September has seen a great deal more political activity on the ground than recent months. Pro Hindu groups wishing to see Nepal return to a Hindu state including Kamal Thapa’s RPP – N have been increasingly vocal in their demands. This has been primarily in the east of the country where the RPP-N enjoys strong support. However, other ‘Hindu struggle committees’ have been active in other parts of the Tarai with some active support from NC and UML district leadership.Similarly some leaders of the NC have also been vocal in the objection to a secular state.The formation of alliances and preparations for agitations continues with the UCPN-M led Federal Republic Alliance expanding its district committees particularly in the Eastern and Central regions. In addition, the Federal Limbuwan Party Nepal announced its unification and planned protest programs due to begin after Tihar. Another identity based group known as the Kirat Rai Yayokkha also announced their plans for a Kirat state that would theoretically includethe areas proposed by the Limbuwan. Similarly some smaller Madhesi parties in the MWR have also formed alliances to increase strength though it is not clear what their objectives are.
