Post-conflict identity crisis in Nepal: Implications for educational reforms

► We explore tensions of national identity, as played out in the evolving context of post-accord transitional politics in Nepal. ► The rise of ethnic politics following the peace agreement in 2006 has ruptured the notion of unified national identity. ► We argue that educational reconstruction must deal with the notion of identity as part of a measured process to correct the legacy of ethnic, linguistic and caste-based marginalisation in Nepal.
