This book explores various domains of the Nepali public sphere in which ideas about democracy and citizenship have been debated and contested since 1990. It investigates the ways in which the public meaning of the major political and sociocultural changes that occurred in Nepal between 1990 and 2013 was constructed, conveyed and consumed. These changes took place against the backdrop of an enormous growth in literacy, the proliferation of print and broadcast media, the emergence of a public discourse on human rights, and the vigorous reassertion of linguistic, ethnic and regional identities. Scholars from a range of different disciplinary locations delve into debates on rumours, ethnicity and identity, activism and gender to provide empirically grounded histories of the nation during one of its most important political transitions.

However, she is holding onto Rohan whom she has known during her days in New Jersey, USA. A quick Internet check and Naina is shocked to find that Shaurya is a widower, but this is just the beginning of upheaval. Over a period of one year, Naina’s life intertwines with Shaurya, her two flat mates – one who is a B-school aspirant and the other a small town girl dazzled by big city life, her challenging workplace and her past nightmare.

Whenever Naina and Shaurya interact, fireworks erupt but many questions are posed in the process.
