ABSTRACT

The present article tries to give an overview of the Maoist People’s War in Nepal. After 10 years of Maoist People’s War and three and a half years of royal supremacy, the condition of Nepal is terrible. The insurgency and counter-insurgency operations by the state have led to the destruction of properties and lives of many Nepalese people. The Maoist people’s war in Nepal has seriously affected the socio-economic condition, human rights and politics of the country. The Maoists have formed an alliance with the mainstream political parties which indicates that the Maoists are willing to take the path of democracy. The paper tries to identify the causes that triggered the people’s war, the gradual development of the war, the support structure and strength, the neighbouring countries’ perspectives and conflict management efforts taken from different levels to solve the problem.
