" Maoist Movement in Nepal: A Sociological Perspective" examines the state-sponsored discriminatory social practices in the Nepali society on the basis of religion, caste, ethnicity, gender and langauge which directly and indirectly helped in boosting the eleven-year-long Maoist Movement. The book analyzes almost all the terms which have been used by different scholars for charactering such movements. It examines ideology; environment; organization and strategy of the Maoist Movement. It also critically analyzes the policies and the programs of the major political parties and their different governments during the second tenure of democracy (1990-2002) to address the people's aspirations.
