“…There is also a larger literature based on samples of parents and children residing in the same household in India and other South Asian countries (Hnatkovska et al 2013;Jalan and Murgai 2015;Maitra and Sharma 2010;Sinha 2018), samples affected by other sources of selectivity such as excluding young people who are in school or children younger than a certain age (Choudhary and Singh 2017;Ranasinghe and Hartog 1997), or samples with insufficient information to assess their representativity and quality (Tiwari et al 2016). Two common themes emerge from this literature.…”

“…Nevertheless, a large proportion of the population remains clustered just above the poverty line. In a synthetic panel study of national household survey data, Tiwari et al (2016) found there was significant churning of households near the poverty line between 2003 and 2010, with roughly two-fifths of the poor in 2010 having been classified as nonpoor in 2003. They cited a recent Gallup World Survey report finding that 90 percent of Nepalis see themselves as 'suffering' or 'struggling'.…”

The research is focused on the political position of the middle-class in the selected area of Banke and Bardiya district. The objective of the research is to explore the middle-class formation process, its position, and the political orientation with its connection to caste/ ethnicity. It adopts the structuralist theory and the relative class power model. It has followed the mixed method of research. This study adopted the gradational concepts of class and measured them based on the self-perceived notion. Documentary resources, questionnaire surveys, and telephone interviews are used for data collection. Diversification of profession and tertiary activities, bureaucracy, expansion of education and activities of NGO/ INGO, adoption of privatization, and inclusive representation are major factors in the formation of the middle class. Middle-class people like to be more active in civil society and social organizations than in a political party. It opens the door to a new gateway of research on the middle class and helps to promote common values and a roadmap without exploitation and repression of the ruling class. Despite the postmodern claim of the death or irrelevance of class, the class concept is still relevant as an analytical factor and more as a source of political power. The new middle classes are focused on governance, service delivery, and transformation in addition to social justice, inclusion, and empowerment.
