The discourse on social exclusion in Nepal is very ideological, with some authors considering basically all Nepalis as socially excluded except for male Brahmins of hill origin. This is not very useful for targeted economic and social interventions, and this book attempts to provide statistical evidence on what population groups are de facto excluded along a number of economic and social dimensions.
