untouchability free nation affetcs these too: 1. caste based untouchability- where 3000 years old India tradition was imposed by the early rulers of nepal, namely Jayasthiti Malla in his 'Manav Nyayashastra', Ram Shah in his "Chabbis Thiti', Surendra Bikram Shah's 'Muluki AIn 1910 BS'. This Muluki Ain is the main instrument that evolved and deeprooted untouchability in Nepal so much that the roots have become poison now. There were sections like 'jaat ghataune ko mahal', . The same Muluki Ain also had 'Hagne Padhne ko Mahal". Seriously. 2. gender untouchability-where women are discriminated during their first mensturation and on every menstuartion cucle 3. religious untouchability-where 'only hindus' are allowed in pashupati contarary to the fact that hindus have easy access to churches, mosques and buddhist shrines 4. Economic Untuchability: Where the poor 'have nots' do not have access to the national resources and often oppressed by the 'haves' as well as the state mechanism.
