Violent Extremism and Terrorism in Nepal

Violent extremism in Nepal involves individuals or groups using violence to promote radical beliefs or political goals, often targeting others based on religion, ethnicity, or ideology. Terrorism refers to planned, deliberate acts of violence intended to create fear and achieve specific aims. In Nepal, such issues are relatively limited but have included incidents linked to ethnic conflicts, political instability, and wider regional influences. Addressing these threats requires understanding the social and political contexts, promoting inclusive development, and strengthening security and community resilience.
