Ethnisation: A concern of all
There was a seminar in Nepal (some seven-eight months before) ranging around the issues of the need, attempts, popularity of ethnicizing discourses in contemporary Nepal, the diversity of stakeholders and of their discourses on ethnicity, the shift of the'ethnic paradigm' during the last 15 years, ethnisation and its consequences, and ethnisation and de-ethnisation in Nepal's past. I understand that these types of discourses are definitely going to reinforce the mutual understanding, developing strategies, policies, and programs for the development and improvement of nationalities in and outside the country. The important fact that I would like to reiterate to be considered is these issues should not be the issues of ethnic minorities only but also of majorities. Therefore any attempts to be taken to development and improvement should be participative, inclusive-- accommodating all stakeholders.
