Abstract
This article aims to investigate the reasons for and modalities of the
rejection of the minority approach in Nepal’s 1990 Constitution-making
experience.1
The analysis is conducted in light of the country’s postPanchayat process of re-democratisation and vis-à-vis the high degree of
socio-cultural diversity of the Nepali polity in which no group amounts to a
numerical majority.2
The 1990 Constitution-making process was articulated
in two phases: (a) the drafting of the document by the nine-member
Constitution Recommendation Commission (CRC) between 31 May and 10
September 1990, and (b) the finalisation of the draft by a three-member
Cabinet Committee, leading to the promulgation of the document on 9
November 1990.3
