Description: Battles of the New Republicby Prashant Jha Synopsis: It is a meticulously researched and deeply passionate book. Generations of readers will turn to it to understand Nepal’s fraught transition to democracy’ Manjushree Thapa. In the past decade, Nepal has undergone arguably one of the boldest political transformations in South Asia. Identity-based politics has brought long marginalized social groups into the mainstream and upended the bulwark of Nepali nationalism the Hindu monarchy. Yet, the process of change has repeatedly broken down, and Nepal’s fragile polity, under stress from various forces, has continuously fragmented, the first Constituent Assembly failed to draft a Constitution, the Maoists, who sparked the transformation with an armed insurrection, and once represented hope, have been co-opted into the very political culture they once challenged, never-ending political negotiations have chronically paralyzed the governance initiatives needed to address Nepal’s problems; and India, the country’s powerful neighbour, has played an overwhelming role in national politics, choosing to intervene or stay away at crucial junctures In exhaustively analyzing all these issues, Prashant Jha covers extensive territory, in the corridors of power in Kathmandu and New Delhi as well as on the ground in the Tarai and forges a narrative that is as comprehensive in its overview as it is detailed in chronicling the minutiae of day to day politics.
