Abstract

This paper has assessed the exclusion of Dalits through new dimensions which creates new discourses in the reconstructing of the state of Nepal.Dalits are highly excluded groups ever than ethnic groups and Madhesis.The total population of Dalits is not less than other groups which covers about twenty percentage of the total population of Nepal.However, Dalits are excluded socially, politically and economically by the states and elites of the society since 25 hundred years.Social exclusion is a dynamic process of progressive multidimentional rupturing of the 'social bond' at the individual level and collective levels (Silver, 2007).For study Dalits exclusion, the secondary data are used and reviewed some articles based on the subjects.It is found that Dalits are the poorest groups of Nepal.The multidimensional exclusion of Dalits makes them absolute poor and it is difficult for them to come out of poverty.The demand of identity of Dalits is different than the ethnic groups and Madhesis as they are Hindus like other higher caste elites and their culture and language are similar.The emancipation of Dalits is not clear till now even after the Second People's Movement of Nepal in April 2006.Dalits had very low representation in the House of Representatives.Major political parties do not have clear cut proposal about the issues of Dalits' connection.
