“…To make such an unequal relationship natural, social jurists make many rules and practices. Advocates of the Hindu caste system and state officials are the ones who make and enforce such rules (Koirala, 2007). Why is there caste discrimination in society?…”

“…Rulers like Jayasthiti Malla, Ram shah (Gorkha), Jung Bahadur Rana, in particular, made Manusmriti the main policy of the state, which has taken strict policy towards Shudras or Dalits and argued that they should be kept away from education and property. With the exception of Ran Bahadur Shah, who opposed the caste system, and Raja Jaya Prithvi Bahadur Singh, who considered untouchability as an inhuman culture, the Dalits were deprived of education by both the state and religion from ancient times to the Rana period (Bista, 1991;Koirala, 2007).…”

“…As a result, Dalits could not stay in school in a dignified manner. However, modern education allowed Dalits to enter schools, but justice was not done (Koirala, 2007). The school for Dalit children was given such a culture that upper caste teachers and students were treated with contempt and untouchability, humiliated reading materials, and inferiority complex.…”

“…There are various reasons for this. Before 1970, Dalits were considered a culture of poverty because they did not attend school (Koirala, 2007). But even with free education and financial support, it is important to know why they did not attend school as expected and why they did not stay.…”

“…According to Basil Bernstein, the curriculum is guided by the kind of knowledge that society gives to the form of knowledge, and technology accumulates that knowledge in the head of the student. The exam tests the same thing and the student is bound by the same knowledge (Koirala, 2007). According to Freire (1996), the banking education system makes the Dalits more oppressed instead of identifying the causes of inequality.…”

The purpose of this article is to explore the reasons behind the historical backwardness of Dalits in education and analyze it on a theoretical basis. Based on theoretical review and personal interactions, this article is qualitative. Due to the strict policy of the caste system, especially Dalits have been deprived of every opportunity of human development for a long time. Manusmriti gave untouchability to the caste system which started from the Varna system in the name of religion. The ruler of the state merged religion with the state. Thus historically Dalits have been deprived of education by both religion and the state. At present, despite the removal of caste restrictions, the participation, sustainability, and achievement of Dalits in education are low. Even though the state has provided various facilities by increasing educational opportunities, there has been no meaningful participation of Dalit children in schools. The main reason for this is the continuity of social culture and the ceiling of job. The caste discrimination in the community is reflected in the schools as well. As a result, Dalit children have not been able to take benefit from the current education system in a fair and independent manner. This article shows that Dalits can be brought into the mainstream of education only through the education system which can create an equitable cultural capital to change the social structure developed on the cultural basis of inequality. Similarly, the education system needs to be restructured, and continuous efforts are needed to transform discriminatory values and attitudes into human values and integrate these values into practice.

Madan Bhandari and His Theory of People’s Multiparty Democracy

People’s Multiparty Democracy (PMPD), postulated by Madan Kumar Bhandari in the early 1990s, is a political, economic, and social theory that combines Marxism with specific Nepali attributes. By reviewing the global landscape of socialist movements, Bhandari’s political thought offers a theoretical framework for critically examining Nepal’s evolving production relations based on its contemporary class dynamics. Tragically, Bhandari, who served as the Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN [UML]), lost his life in a mysterious car accident in 1993. His political journey traces back to the 1960s when he began as a communist party worker during the Panchayat regime under the absolute monarchy. Subsequently, he drew inspiration from the postwar rise of communist parties around the world but went on to reshape Nepal’s unique left movement, setting it distinctly apart from other communist parties in South Asia and beyond. He recognized the need for a joint movement with non-communist groups like the Nepali Congress for the restoration of multiparty democracy, which remained vital in his ideological transformation. Applying a historical explanatory approach, this article explores the factors contributing to the formulation of PMPD while also retracing the evolution of Bhandari’s ideological position in the left movement with Nepali characteristics. Through an examination of the political history and Bhandari’s political philosophy, this article sheds light on the theory of PMPD, which has now become the guiding principle of CPN (UML).
