Introduction
Nepal is a land of Brahmans and Chetri castes which accounts for almost 80% of Nepal’s population. It is situated in the foot of the Himalayas or the Mount Everest. Nepal has a total population of more than 30 million. Its capital is Kathmandu and the local language is Nepalese. Nepal has a literacy rate of 45% and the religions followed by the people of Nepal are Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. The various industries on which Nepal depends upon are Tourism, agriculture and textile. With the decline of the monarch in the year 2008, Nepal became a federal state ruled partially by Nepal congress and by the communist party of Nepal.

The dalits in Nepal as a result tie themselves to Maoist activism for their survival which subsequently leads themselves to be killed by the government security forces.
The dalits are also debarred of sound health facilities, food, water and public services. Hence their mortality rate is extremely high. There are rules by the government for protecting and uplifting the lives of the poor and the lower classes of Nepal but due to nepotism and corruption among the government officials no proper measurements are taken.
