Summary: The present study is an attempt to understand the problem of Maoist insurgency in Nepal since its inception to the withdrawal of the insurgency and the Maoist joining the political mainstream. The Maoist decision in 2006 to join the multi party democracy has not only given a new dimension to Nepali politics but it also raises a number of questions of academic interest. Why did Maoist take a U-turn? What are the problems and prospects of republican state and inclusive democracy in Nepal? How does the Maoist look at their political future in the upcoming political system of Nepal? These are the issues that this book has tried to focus upon. The study runs into seven chapters' viz. • COMMUNIST MOVEMENT IN NEPAL: HISTORICO-POLITICAL CONTEXT A MOVEMENT IN THE MAKING PARTIES, GOVERNANCE AND POTCS BETWEEN 1990-95 MAOIST IDEOLOGY. ORGANIZATION AND STRATEGY • MAOIST SUPPORT BASES, FACTORS AND FORCES • GROWTH OF MAOIST MOVEMENT MAOIST MOVEMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES TAKING A 'U' TURN: MAOISTS JOINING THE POLITICAL MAINSTREAM ISSUES: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS The study is designed to discuss the Maoist problem in its total perspective: from its emergence to their joining the mainstream politics and afterwards. It is hoped that the book will be useful to both academics and the general readers.
