The Constitution of Nepal 2015 was a historic achievement born from decades of struggle and a devastating earthquake. Promulgated on September 20, 2015, it ended the monarchy and established federalism, but its birth was marred by violent protests and an unofficial Indian blockade that crippled post-quake recovery. A decade later, the document remains contested, with unresolved grievances and an active amendment debate. This article explores the difficult path to promulgation, the blockade's lasting impact, the constitution's progressive features, and the unfinished business of Nepal's republic.
