Nepal has a long history of struggle for self-determination and democracy. Various ethnic groups like the Magars fought British colonial rule. The Maoist insurgency and protests by marginalized groups like indigenous peoples and Madhesis led to the abolition of the monarchy in 2008. The newly formed Constituent Assembly aims to address demands for autonomy, representation and rights for indigenous and minority groups in drafting a new constitution, but faces challenges from internal political differences and foreign intervention.
