9. Acquisition and Termination of Citizenship after the Commencement of the Constitution:
(1) A person who is born after the commencement of this Constitution and whose father is a citizen of Nepal at the birth of the child shall be a citizen of Nepal by descent.
(2) Every child who is found within the Kingdom of Nepal and the whereabouts of whose parents are not known shall, until the father of the child is traced, be deemed to be a citizen of Nepal by descent.

Now, where's the mother in all of this? I guess she isn't even a citizen huh?

Furthermore, let's face it, calling Nepal a "Hindu" kingdom is a travesty. How about making the constitution all inclusive? What about all the bonbons, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians. atheist, and Buddhists? Are we to sweep them all under the rug and ignore them? No wonder the Maoist movement is in full bloom. The primary reason is this: Nepal's elites will do anything to keep hold of whatever power they have. The people's movement is a product of Nepal's "elites" ignoring the janjatis. Now spin it all you want, but 90% of our leaders are bahuns or chettris. The king makes a big, fat salary every year and ignores the masses. And the constitution probably doesn't even matter anymore after the king has made himself even more powerful.
I say Nepal needs "affirmative action" and workplaces/schools should reflect Nepali demographics. So for example, if 7% of Nepalis are Magars, workplace should reflect this. At leat government jobs should strive for equality. If we achieve this, at least we will be moving towards equality for all. Otherwise, Nepal's regular people will feel more and more isolated and the civil war we have going on will only exacerbate.
Hinduism isn't what all Nepalis follow. There are cases where different relgions overlap. Some Nepalis are shamans who are heavily influenced by Hinduism, and the census takes them as Hindus. Is that right, I ask? Were they to be taken as Shamans, the number of Hindus in Nepal will be lower, and Nepal's elites don't want that. Of all hubris the king shows, none of them are worse than the king declaring himself Vishnu's reincarnation.
If Nepal wants to move full-steam ahead, first we need equality.
