Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
Nepal
officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a country in
South Asia and, as of 2010, the world's most recent nation to become a
republic citation needed. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to
the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east,
and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square
kilometres (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 30 mill
ion,
Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st
most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the
country's largest metropolitan city.
Nepal
is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and
religions. The mountainous north has eight of the world's ten highest
mountains, including the highest, Sagarmatha, known in English as Mount
Everest. It contains over 240 peaks more than 20,000 ft (6,096 m) above
sea level.The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized.
A
monarchy throughout most of its history, Nepal was ruled by the Shah
dynasty of kings from 1768, when Prithvi Narayan Shah unified its many
small kingdoms. In 2006, however, a decade-long People's Revolution by
the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) along with several weeks of mass
protests by all major political parties of Nepal culminated in a peace
accord, and the ensuing elections for the constituent assembly voted
overwhelmingly in favor of the abdication of the last Nepali monarch
Gyanendra Shah and the establishment of a federal democratic republic in
May 28, 2008. The first President of Nepal, Ram Baran Yadav, was sworn
in on 23 July 2008.
Geography:
Nepal
is of roughly trapezoidal shape, 800 kilometres (497 mi) long and 200
kilometres (124 mi) wide, with an area of 147,181 km2 (56,827 sq mi).
See List of territories by size for the comparative size of Nepal.
Nepal
is commonly divided into three physiographic areas: the Mountain, Hill,
Siwalik region and Terai Regions. These ecological belts run east-west
and are vertically intersected by Nepal's major, north to south flowing
river systems.
The
southern lowland plains or Terai bordering India are part of the
northern rim of the Indo-Gangetic plains. They were formed and are fed
by three major Himalayan rivers: the Kosi, the Narayani, and the Karnali
as well as smaller rivers rising below the permanent snowline. This
region has a subtropical to tropical climate. The outermost range of
foothills called Shiwalik or Churia Range cresting at 700 to 1,000
metres (2,297 to 3,281 ft) marks the limit of the Gangetic Plain,
however broad, low valleys called Inner Tarai (Bhitri Tarai Uptyaka) lie
north of these foothills in several places.
The
Hill Region (Pahad) abuts the mountains and varies from 800 to 4,000
metres (2,625 to 13,123 ft) in altitude with progression from
subtropical climates below 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) to alpine climates
above 3,600 metres (11,811 ft). The Mahabharat Lekh reaching 1,500 to
3,000 metres (4,921 to 9,843 ft) is the southern limit of this region,
with subtropical river valleys and "hills" alternating to the north of
this range. Population density is high in valleys but notably less above
2,000 metres (6,562 ft) and very low above 2,500 metres (8,202 ft)
where snow occasionally falls in winter.
The
Mountain Region (Parbat), situated in the Great Himalayan Range, makes
up the northern part of Nepal. It contains the highest elevations in the
world including 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) height Mount Everest
(Sagarmatha in Nepali) on the border withChina. Seven other of the
world's eight thousand metre peaks are in Nepal or on its border with
China: Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna
andManaslu.
Climate
Nepal
has five climatic zones, broadly corresponding to the altitudes. The
tropical and subtropical zones lie below 1,200 metres (3,937 ft), the
temperate zone 1,200 to 2,400 metres (3,937 to 7,874 ft), the cold zone
2,400 to 3,600 metres (7,874 to 11,811 ft), thesubarctic zone 3,600 to
4,400 metres (11,811 to 14,436 ft), and the Arctic zone above 4,400
metres (14,436 ft).
Nepal
experiences five seasons: summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring.
The Himalaya blocks cold winds from Central Asia in the winter and forms
the northern limit of the monsoon wind patterns. In a land once thickly
forested, deforestation is a major problem in all regions, with
resulting erosion and degradation of ecosystems.
Nepal
is popular for mountaineering, containing some of the highest and most
challenging mountains in the world, including Mount Everest.
Technically, the south-east ridge on the Nepali side of the mountain is
easier to climb; so, most climbers prefer to trek to Everest through
Nepal. Morever Nepal has 8 of the top 10 highest mountains of the world
with postcard beauty.
Largest Cities
The 10 largest cities (by population) in Nepal are as follows
1. Kathmandu (Pop.: 1,442,271)
2. Pokhara (Pop.: 200,000)
3. Patan (Pop.: 183,310)
4. Biratnagar (Pop.: 182,324)
5. Birgunj (Pop.: 133,238)
6. Dharan Bazar (Pop.: 108,600)
7. Bharatpur (Pop.: 107,157)
8. Janakpur (Pop.: 93,767)
9. Dhangarhi (Pop.: 92,294)
10. Butwal (Pop.: 91,733)
Culture
A
typical Nepalese meal is dal-bhat-tarkari. Dal is a spicy lentil soup,
served over bhat (boiled rice), served with tarkari (curried vegetables)
together with achar (pickles) or chutni (spicy condiment made from
fresh ingredients).. The Newar community, however, has its own unique
cuisine. It consists of non-vegetarian as well as vegetarian items
served with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Mustard oil is the
cooking medium and a host of spices, such as cumin, coriander, black
peppers, sesame seeds, turmeric, garlic, ginger, methi (fenugreek), bay
leaves, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, chillies, mustard seeds, etc., are
used in the cooking. The cuisine served on festivals is generally the
best.
Music of Nepal
The
Newari Music orchestra consists mainly of percussion instruments,
though wind instruments, such as flutes and other similar instruments,
are also used. String instruments are very rare. There are songs
pertaining to particular seasons and festivals. Paahan chare music is
probably the fastest played music whereas the Dapa the slowest. There
are certain musical instruments such as Dhimay and Bhusya which are
played as instrumental only and are not accompanied with songs. The
dhimay music is the loudest one. In the hills, people enjoy their own
kind of music, playing saarangi (a string instrument), madal and flute.
They also have many popular folk songs known as lok geet and lok dohari.
The
Newar dances can be broadly classified into masked dances and
non-masked dances. The most representative of Newari dances is
Lakheydance. Almost all the settlements of Newaris organise Lakhey dance
at least once a year, mostly in the Goonlaa month. So, they are called
Goonlaa Lakhey. However, the most famous Lakhey dance is the Majipa
Lakhey dance; it is performed by the Ranjitkars of Kathmandu and the
celebration continues for the entire week that contains the full moon of
Yenlaa month. The Lakhey are considered to be the saviors of children.
Folklore
is an integral part of Nepalese society. Traditional stories are rooted
in the reality of day-to-day life, tales of love, affection and battles
as well as demons and ghosts and thus reflect local lifestyles,
cultures and beliefs. Many Nepalese folktales are enacted through the
medium of dance and music.
The
Nepali year begins in mid-April and is divided into 12 months. Saturday
is the official weekly holiday. Main annual holidays include the
National Day, Martyr's Day (February 18), and a mix of Hindu and
Buddhist festivals such as dashain in autumn, and tihar in late autumn.
During tihar, the Newar community also celebrates its New Year as per
their local calendar Nepal Sambat.
Most
houses in rural lowland of Nepal are made up of a tight bamboo
framework and walls of a mud and cow-dung mix. These dwellings remain
cool in summer and retain warmth in winter. Houses in the hills are
usually made of unbaked bricks with thatch or tile roofing. At high
elevations construction changes to stone masonry and slate may be used
on roofs.
Nepal's
flag is the only national flag in the world that is non-quadrilateral
in shape, and one of only two non-rectangular flags in use (the other
being the flag of the U.S. state of Ohio). According to its official
description, the red in the flag stands for victory in war or courage,
and is also color of the rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal. Red
also stands for aggression. The flag's blue border signifies peace. The
curved moon on the flag is a symbol of the peaceful and calm nature of
Nepalese, while the sun represents the aggressiveness of Nepalese
warriors.
History of Nepal
Prehistory
Kathmandu Valley
Neolithic
tools found in the Kathmandu Valley indicate that people have been
living in the Himalayan region for at least 9,000 years. It appears that
Kirat ethnicity people were the first people to settle in Nepal and
ruled Nepal for about 2,500 years.
Ancient
Terai
News writes, "Nepal has been highlighted for the last several centuries
in Sanskritliterature like 'Skand Purana'. 'Skanda Purana' has a
separate volume known as 'Nepal Mahatmya', which explains in more
details about the beauty and power of Nepal." Nepal is also mentioned in
Hindu scriptures such as the Narayana Puja and the Atharva
Siras(800–600 BC). Around 1000 BC, small kingdoms and confederations of
clans arose in the region. From one of these, the Shakya confederation,
arose a prince named Siddharta Gautama (563–483 BC), who later renounced
his royalty to lead an ascetic life and came to be known as the Buddha
("the enlightened one"). The 7th Kirata king, Jitedasti, was on the
throne in the Nepal valley at the time. By 250 BC, the region came under
the influence of the Mauryan Empire of northern India, and later became
a vassal state under the Gupta Empire in the fourth century AD. In the
fifth century, rulers called the Licchavis governed the majority of its
area. There is a good and quite detailed description of the kingdom of
Nepal in the account of the renowned Chinese Buddhist pilgrim monk
Xuanzang, dating from c. 645 AD. The Licchavi dynasty went into decline
in the late eighth century and was followed by a Newariera, from 879,
although the extent of their control over the entire country is
uncertain. By the late 11th century, southern Nepal came under the
influence of the Chalukaya Empire of southern India. Under the
Chalukayas, Nepal's religious establishment changed as the kings
patronised Hinduism instead of the prevailing Buddhism.
Medieval
By
the early 12th century, leaders were emerging whose names ended with
the Sanskrit suffix malla ("wrestler"). Initially their reign was marked
by upheaval, but the kings consolidated their power and ruled over the
next 200 years; by the late 14th century, much of the country began to
come under a unified rule. This unity was short-lived; in 1482 the
region was carved into three kingdoms: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur.
Kingdom of Nepal
Hindu temples in Patan, capital of one of the three medieval Newar kingdoms
After
centuries of petty rivalry between the three kingdoms, in the mid-18th
century, Prithvi Narayan Shah, a Gorkha King, set out to unify the
kingdoms. Seeking arms and aid from India, and buying the neutrality of
bordering Indian kingdoms, he embarked on his mission in 1765. After
several bloody battles and sieges, he managed to unify the Kathmandu
Valley and surrounding territory three years later in 1768. However, an
actual battle never took place to conquer the Kathmandu valley; it was
taken over by Prithvi Narayan and his troops without any effort, during
Indra Jatra, a festival of Newars, when all the valley's citizens were
celebrating the festival. This event marked the birth of the modern
nation of Nepal.
In
1788 the Nepalese overran Sikkim and sent a punitive raid into Tibet.
Kangra in northern India was also occupied by the Nepalese. In 1809,
Ranjit Singh the ruler of the Sikh state in the Punjab, had intervened
and drove the Nepalese army east of the Satluj river.
At
its maximum extent, Greater Nepal extended from the Tista River in the
east, to Kangara, across the Sutlej River in the west as well as further
south into the Terai plains and north of the Himalayas than at present.
A dispute and subsequent war with Tibet over the control of mountain
passes forced the Nepalese to retreat and pay heavy reparations to
China.
Rivalry
between Nepal and the British East India Company over the annexation of
minor states bordering Nepal eventually led to the Anglo-Nepalese War
(1815–16). At first the British underestimated the Nepalese and were
badly defeated until committing more military resources than they had
anticipated needing. They were greatly impressed by the valor and
competence of their adversaries. Thus began the reputation of "Gurkhas"
as fierce and ruthless soldiers. The war ended in the Treaty of Sugauli,
under which Nepal ceded recently captured portions of Sikkim and lands
in Terai as well as the right to recruit soldiers.
Factionalism
inside the royal family had led to a period of instability. In 1846 a
plot was discovered revealing that the reigning queen had planned to
overthrow Jung Bahadur Rana, a fast-rising military leader. This led to
the Kot Massacre; armed clashes between military personnel and
administrators loyal to the queen led to the execution of several
hundred princes and chieftains around the country. Jung Bahadur Rana
emerged victorious and founded theRana lineage.
The
king was made a titular figure, and the post of Prime Minister was made
powerful and hereditary. The Ranas were staunchly pro-British and
assisted them during the Indian Sepoy Rebellion in 1857 (and later in
both World Wars). Some parts of the Terai Region were given back to
Nepal by the British as a friendly gesture, because of her military help
to sustain British control in India during the Sepoy Rebellion. In
1923, the United Kingdom and Nepal formally signed an agreement of
friendship, in which Nepal's independence was recognized by the UK.
Slavery
was abolished in Nepal in 1924. Nevertheless debt bondage even
involving debtors' children has been a persistent social problem in the
Terai. In the late 1940s, newly emerging pro-democracy movements and
political parties in Nepal were critical of the Rana autocracy.
Meanwhile, with the assertion of Chinese control in Tibet in the 1950s,
India sought to counterbalance the perceived military threat from its
northern neighbour by taking pre-emptive steps to assert more influence
in Nepal. India sponsored both King Tribhuvan (ruled 1911–55) as Nepal's
new ruler in 1951 and a new government, mostly comprising the Nepali
Congress Party, thus terminating Rana hegemony in the kingdom.
After
years of power wrangling between the king and the government, King
Mahendra (ruled 1955–72) scrapped the democratic experiment in 1959, and
a "partyless" panchayat system was made to govern Nepal until 1989,
when the "Jan Andolan" (People's Movement) forced King Birendra (ruled
1972–2001) to accept constitutional reforms and to establish a
multiparty parliament that took seat in May 1991. In 1991–92, Bhutan
expelled roughly 100,000 ethnic Nepalis, most of whom have been living
in seven refugee camps in eastern Nepal ever since.In 1996, the
Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) started a bid to replace the royal
parliamentary system with a people's socialist republic by violent
means. This led to the long Nepal Civil War and more than 12,000 deaths.
On 1 June 2001, there was a massacre in the royal palace. King
Birendra, Queen Aiswarya, Crown Prince Dipendra and seven other members
of the royal family were killed. Dipendra was accused of patricide and
of committing suicide thereafter. This outburst was alleged to have been
Dipendra's response to his parents' refusal to accept his choice of
wife. Nevertheless there are speculation and doubts among Nepalese
citizens about who was responsible.
Following
the carnage, Birendra's brother Gyanendra inherited the throne. On 1
February 2005, Gyanendra dismissed the entire government and assumed
full executive powers to quash the violent Maoist movement, but this
initiative was unsuccessful because a stalemate had developed where the
Maoists were firmly entrenched in large expanses of countryside yet
could not dislodge the military from numerous towns and the largest
cities. In September 2005, the Maoists declared a three-month unilateral
ceasefire to negotiate.
In
response to the 2006 democracy movement King Gyanendra agreed to
relinquish sovereign power to the people. On 24 April 2006 the dissolved
House of Representatives was reinstated. Using its newly acquired
sovereign authority, on 18 May 2006 the House of Representatives
unanimously voted to curtail the power of the king and declared Nepal a
secular state, ending its time-honoured official status as a Hindu
Kingdom. On 28 December 2007, a bill was passed in parliament to amend
Article 159 of the constitution — replacing "Provisions regarding the
King" by "Provisions of the Head of the State" – declaring Nepal a
federal republic, and thereby abolishing the monarchy. The bill came
into force on 28 May 2008, as the constituent assembly overwhelmingly
voted to abolish royal rule.
Republic
The
Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) won the largest number of seats in
the Constituent Assembly election held on 10 April 2008, and formed a
coalition government which included most of the parties in the CA.
Although acts of violence occurred during the pre-electoral period,
election observers noted that the elections themselves were markedly
peaceful and "well-carried out."
The
newly elected Assembly met in Kathmandu on 28 May 2008, and, after a
polling of 564 constituent Assembly members, 560 voted to form a new
government, with the monarchist Rastriya Prajatantra Party, which had
four members in the assembly, registering a dissenting note. At that
point, it was declared that Nepal had become a secular and inclusive
democratic republic,with the government announcing a three-day public
holiday from 28 to 30 May. The King was thereafter given 15 days to
vacate the Narayanhiti Royal Palace, to re-open it as a public museum.
Nonetheless,
political tensions and consequent power-sharing battles have continued
in Nepal. In May 2009, the Maoist-led government was toppled and another
coalition government with all major political parties barring the
Maoists was formed. Madhav Kumar Nepal of theCommunist Party of Nepal
(Unified Marxist-Leninist) was made the Prime Minister of the coalition
government.
Religion in Nepal

Nepal religiosity
religion percent
Hinduism 80.6%
Buddhism 10.7%
Islam 4.2%
Mundhum 3.6%
Christianity 0.5%
Other 0.4%
The
overwhelming majority in Nepal followHinduism. Shiva is regarded as the
guardian deity of the country.Nepal is home to the largest Shiva temple
in the world, the famousPashupatinath Temple, where Hindus from all
over the world come for pilgrimage. According to mythology, Sita Devi of
the epic Ramayana was born in the Mithila Kingdom of King Janaka Raja.
Near
the Indian border, Lumbini, is a Buddhist pilgrimage site and UNESCO
World Heritage Site site in the Kapilavastu district. It is held to be
the birthplace in about 563 B.C. of Siddhartha Gautama, a Kshatriya
caste prince of the Sakya clan, who, as the Buddha Gautama, gave birth
to the Buddhist tradition. The holy site of Lumbini is bordered by a
large monastic zone, in which only monasteries can be built. All three
main branches of Buddhism exist in Nepal and the Newar people have their
own branch of the faith. Buddhism is the dominant religion of the
thinly populated northern areas, which are inhabited by Tibetan-related
peoples, such as the Sherpa.
The
Buddha, born as a Hindu, is also said to be a descendant of Vedic Sage
Angirasa in many Buddhist texts.The Buddha's family surname is
associated with Gautama Maharishi.Differences between Hindus and
Buddhists have been minimal in Nepal due to the cultural and historical
intermingling of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Morever traditionally
Buddhism and Hinduism were never two distinct religions in the western
sense of the word. In Nepal, the faiths share common temples and worship
common deities. Among other natives of Nepal, those more influenced by
Hinduism were the Magar,Sunwar, Limbu and Rai and the Gurkhas.Hindu
influence is less prominent among the Gurung, Bhutia, and Thakali groups
who employ Buddhist monks for their religious ceremonies.Most of the
festivals in Nepal are Hindu.The Machendrajatra festival, dedicated to
Hindu Shaiva Siddha, is celebrated by many Buddhists in Nepal as a main
festival.As it is believed that Ne Muni established Nepal,some important
priests in Nepal are called "Tirthaguru Nemuni".
Islam
is a minority religion in Nepal, with 4.2 % of the population being
Muslim according to a 2006 Nepalese census.However, a more recent
estimate indicates that Muslims constitute approximately 5-10% of the
population.
People of Nepal
Perched
on the Southern slopes of the Himalayan Mountains, the Kingdom of Nepal
is ethnically diverse. The Nepalese are descendants of three major
migrations. These migrations have taken place from India, Tibet, and
Central Asia. Among the earliest inhabitants were the Newar of the
Kathmandu Valley and aboriginal Tharu in the southern Tarai region. The
ancestors of the Brahman and Chetri caste groups came from India, while
other ethnic groups trace their origins to Central Asia and Tibet,
including the Gurung and Magar in the west, Rai and Limbu in the east,
and Sherpa and Bhotia in the north.
Nepal Weather
Nepal
is, undoubtedly, a naturally beautiful country that enjoys pleasant
weather round the year. Its geographical diversity has divided the
weather into five weather zones — tropical, tropical zone, temperate
zone, cold zone, sub artic zone and the artic zone. The country enjoys
different seasons of spring, summer, monsoons, autumn, and winter.
However, the spring and autumn season offer the ideal time to visit the
country when it is neither too hot, nor too cold.
Spring
Spring
season in Nepal continues from March till May. It also offers the best
time to visit the beautiful country of Nepal. In this particular season,
the country attracts large number of tourists. The months of
March-April are considered the second best season for trekking, the best
time being October-November.
Summers
The
month of June heralds the arrival of summers which lasts till August.
During the summer months, the average temperature lingers around 280 C.
However, the hilly areas experience much higher temperature due to
scorching sun.
Monsoons
Nepal
receives monsoons from June that continues till September, with 2,500
millimeters of rain every year. After monsoons, starts the dry season
from October till November which offers enjoyable weather, as
countryside gets lush green after the rains.
Autumn
As
the natives get a little relief from scorching summers and heavy rains,
then comes autumn which lasts from September to November. This is
certainly the best time to visit Nepal, as the surrounds get clear by
summer monsoons. During autumn months, the weather remains pleasant, not
much affected by cold.
Winters
Nepal
enjoys winter season during December-February. The temperature reaches
almost the freezing point during these months, while hilly regions
experience rough weather and heavy snowfall.
