At a time when Nepal is facing a state of uncertainty, Kathmandu-based Social Science Baha is organising an international conference to discuss the matter of representation, pluralism and inclusion in Nepali democracy. 'The Agenda of Transformation: Inclusion in Nepali Democracy', is scheduled to be held 24-26 April. Says organiser Deepak Thapa, "While the Maoist insurgency creates the context, it has become necessary to look deeper and beyond it to address the need to create an inclusive, representative, participatory system of government."
