The rights of OBC (other Backward class)peoples have come to the forefront in Nepal recently,especially after the two movements of Madhesh. Now they are hotly debated in the context of drafting the new constitution. It has been an increasingly politicized is sue. Nepal is a multiracial, multicultural, multiliingual and multiethnic country. There has been a long history of exclusion and marginalization and the socio-economic differences among various national group are stark. The debate about minority people's rights also includes a general call for more participation,selfgovernance , empowerment in many segments of society, indigenous or not.The debate is how the constitution should best guarantee the widest possible degree of autonomy for Nepal 's OBC and what mechanism canensure effective implementation while preserving a balance with interests of the whole population at large with general standards of human rights and democracyand with the goals of establishing and integrated, and governable and prosperous Nepal.
