at the center of policy debates. In Nepal, in recent past, new initiatives have been taken to ensure and include a larger population in social security. For instance, politically ambitious Prime Minister’s Employment Program can be viewed among one of them. In this study, while discussing various aspects of social security measures, an attempt is made to explore what is desired for policy improvement in overall social protection policy of Nepal while taking a case of newly introduced PM employment program.

Nepal: Contemporary Democratic Politics

essay social problems in nepal

Nepal’s democracy has made a distinctive identity of the Nepali version. Nepal has witnessed the experience of the second episode of democracy in the constitutional monarchy set-up from 1990 to 2007. Nepalis today are experiencing the first chapter of inclusive democracy in the infant republic declared in 2015. The result of seven decades of political trials since 1950 is not a new political issue for contemporary Nepalis. The preamble mentioned in the Seventh Constitution of Nepal 2015, the result of the ongoing political struggle, has clearly and accurately defined the past, present and future of Nepali politics in a terse chronicle. Democracy in Nepal has become achievable for the violent protests as a means of Nepali politics and the peaceful disobedience of the populist forces.

The story of politics, the consequences of pain and expectation in politics, whether or not we like it, we have no choice but to walk in the vicinity and sync of time and situation. These activities are interdependent in such political and social movements, creating many upheavals in public affairs. We can sum the political vibrations caused in the political repercussions in the political system as neither performance-oriented nor deliver solutions-based actions within the democratic templates even if there are politico-administrative praxis. The primary temporal challenge is seen on the surface. The primary reasons are the lack of strengthening of the foundations of parliamentary democracy, and the delay in the process of democratization of democracy by managing short, medium and long term political transitions.

In the present’s grammar of the Government of Nepal, maintaining a full or collective or comprehensive democracy is an inseparable concern of all. There are three areas of specialization in politics – government and state (polity), private sector (economy) and civil society (political society). The fourth pillar of political communication (media) is the positive activism of political parties and the promotion of the infrastructures of emerging politics. The role of this fourth pillar in promoting political education, political socialization and political advancement is crucial in the 21st century.

Nepali democracy is strengthened by maintaining the balance and control of the interrelationships between the three interdependent and interconnected sectors, including political proactiveness and political semantics, political-economic perspectives and practices, and the conduct of public administration. Ideological diversity and intersectional pluralism pervade political society. Efficient leadership helps bridge the gap between political thinking and performance-oriented delivery of the rhetorics. The practice of pragmatic political mastery and politico-administrative professionalism was not limited to the politics experienced in the Western political society. The time has come for Nepal not to be an exception. The above three bases of governance – thinking of political action, implementation of political ideas and adoption of public professionalism – are also the seeds of social transformation in Nepal. In political aspirations, leadership style and its culture naturally determine the intensity and extensity of political will.

In terms of economic thinking, the challenge is not only to imprison Nepal’s poor economy in the vision of prosperity or its kept tall promises. But also to turn it into realization is no less a daunting challenge. In order to achieve the goal of good governance and sustainable development of Nepal, the current cycle of coronavirus pandemic, the conflict-ridden legacy of the Nepali political economy, and the signs of negative economic growth are further disrupted and stunted. There should be full implementation of public policy in public affairs, whether they are annual policies and programs, fiscal and monetary policies.

It is equally important whether the three core public policies are backed and followed down and up in the strata of bureaucracy, government and governance in Nepal. It is essential that the basic national policy address current and future challenges. Apart from maintaining security, peace and tranquillity, the administration is not impervious to facilitate the state of flux of the state and society and to act as a catalyst for change. Politics should also be sensitive to public management bodies. Therefore, public opinion and political aspirations towards the state and the government assist bonafide citizens and assuage the public to convey positive sentiments.

Public intellectual circles have their own fundamental traditions and new political consciousness on behalf of civil society. Its concept of rational cooperation and coexistence will become more and more universally accepted. In this matter of importance, if the political parties involved in it adopt the ideological practice of mutual rationale of existentialism, in addition to a conventional and agitation role of a vigilant civic society. Civil society is circumscribed into the role of social opposition in Nepal. It can also be analyzed that the use and practice of political theory in Nepal have been misappropriated, abused or deviated if otherwise. These basic and general political problems have eroded internal and external sovereignty creating its thin layer of supreme authority in the design of popular sovereignty. Weaknesses in sovereignty have certainly not diminished some of the hopes in politics that will be resolved over time.

The first chapter of the Republic of Nepal will come to an end if the power struggles in the culture of the political leadership and tensions or anxiety continue in the incumbent leadership. The presidential system of the Executive Rule is not unlikely to be the beginning of the second chapter of the Republic of Nepal. In comparative politics, for example, French politics is in the version of the Fifth Republic after the French Revolution. Despite the failures and successes of Nepal’s political history, in a liberal democracy, all Nepali people depend on the art of doing politics as much as possible when time and tide are cruel and tough.

Nepal’s entry into federalism under this process is another stage of decentralization. The idea of ​​local-oriented self-government, which has been promised in the past or declared in political history, can be considered as the political remedy of overdue administrative affairs. In addition, the voice of inclusive democracy is characterized by respect for plurality and its spiritual acceptance and self-co-existence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that political knowledge is the vehicle of change in the form and structure of the state. In the context of changing world affairs, the end of the old, conservative and authoritarian tendencies is inevitable. The friction of equity and equality in our life world, society and national sphere can also be taken as a part and parcel of political conduct. It is time to jump from simple talk to follow the results of positive thinking in politics. Politics is considered the art of both the possible and the impossible. Because of these state activities, sophisticated and dynamic politics will become the current vernacular and reality of the new Nepal.

Essay on Social evils in Nepal-2021

                                      SOCIAL EVILS

essay social problems in nepal

                                WHAT IS SOCIAL EVIL?

The anti-social practices prevalent in the society are said to be social evils. These practices harm the society and its good social tradition. Those evils must be rooted out for the prosperity of the people and the country as soon as possible.

                                  EXAMPLE OF SOCIAL EVILS

The people of different nature and attitude live in a society. Good people do well to the society where as the bad one harms the society. These bad people introduce social evils like theft, robbery, untouchability and other forms of social discrimination. Early marriage, polygamy, dowry system, drug addiction, girls trafficking etc. are other examples of social evils. They harm the feeling of equality and mutual respect.

                              CONSEQUENCES  OF SOCIAL EVILS 

Social evils are increasing rapidly. Robberies are committed in broad daylight. We often hear robbers robbing a bank. Smugglers carry out their business farelessly. Public are unsafe. Women are raped in public. Wishing to be rich overnight idols are smuggled, girls are trafficked, youth are lured to addiction. The poor girls are allured for money, threatened and compelled to involve in prostitution. The young children have been the drug addicts. On the account of their bad habit, they do not hesitate to steal things and commit crimes.

Our country is facing those problems at present. They exist because of the ignorance of the people. Most of the people are uneducated in developing countries like Nepal. They do not know about the way to fight against the social evils. They are mostly traditional minded. Therefore, they have strong faith in superstition. They regard untouchability, dowry and some other practices as their tradition. They strongly support them rather than discarding. Similarly, government and civil society seem to be quite ignorant toward these problems. It is the duty of the government to carry out effective programs to educate the people against these problems and punish those who encourage these evils in the society. The smugglers and traffickers must be strictly punished. The role of civil society is vital to fight against these evils because they can easily aware and educate the local people in the society against them.

                              SOLUTIONS FOR SOCIAL EVILS

To sum up, elimination of social evils has been the urgent need of the country. It can be eliminated with the joint effort of the government, people, civil society and other social organization. If they are not checked on time our future will be nowhere.
