This was a turbulent, eventful era which had a transformative impact on the country. In this short span, Nepal experienced the Maoist revolt, the palace massacre, the state of emergency, the royal coup, the people's movement, the republic, the Madhes uprising, the Constituent Assembly, federalism and the new Constitution.\u003cbr\u003eLooking back at these developments, Sudheer Sharma argues that poverty, unemployment and oppression drove the Maoist revolt, and despite its ultimate failure, it played a decisive role in the socio-political transformation of Nepal. Furthermore, the relationship between the Maoists, the monarchy (Durbar) and the Indian establishment (Delhi) is absolutely critical to the understanding of the trajectory of the changes. \u003ci\u003eThe Nepal Nexus\u003c\/i\u003e examines the impact of each of these three strands and tracks the complex interplay between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sudheer Sharma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0670089303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670089307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.20w x 1.90d","brand":"Sudheer Sharma","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435637125375,"sku":"9780670089307","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d66f282d-3727-4cf5-827a-baf599e8da53.jpg?v=1777151691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nepal-nexus-sudheer-sharma-9780670089307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
