Abstract
This thesis aims to identify the concerns of indigenous nationalities in Nepal and to analyze them from an anthropological perspective in the national political context. It describes the situation of indigenous nationalities in Nepal. The discriminatory governmental practices and social exclusion experienced by the indigenous nationalities are examined. The thesis highlights the major concerns of indigenous nationalities along with the general perception of the indigenous movement based on the questionnaires and focus groups conducted as a part of this research in Kathmandu, Nepal in the summer of 2008. Recommendations are presented for public policy to heed indigenous concerns and issues to create a 'fully democratic' Nepal. The findings of the research reveal that the position of indigenous leaders may not always be supported by the people they represent.
